Antibiotic Red Capsule 3147 Teva
I was given about 6 of them by a friend for an absess on my arm. Is it safe to take them for an absess? Will it help heal it; possibly make it go away without having to go get it lanced and squeezed at the hospital. ## The red capsule you're describing is identified as Cephalexin 500 mg; an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Unfortunately there's no real way of knowing how well you'll end up responding to this drug, since it's common for antibiotics to effect each person differently (with regards to side effects, duration of treatment, and overall efficacy). This is why it's so important to use a legitimate prescription from your doctor, because they can offer you more appropriate advice after an in-person diagnoses/evaluation. For anyon...

round gray pill 343
What could this be? Its round grey/blueish pill with 343 on one side but the other side is blank? ## Hi, Jeff! Where did you find it? I'm not finding anything in the databases that matches this and I've been searching off and on since I first saw your post the other day. Can you also double check the imprint? Does anyone else recognize this tablet?

Pregabalin And Mecobalamin Capsules is used for what
Pregabalin And Mecobalamin Capsules is used for which kind of diseases ## Hi, Parvez! The combination of Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant and the vitamin Methylcobalamin is most commonly used to treat nerve pain, since both have been shown to help alleviate it. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Learn more Pregabalin details here. Additionally, if you have been on this medication for a long period of time, it is unsafe to stop abruptly, because doing say may cause the risk of seizures. Is there anything else I can help with?

D Rise Sachet
i studied dialy dose 600 IU to 800 IU per day,but in D rise sachets it contains 60000 IU , does it becomes toxic or any adverse effect may appear ## Hi, Narendra! For short term use, you can take this high of a dosage of Vitamin D. It is so important to our overall health that these types of doses are often given to people that are severely deficient in it. However, you couldn't keep taking this for a long period of time, because you would eventually build up too much of it in your body, which could also be dangerous. Did your doctor tell you to take this?

Oxycodone shortage SCAM
Guys, i hate to tell you this but its all bulls***>>> after 3 weeks trying to fill my Oxy 30, 140, i finally got to speak to my Pharm Manager who Ive used for 12 years. He told me straight up, that all the calls and people have hurt their regular business, so they decided to stop ordering Oxy in any amout to avoid the crap I was floored as all of a sudden he filled my script on the spot not 30 secs before they were all telling me they didnt have any. He told me last that would be the last one filled as hes not ordering anymore.

Side Effect Cataspa
during menustration i undergo a lot of pain in my abdomen i take cataspa whenever my abdomen undergoes pain is it safe? ## Hi, Shona! Cataspa contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more Cataspa details here. Have you consulted a doctor to see what's causing the pain? Contrary to what many believe, suffering such pain during menstruation is not normal and doesn't have to happen. There are quite a few reasons that it may occur, most of which can be easily fixed. One reason it could be happening is due to a deficiency in Magnesium, thus the solution can be as simple as eating more Magnesium rich foods or tak...

IS EVION 400 CAPSULES HELP TO GROW HAIR LONGER
im 26 yrs old my hair is so thin and im facing hairfall my friends suggested to use two evion tablets mixed with daily hair oil and use it.is it work for my hair ## Hi, Soni! Evion is just a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin E, it is vital to the health of our hair, nails and other vital body functions, but it's not going to help grow hair or to thicken it. You may do well with a multivitamin supplement, since a deficiency in some nutrients could cause the type of problems that you're having. Another supplement you may want to look into is Biotin, it's been shown to help prevent hair loss and promote new growth. Before doing so, however, please make sure to check with your doctor that it is safe for you take anything. Is there anything else I can help with?

Evion Tablets Side Effects
MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED EVION TABLET FOR HER LEG PAIN CONTINOUSLY BLEEDING FOR A MONTH AFTER TAKING THIS TABLET SHE IS HAVING NAUSIA AND DIAHERIAI ## Evion is just a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin E, thus it is unlikely to help much with her medical issues, anyway. The dosage may be too high for her and that could be why she got nausea and suffered diarrhea. How is she doing now?

Walgreens Agrees to Pay a Record Settlement of 80 Million for Civil Penalties under the Controlled Substances Act
I thought this might be of interest: Walgreens Agrees to Pay a Record Settlement of $80 Million for Civil Penalties under the Controlled Substances Act- "Walgreens’ alleged failure to sufficiently report suspicious orders was a systematic practice that resulted in at least tens of thousands of violations and allowed Walgreens’ retail pharmacies to order and receive at least three times the Florida average for drugs such as oxycodone." Source: justice.gov/dea/divisions/mia/2013/mia061113.shtml ## Thanks for taking the time to share this bit of info with us. Walgreens eventually had it coming to them with all the alleged government surveillance going on. Apparently they were filling customer prescriptions that they knew or should have known were not for legitimate medi...

Pictures Of Pills To Help With Gall Bladder Pain
I have a pill to help with gall bladder pain from a friend. (I KNOW) ! It is a mustard yellow, shaped like a football and has 93-12 printed in black. ## Hi, Tracy! Sorry you're miserable. However, this tablet is not a pain reliever. It contains 40mgs of Pantroprazole in a time released formulation, it is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions such as ulcers, heartburn, GERD and gastritis. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Learn more Pantoprazole details here. They may have misunderstood where your pain is coming from. Is there anything else I can help with?

trasadone distribution
Is there a problem with the distribution of trasadone ## Apparently there was a major trazodone shortage going on in the UK earlier this spring, but I haven't come across any specific details explaining what really happened. It could be that the stock is still low. Though it seems the only way to know for certain would be to contact the manufacturer directly. One article I did find stated that, "there is a liquid formulation 50mg in 5ml that may also be available in the meantime (MIMS price £31.91 for 120ml); and that you should contact your Lead Pharmacist for advice about alternatives to get you by until it's back on the shelves." I hope this info helps! Has anyone else heard anything?

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...

i am taking Metosartan25mg for the past 3 months. since a week i am having a sort of dizziness, head ache, nausea and also pain on my shoulders and legs. Is it the side effects of consuming the above drug? what is the remedy? ## HI, Krish! Metosartan contains the active ingredients Metoprolol and Telmisartan, it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. And yes, those can be side effects, but after 3 months, they should have tapered off by now and not be affecting you so badly. What have your blood pressure levels been recently? Are you checking regularly? The dizziness, headache and nausea could be caused by it dropping to low sometimes, that coupled the pain you're experiencing might mean that you're dehydrated. Are you restricting your...
