Not being able to fill your Rx for Oxycodone
Oxycodone is yesterday's news, get over it!!!! You all need to stop crying, and face fact's, Roxyies are gone!!! Don't dispare, Zohydro just got approved by, Money,Lobbyist, and the DEA. Packs 10 time the punch of Roxies!! My neurologist of 12 year's said I'll have my Rx's for Zohydro next month, and yes, there water soluble. I'm missing 4 disc's in my lower back, and can't get them replaced because of the FDA., won't allow more than one disc's installed in USA., and Busted Cross & Broken Shield of FL. won't pay for having them installed in Europe so I'm must save my pennies up since it will cost me $250,000 to have done in Europe! Which I will do! Google Zohydro, if you think I'm kidding, Best of luck trying to keep getting yo...

Coveram and Viagra
I am taking Coveram 5mg/5mg , can I take Viagra or Cialles pills with it. I am 55 years old with good health. ## HI, Adam! How are your blood pressure levels? That is what needs to be looked at, before you take something such as Viagra or Cialis. They work in a similar way that blood pressure medications do, but dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow, thus there is a chance that combining them could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to fall too low and put you in danger. The best suggestion I can make is that you check with your doctor, before doing so, due to the risks.

In addition to reapril I am using Lyrica (Pregabalin) 150mg on constant bases twice a day with Cataflam 50 mg almost twice a day as well. I used to have sometimes high BP with tension but I never exceeded 100 (as lower level) and few days later it goes back to 140/85. Just I want to know whether Reparil-Dragees is an adding factor to high BP or not? Thanks you all. ## I need to know for what Repair Dragees using and what will be the out come from this usage.

Coreg-wheezing and dizziness
Developed bronchitis, breathing problems on mild exertion, excess musous. Had several courses of antibiotics, chest xrays to check for pneumonia. Finally referred to a pulmonary specialist and put on an inhaler for "wheezing" and maybe asthma. He wants to do a CAT scam now. My daughter researched and thinks it may be the Coreg. My GP switched me to another drug and within less than two days I noticed by balance and dizziness has improved. ## Hi, Leon! Sorry about the medical issues you're having. And yes, it very well could have been due to the Coreg, it contains the active ingredient Carvedilol and it has been known to cause some problematic side effects in some people that take it. I was on it for awhile and it caused very bad Raynaud's and made me miserable. It works ...

30m oxycodone staten island
Go to dr kevin weiner on nelson ave. Good luck ## Thanks for the suggestion on Dr. Kevin Weiner. I was checking out some of his reviews on HealthGrades and he is definitely regarded as one of the top doctors for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the New York Metro Area. Posted below are the contact details to his office in Staten Island for anyone interested in paying him a visit: Kevin H Weiner MD 2071 Clove Rd Staten Island, NY 10304 (718) 442-4422 (Office) Would you describe this doctor as being pretty liberal or conscious of his patient's true medical needs?

Difference between odimont LC and ebastine tablet
Any commen factor between odimont LC and ebastine . Is it okay if use ebastine tablet in the absence of odimont LC tab ## Although both medications are indicated for similar uses, Ebastine is also of a different drug class. And from what other reviews have said, it's is not the best choice for asthma (if this is what you had intended on using it for?). Ebastine is a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist that is indicated for allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. So if you've been using Odimont LC for either of these conditions, it may still turn out to be a viable alternative in the meantime. Odimont LC contains the active ingredients montelukast (10 mg) + levocetirizine (5 mg). This combination is used for the treatment of chronic asthma, urticaria, and/or vari...

Quality control of drugs mfr in India
My insurance company switched me to this generic pill (Alyacen 1/35) and I have not yet started taking it. I am somewhat concerned about it because I see that it is manufactured in India and I wonder what kind of quality control they have over drug manufacturing in that country. I know it was FDA approved, but how do I know it is safe? ## HI, Donna! Regardless of where they are manufactured, any medication that has been approved by the FDA and is available in the U.S. undergoes the same strict testing and quality assurance protocols as those that are manufactured here. And this is actually manufactured by a fantastic and very reputable company, Glenmark Generics Inc., USA. I have taken several of their medications in the past and never had a problem with any of them. If you're unsur...

light blue/ royal blue capsule w/ letters K28 written
Someone gave me this pill and it worked better than an antidepressant. Made my mood better and took my anxiety away. ## HI, Rhonda! A royal blue and clear capsule with K 28 on it contains 30mgs of Phentermine, which is a stimulant that's actually used to aid in weight loss. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and anorexia. Learn more Phentermine details here. It may have helped because your depression and anxiety could possibly be caused by issues that resemble ADHD, rather than whatever you've been diagnosed with. That's just a theory, since I'm not a doctor, but it is possible and has happened to other people, as well. Are there any other questions or comments?

Susten 100 Side Effects
Susten use and sideeffects ## what is the side effect of susten 100 in pergnency ## Hi, Ladies! Susten contains Progsterone, which is a hormone that is vital to the overall health and well being of the female body. A lack of it can cause issues, such as PMS, PND, menstrual cramps, very heavy, prolonged menstrual flow, infertility and miscarriage. It really has no side effects of its own, other than causing a little drowsiness if the dose is too high….however, it does tend to wake up the estrogen receptors and when estrogen becomes the dominant hormone, it can make you pretty miserable. You may experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, weight gain, fluid retention and more. But as to taking it in pregnancy, normally your body produces very large amounts of it whi...

White Watson 10mg 325 #853
I just recieved a new prescription of norco 853 10/325. The last script was yellow and the new ones are white. The pharmacist said that Watson changed the color but the pill is the same, does anyone know if this is accurate ## Watson has change a few different medications and the colors are different. But the Norco you're referring to is the same medication that you were prescribed prior. It is just as effective as the script you had filled before this one and it's a good thing that you ask the pharmacist, the pharmacist is correct. ## LuLu is correct and so was your pharmacist. There have been several posts on here recently about various Watson tablets being white now. It seems that some people were sensitive or allergic to the dyes they were using, thus they decided to do away...

Codesoft tablet and its uses.
Hi, Can u please let me know in what all ways does codesoft tab help girls of age around 20. Cause for Fibrodenoma, Effects treatment. Will they be able to conceive in future? ## Hi, Sandy! Codesoft is just a nutritional supplement that contains Evening Primrose Oil, so it is not actually a medication. And no, actually there's a chance that it could make Fibroadenoma worse, since EPO tends to be estrogenic, meaning it may elevate the levels of estrogen in the body and excess estrogen is well known to be a primary cause of such breast problems. Unless it is causing you a problem, or is disfiguring, Fibroadenoma is usually not treated, since it's harmless. And it could also cause problems with future conception, since excess estrogen tends to overpower the progesterone in your bod...

low platelet count using wellbutrin sr
Hi, I have been using wellbutrin sr 1n the dosage of 200 to 250 mg daily for about 9 months.2 week ago my blodd test showed very low platelet count 10-15, Could this be related to the use of wellbutrin. Please give your comments. Thanks ## Hi, Sahmed! How are you? And yes, from some studies I've found doing a search, Bupropion, which is the active ingredient in Wellbutrin, as well as several other antidepressant class medications can cause changes in the platelet count in some people that take them. Bupropion is not as prone to causing it as the others, but it did do so in some test subjects. Have you consulted your doctor about it? You may need to try a different medication.
