50 Year Old Pill

I am years old my docotor put me on lo lo on May 7th, 2012 because I have been spotting since April 11th, 2012, the spotting instanly stopped but then my period started on the 16th and I have spotting since then, this is consuming my life, tired of buy pads, my social life has been shot to hell. ## If the side effects of this medication are too bothersome or unpredictable, I think it may be in your best interest to ask your doctor about switching medications or opting for a more natural alternative. One natural alternative that I can think of off the top of my head is Clary Sage essential oil, which is used to help with a wide array of menstrual related problems; including but not limited to regulating periods and easing any pain that may be associated with them. I think it would also b...

My daughter is complaining her ear hurts and it is the holidays so the doctors are closed. I have amoxicillin 250 mg that was prescribed to my 2 year old. I know it's an ear infection I have 4 kids so I have been thru this plenty of times. Just not sure of the dosage to give her. ## Hello, Adriana! How are you and your daughter? Has there been any change? It is never a good idea to give a child a medication, unless their doctor approves and has prescribed it for them, at that age, it is dosed according to body weight, and the strength of the infection. Generally 20 to 30mgs per kilogram of body weight, every 8 to 12 hours. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. ## Please i need to know if 500mg ...

I NEED TO KNOW IF ITS OKAY IF 7 YEAR OLDS CAN TAKE AMOX/K CLAV 500MG Tablets? ## Hi, Taura! Were they prescribed by the child's doctor? If so, then yes this is a dosage that can be used in children to treat a bad infection. However, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. And it shouldn't be given if it wasn't prescribed by the child's doctor, due to the dangers of developing antibiotic resistance. Learn more Augmentin details here.

I have a prescription that I found moving, its about 2 years old, the bottle says 10mg Oxycodone/325 mg Acetaminophen. I tried to look it up and everything just says Acetaminophen but nothing about the Oxycodone. Some insight would be great. I'm wondering if someone ripped me off and switched pills. Regardless, they went in the trash. ## Is the P 500 on one side of the pill? Or is there a P on one side and 500 on the other? I see where it shows Walmart brand acetaminophen 500mg with imprint P500. Usually the label on the pill bottle will give a description of the pill (i.e. imprints, scoring). This pill (P500) is definitely not percocet. Sounds like someone might have pulled the ol' switcheroo on it. ## If the imprint is P 500 it is Ciprofloxacin 500 mg (Cipro-Brand Name) Ciprof...

I want to know if I can give my 11-year-old daughter who is 76-78 lbs. a Hydrocodone APAP 5mg 500 mg because she broke her thumb (doctor put a splint on) and it is throbbing. Doc just told us give her Ibuprofen but that's not helping so much tonight. Thank you ## Have you tried asking her doctor? The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so I wouldn't suggest giving it to any child, unless a doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. ## I would not suggest giving your daughter hydrocodone 5/500 the Tylenol dose for her weight is to much . I would agree with your doctor according to her weight she should take 3.5 tsp of children's Motrin. The reason for having pain at nighties she is most likely not elevating her hand on a pillow.

My doc after looking at my MRI for my back, me having no insurance, sent me to a specialist that i can't afford. He stopped all pain pills and put me off to someone I can't pay to see. So after having pain problems since march of 2013 and being prescribed pain meds, it suddenly stops and he won't refill them. I found some vicodin 5-500 (hydrocodone-Acetaminophen ) from 2011 and wondered if I can still use them for my back pain. ## You could try, they probably won't be as strong.

My child is 9 and weighs 55lbs. What is a normal dosage of amoxicillin in pill form? She has strep. ## @Chris, According to the MayoClinic, the dosage of amoxicillin for children weighing less than 88lbs is solely based on body weight and must be determined by their prescribing doctor. However, for adults and children weighing more than 88lbs, the normal dosage is reportedly 250 to 500 milligrams every 8 hours, or 500 to 875 mg every 12 hours - figures that are also determined by the prescribing doctor. Hope this helps! ## I was surprised when the er doctor prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg to my 9-year-old grandson for an ear infection. Usually, they would prescribe the oral suspension.
