I have to take my meds every 12 hours. I took my first dose at 3pm. When do I take the next? ## The next dose should be taken at 3am, according to FDA guidelines.

This was prescribed for our dog. He has had hip surgery as well as treating eye infections. He's a Westie and has lots of health issues. I found these in a baggie with his name on it. ## Hello Pepper, I believe what you have there is a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (also known as a MAO-I) which was previously the commonly used drug for use in dogs for the treatment of canine cognitive dysfunction and pituitary-dependent Cushing’s disease. This drug is FDA approved but not regularly used anymore due to the discovery that it has adverse effects with multiple common dog foods and other various drugs given to dogs. I'm not sure if your dog has any of the above listed diseased but this is what the drug was intended to be used for. It may be that they were given in conjunction wi...

I take some Alaxan FR and Amoxicillin when I am at my first weeks of pregnancy, is there any effect for my baby? Could someone help me what to do? ## Alaxan FR is reported to contain Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen [1]. Acetaminophen is generally considered safe to take during your entire pregnancy. Ibuprofen should be taken with caution and avoided in the third trimester [2]. Diclofenac is also an NSAID like Ibuprofen and should be avoided in your third trimester as well [3]. Since you are talking about multiple NSAID drugs, you should definitely work with your doctor to ensure that any medications you are taking fall within safe levels during your pregnancy. Best wishes!
