Long term prednisone use
I am 43 and have been on high doses of prednisone for over 20 . At this time I am working with a new pulmolgist trying to get me off. Can anyone tell me what are the side effects of getting of this stuff. I know the damage it's done being on it. ( I have osteoporosis ,I break bones , diabetes, high blood pressure , glaucoma, , depression, anxiety , I have had steroid psychosis so bad while being hospitalized for asthma the nurses were terrified . ## Hi, Lori! Wow, you've been through a lot. Any possible withdrawal effects will really depend on how slowly the medication is tapered. If it's done very slowly and carefully, then they should be minimal. The most problematic are usually rebound effects, so you could experience increased asthma attacks and the like, but as I said a...

yellow coated tablet q on one side 100 on the other side
I am trying to find the identity of a yellow coated pill with Q impressed on one side and 100 impressed on the other side. Was told seroquil but can not find a match. ## HI, Dawn! I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find a match for this, either. The Seroquel tablet with this marking has them both on the same side, it's manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and is listed in their detailed product pages. Where did you find it? I'll keep searching and post back when I find something.

round white pill teva on one side and c over 2 ont ehe other
i have a round white pill with TEVA one one side and a C over a 2 on the other side. Does anyone know what this is ## Hi, Gary! Where did you find it? I am not 100% sure, since I can't find it listed in any of the databases yet, but I suspect that this is Teva's 2mg Clonazepam tablet. It originally had just the C2 on it, on one side, but they have recently been changing all of their products to add their TEVA logo. If that's what it is, it's a benzodiazepine that's commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and irritability. Learn more Clonazepam details here. Do you have a large retailer nearby that has a high volume pharmacy, such as a Wal...

Was There a KONSYL recall?
Has there been a recall on this product? ## Hi, CatLady! I haven't found any information saying that there is a current recall on it. The last one I found listed was due to a labeling problem and occurred in 2011. However, since this isn't an item that completely falls under command of the FDA, the company isn't actually required to log a recall notice with them or any particular entity. Recalls are actually voluntary and up to their discretion, unless it's due to an issue that has the potential to be very dangerous. Did you try asking at your local stores to see if it was recalled or if they are just out of stock? ## Verwon, thanks for your info. I was inquiring for a friends and have passed on the info. Appreciate it.

Nucoxia contains the active ingredient Etoricoxib, it is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that's used to treat pain and inflammation. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and upset stomach. Learn more Nucoxia details here. It's no more risky or safe than any other medication on the market.

stopped using clacee 500 mg can i go on after 2 days
I stopped using my antibiotics 2 Days ago can I start the course again on the 3 Rd day think i made a mistake to stop ( CLACEE 500Mg ) ## Hi, Fanie! Yes, it can be a mistake to stop, when you start taking antibiotics you should always finish the complete course of treatment, unless you suffer an allergic reaction to them, or your doctor tells you to stop taking them. At this point, having started and stopped, you no longer have enough left to finish a complete course of treatment. You should talk to your doctor and tell them what you did, so you can receive a new prescription to finish. Are there any other questions or concerns?

pictures of white round pill with ambee on one side
I found a pill has a line in the middle on one side and A M B E E on the otherside please help ## HI, Gabby! I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find an identification for this, yet. I am not familiar with that logo, at all and I've seen tons of them. In light of that, my best guess is that it's either something that's available over the counter, since those aren't required to be listed with the FDA, or it's a foreign medication. Where did you find it? The best thing to do would just be to make sure to dispose of it properly.

oxycodone 30mg pain clinics
i have been having trouble getting a good dr who will wright oxycodone 30 mg . my back has been broke before and i was going all the way to florida 16 hour drive just to get meds so if anybody knows of any it would be helpfull i live in ky so as long as it is closer thats fine thank you .... ## Well, the main problem is really when you go in and ask for a specific medication, in a specific dosage. Many doctors will look at this as drug seeking behavior. Whenever you see a new doctor, you need to make certain that you don't demand specific treatment, but you do want to take your medical records with you, or see that copies are sent to them. That way, they can see what has and hasn't worked for you in the past, plus they can see the results from any prior tests you've had perf...

pregnant and detoxing
I just found out I am pregnant and im an addict. I have an appointment with a dr to get detox meds which will be either subutex or suboxone but ive heard one is better than the other for when you are pregnant. Does anyone have any info to help me out please!? ## Hi, Amber! Congrats on the pregnancy and getting help with your addiction! As to which is better, I did some research and found out that both have been used successfully during pregnancy, though Subutex is often preferred since it doesn't contain the Naloxone that is in Suboxone, so it's one less risk to the baby. You can find Suboxone details here. The Naloxone is really the only difference between them. The best thing you can do is discuss all of your concerns and any possible risks with the doctor, so they can help yo...

Mirena for too long.
I have had Mirena for a little over 7 years. I know I need to get it removed but that is not possible for me right now. Lately. I have been experiencing strange periods. They are bright red one day, practically black the next. I will have two or three days that go from heavy to light and than disappear. Two days later, it starts all over again. I thought this might be normal at first, especially since I didn't have a cycle for almost three years before getting Mirena inserted. However, this has been going on for two to three months. I also have cramping in the lower abdominal area that does not coincide with the bleeding. Intercourse is also painful at times and I have experienced cramping and bleeding afterwards. I considered menopause but I am only 31. I also know I am not pregnan...

Feeling tired again on Levothyroxine
I have been on 75mg of Levothyroxine for about 12 weeks now and I've started to feel really tired again is this normal? I had a blood test last week and I am hoping that the doctor will up my dosage but if they don't is this normal? ## Hi, Sophie! Sorry you aren't feeling great. Yes, many people with thyroid conditions experience tiredness and it can be caused by either the medication or fluctuations in the thyroid hormone levels, perhaps both, it's difficult to say. Make sure to inform your doctor of the problem, when you go in for your next visit to get the blood test results, so they know what's going on. Is there anything else I can help with?

viibryd headache
I'm 28 and was taken off welbutrin and buspirone and put on viibryd 40mg I was not dosed up BC I was already on the others. I have hard horrible headaches, more anxiety, muscle pain, sleeplessness, more frequent bowel movements (which I am greatful for), cravings for sweets and have gained 5lbs over the past two weeks :( I don't know what else to do the old meds only helped me concentrate. But did little to nothing for my anxiety and depression. ## Hi, Ashely! Sorry about the problems you're having. Side effects such as this may be experienced any time you start a new medication, or increase the dosage of an existing one. They can last for about 4 to 6 weeks, then they will usually start to taper off as your body has a chance to adjust. However, if the headaches are that sev...

ay an pills
Anu po ba ang dapat itake na pills pag iregular yung menstration mu as in once or twice a year lng para maging regular na ang mens ko. .im 20 yrs old and virgin pa po ako.tnx. .i hope someone could help me! ## Sorry na nagkakaroon ka ng problema sa iyong panregla cycle. Ngunit kung ano ang talagang kailangan lang gawin ay kumunsulta sa isang doktor, sa gayon ay maaari nilang gawin ng isang pagsusulit at ang ilang mga pagsubok upang makita kung ano ang nagiging sanhi ng mga problema. Maraming mga bagay na maaaring maging sanhi ng isang babae na magkaroon ng isang irregular cycle, tulad ng pagiging underwieght, ina-stressed out, radikal na mga pagbabago sa diyeta o mga antas ng aktibidad at marami pang iba. Mayroon ba kayo ng isang doktor na makita regular mong?
