Allergies, Cough & Cold Overview

The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract which affects primarily the nose. Symptoms include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, and fever which usually resolve in seven to ten days, with some symptoms lasting up to three weeks. Well over 200 viruses are implicated in the cause of the common cold; the rhinoviruses are the most common. Upper respiratory tract infections are lo...

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...

bioflu robitussin dm
Can bioflu which contains phenylephrine hcl,chlorphenamine maleate and paracetamol be taken together with robitussin dm which contains dextromethorphan hbr and guaifenesin? Please reply. Thank you so much for your help. ## HI, though they have different ingredients, you would essentially still be doubling up on the same types of medications, so no you most likely shouldn't take them both, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. Getting too much could cause some problems, such as worsening of the side effects. Additionally, since the Phenylephrine can act like a stimulant, adding it with the Dextromethorphan and the Guaifenesin that cause the opposite effect could be very detrimental. Are there any other questions or comments?

Can I Use Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream Usp Around My Eye Area Have A Rash On Eyelid
I have a rash/irritation on my uppper eyelid. Can I use triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP 1% around my eye area? ## Triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.025% and 0.1% are indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses (a.k.a. a disease of the skin). The warning label for this medication does note the following information regarding eye contact: "This medication is to be used as directed by the physician. It is for dermatologic use only. Avoid contact with the eyes." That said, you may want to look into other possible treatment options "if" you sense that the cream will be applied too close to your eyes. The precautions also state that if an irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and...

what is histatussin
i'm a dad concerned dad from jamaica ## From what I can discover, Histatussin contains Chlorpheniramine and Ephedrine, it is commonly used to treat cold and allergy symptoms. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and nervousness. Ephedrine was banned in the U.S., because it can cause cardiac problems, by accelerating the heart rate and blood pressure.

Dilaudid 1mg/5ml cough syr
Dilaudid cough syrup in the USA and Canada is a scheduled II controlled drug as it has 1 mg of hydromorohone per 5ml of cough solution .. It never was over the counter in the last 50+ yrs... You may be confused with some Meds like robitussin AC which has only 10mg of CODIENE in it per 30ml of syrup and thus is a controlled 5 script and you can sign for it at some states pharmacy counter!!

OcuClear
OcuClear was the best eye drops ever. Since it has gone off the market, I have been unable to find anything comparable. Visine does not do the trick at all. Is there an eye drop on the market today that even comes close to what OcuClear would do? Or can I still purchase OcuClear on the internet? ## OcuClear is manufacrured in Canada, Visine L.R. is the equivalent of OcuClear, and it's available in the US. They both share the same ingredient, which is Oxymetazoline. To learn more click about Oxymetazoline the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## I have tried Visine. It may have the same ingredient in it, but something is still different about Visine than OcuClear. I have a problem with red eyes, and OcuClear always cleared...

deconamine sr capsules
blue and white capsule ## Used this drug for years for severe sinus problems. Now pharmacy tells me it is no longer available. Substitute ny-tannic just does not do the job. Why can I no longer get the Deconomine SR from my pharmacy? It is still being mfg. What is the problem? ## Judy, I was told today that there was a court case where the company who makes Deconamine can no longer make it because of one of the ingredients involved in the court case. Not sure if this is true or not.. I'm in the same boat. ## It is not a court case, but due to the Pseudoephedrine that it contained, it is one of the primary ingredients used to make Crystal Meth. The repeated abuse of these types of drugs has caused most pharmacies to move these drugs behind the counter, so they can limit how much is s...

buclizine propan syrup
my 2yr old son has a very bad appertite, i heard propan syrup could help, but i dont know where to get it from. pls can someone let me know where i can purchase it from, i live in the uk. thanks. ## Propan Syrup is actually just a multivitamin nutritional supplement used to make sure that someone is getting enough of the proper nutrients it contains. This, it's not something special to specifically help with appetite. However, an improper appetite that may be causing him to not get enough nutrients kind of starts a cycle, where his health and appetite may get worse, due to one contributing to the other. The ingredients in Propan Syrup are: Buclizine HCl 5 mg, retinol palmitate 2,000 iu, cholecalciferol 200 iu, d-α tocopherol acetate 1 iu, thiamine HCl 1 mg, riboflavin-5-p...
