round yellow pill imprint with C G on one side & R B on the other side
I found a small round yellow pill in my living room today with the imprint on one side of C G and the other side of R B. I have searched online and have called the pharmacist and have been unsuccessful in determining what type of drug this is. None of my family including my family next door that visits several times a day every day knows whose pill this is or what it is. Can you please help me determine what this pill is? Any help is greatly appreciated! :) ## HI, Sandy! There's a good reason your pharmacist didn't know what this one was, it's a veterinary medication. It's used to treat flea infestations and it's called Capstar. Is there anything else I can help with?

Medicine To Get Regular Periods
i getting 21 yrs old this year have a weight of 65kg . i was 13 yrs old when i have my period and since then ii was already irregular. sometimes it last 8 to 9 months of not having period. what med will i take. i am anemic too. ## HI, Rayza! There are many things that can cause this, but what you need to do is see a doctor to discover which one it is and then they'll be able to help you find the proper solution. It could be due to being anemic, if that's been going on for a long time, since your body has the ability to do such things to protect itself. But it could also be due to a hormonal imbalance, or being underweight. Have you ever consulted a doctor about it?

robery drug store due to with drawl from soboxone
son alledly robbed drug store after 6 days without availibility of Soboxon. Can this cold turkey withdrawl cause a person to rob a drug to obtain Suboxone? ## Hi Ron, Sorry to hear about what happened with your son. Based on what I've seen in other Suboxone-related threads here, this drug can influence serious personality changes. They are, however, not usually regarded as 'severe' unless the medication is being heavily abused. Some personality changes may also be a result of withdrawal symptoms, but the only types of people you hear about robbing places to get their fix are those who feel they are in grave danger without it. So I can only imagine that he must've had an extremely high tolerance to even reach that point of withdrawal. Do you know whether or not your son w...

Isoxsuprine Hydrochloride sustained release tablet Side Effects
I am 20 weeks pregnant and my gynac prescribed above medicine for days for abdominal pain. Please advise is there any side effect of the same on my baby. ## Hi, Yogi! How are you doing? Congrats on the baby! If your doctor feels you need this, due to the pain you were having, then the risks would be far greater if you didn't take it as prescribed. Isoxsuprine helps increase blood flow to the baby, sometimes when you're pregnant it doesn't flow throughout your abdomen as well as it should due to the added weight of the baby or just sluggish blood vessels. Learn more Isoxsuprine details here.

Have your potassium levels been checked? A low potassium level has also been known to cause night time leg cramps, so the solution could be as simple as taking a low dose supplement, or increasing your dietary intake of Potassium. I suffered from them for many years, as well, until it was discovered that my potassium levels were very low.

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.

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 ...
