pain control medication for person that has had 15 abdominal surgeries.Abdominal muscle damage, 2 bypasses, 40% of stomach removed, exploratory to locate appendix, attachment of liver to stomach, gallbladder removed, abdominal abcesses. ## Hello, Grinch! How are you? In such cases, the Fentanyl skin patch is usually prescribed, that why it bypasses the stomach, so there is nothing to hinder its absorption. It is a very potent medication, over 80 times stronger than Morphine and each patch is worn for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the person's pain levels and tolerance. The FDA lists this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

The colored portion of the ecosprin av 75/20 is extremely difficult to dissolve and passes in stool as such in tablet form. I do not know if the colored portion is aspirin or AV. Does anyone know which portion of the digestive track the component is suppose to dissolve and gets absorbed. Not only this misleads physician as he thinks you are consuming the drug but actually it is not absorbed, but is literally a wastage of money. ## I found that the colored portion is aspirin and it has a tough gastroresistant cover. But still I don't know why it passes through. ## That is just an outer shell, it is used keep that part of the medication time released, so it helps with your condition over the full time period, rather than having all of it be released and absorbed at once. It is entirel...

if a diabetic person taking glycomet gp2 forte before dinner observe metformin part come out with stool in the morning what conclusion may be drwan about absorption of the medicine in the body.pl guide. ## The Metformin is actually slowly released into your body, to give better blood sugar control for a longer period of time. Basically what you saw in your stool was just the outer shell of the pill, but the medication was still released into your body, just as it should be. The entire tablet isn't meant to be dissolved and broken down, so seeing it in your stool is perfectly normal. Is there anything else I can help with?

Having been on Estradiol patch 0.1 mg/day with side effects and issues. Bloating weight gain, mood swings, added depression to current depression, and social isolation/ withdrawal. Complained to doctor and asked why she would prescribe strongest dose in patch without starting me at lowest and work up if need. ???? So doctor prescribed Evamist one pump per day. Yet it's 1.56 mg per pump. This concerns me as being 15x as much estradiol in dosing. Yet I seen on here that adsorption is much lower. I am confused how that could be. How did you find information verification on that. When I called company they wouldn't give me any confirmation or explanation only as what I read in pamphlet and online. No help. Could anyone help with this issue and concer? Pls explain more in depth. ## S...

I am a paraplegic and my fusion is always swelling. I use the Clon/gaba/keta gel but it's very sticky and messy. How long does it take to absorb? Can I wipe it off after a certain time and get the dosing I need? ## It is usually not advisable to wipe it off, since the absorption time can vary from person to person. However, if I were you, I'd be checking with the pharmacy to see what they are using, when they compound it, as that seems rather odd, it should absorb, just like an other cream. Are they making it like an ointment? If so, that naturally takes longer to absorb and is often sticky. Is it helping you? Have experienced any of the typical side effects, such as skin redness, irritation, or flakiness? ## Is it really that sticky?

I take two metformin at a time in the a.m. & p.m. I have noticed the tablets do not dissolve when I go to use the toilet. Am I getting the full effect of the medication, being that the tablet is still whole when excreted? Thank you. ## Yes, some tablets are coated and time released, so what you are actually excreting is just the shell, but the medication is released and absorbed. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

My best friend & boyfriend of 20+ yrs takes suboxone. He's been on it for over 6 yrs. He has gone thru bouts with alcoholism and prescription drug abuse, thus the suboxone use now. Today I was cleaning and found an empty Johnny Walker bottle under the sink in his bathroom. It was a pretty depressing find but caused me to pause and rethink some of his behavior lately which has been more erratic, angry & he spends a lot of time downstairs by himself instead of hanging w/ me watching a movie at night like we've always done. At first I thought it was his use of "Jacked 3d" some body building supplement that he says gives him energy. ( of course the suboxone use doesn't help so now he's just replacing one addiction w/ another & this crap is getting expensi...

I had a gastric bypass in 2001. I am on a higher dose of Cymbalta. Does anyone know if the absorption of this medication altered by gastric bypass? ## Most medications are, but to be certain, I would recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist, they will be the only ones who can give you a definite answer on that in relation to the dosage you are on. ## I had Gastric bypass some years ago. There doesn't seem to be any difference. ## I had RNY surgery in 2003. It seems I take higher dosages of ANYTHING, due to the surgery. When (blood) lithium levels were tested, and medication was supposedly a theraputic dosage, I had much lower levels than the norm. I use a pill sorter and NEVER miss doses, so go figure. ## I had RNY in 2006. I don't know about Cymbalta, but my surgeon sa...

I am taking suboxone films 8mg. I am wondering if the bottom bridge i have on my teeth effect the absortion? Will it have a reaction to the metal behind my front teeth? Idk wat to do. It doesnt seem to work same when i leave them in. Anyone know the real deal with this???? Please help!! Thanks so much in advance. ## Absorbtion rates can vary for a number of reasons. Time, meaning how long bupe is held in the mouth, amount of saliva build up, and most importantly how much area is covered in the mouth area. In your case, if the dose or part of it is laying on the medal of bridge, it can't be absorbed in this spot. What needs to be done here and anyone else dosing, is when you start to dose, use the driest mouth possible to start, but more importantly is to take the end of end or tip o...

what is the effective half life and absorption rate expected for carb/levo extended release 50/200 mg tab mylan? ## Elimination half-life of levodopa in the presence of carbidopa is about 1.5 hours. Following Carbidopa and Levodopa extended-release, the apparent half-life of levodopa may be prolonged because of continuous absorption. The extended-release formulation releases levodopa and carbidopa over a 4-6 hour period. I'm not quite sure what this equates to in terms of half life. But to be safe I would estimate the half-life to last an extra couple hours. As far as absorption rate goes, the extended release tabs have a bioavailability rate of 0.70 to 0.75. The approx. amount of bioavailable Levodopa in each tab is 140 to 150mg out of the 200mg pill. I hope this helps!

Does anyone know a way to speed up your body's absorption of the Sublocade lump so I don't have to hang so bad? Heat or pour water next to it or something?

pink pill marked 93 290 ## Bupropion is color coded for dosage and absorption rates. Where is that information?? ## Well first of all, that is incorrect, so that information is not available. What a pill looks like, even Burpropion is totally up to the manufacturer, yes, the orignal med manufacturer who had the proprietary patent on the med usually does code them that way, but once a med is available for generic production, it can look however the generic manufacturers decide they want the pill to look, so the size, shape, and color are entirely up to their whit and whim. The FDA and DEA do not have any requirements stating that they must be coded that way, their only requirements state all prescription pills manufactured and/or legally sold in the US must have a unique imprint for ID p...

it' s known that milk interferes with the absorption of some antibiotics, just i want to know for how long after ingestion of cifran one can take milk so that cifran therapeutic effect is not affected. ## Cifran contains the active ingredient Ciprofloxacin, it is an antbiotic and, in this instance, it isn't related to how long it stays in your body, but rather how long it stays in your stomach. Thus, this medication should be taken on an empty stomach either at least a half hour before, or 2 hours after meals. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, skin rash and diarrhea. More details: Are there any other questions?

What's the best way to administer Ostospray to ensure maximum absorption? ## Otospray contains the active ingredient Calcitonin and is most commonly used to help protect against bone mineral loss. As to how much is absorbed into the body, I haven't found any information on that. However, with most medications, it is only a small fraction of what is actually in any given dosage. Does anyone else have any information to add?
