Act Meaning

In relation to Vitamins-----A bottle of Solgar Vits. label says : B-Complex "100". The Supplement Facts Say: Vit. B6 100mg. What do the " " mean, and does the mg(lower case) mean Mg, MG, or mcg? Solgar didn't exactly answer my question. thank you for whatever your ans will be. ## Hello, Tracey! How are you? My best guess is that the "100" is just part of the name to emphasize that it's a complete B complex supplement. And the mg just means milligram, as it usually does. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking 5000mcg once a day of B12, 5000mcg ? ..*Sublingual Am I actually getting 5000 mg worth?

I've been on .25 Teva clonazepam for a number of years and being sensitive to meds avoided taking the Actavis it was replaced with stuck with Teva pills from 2016 for a few months. My anxiety returned a few weeks ago that I think was related to the expired meds. Tried the Actavis and the transition isn't going well. My anxiety's still lingering and I just feel different on the Actavis despite the near equivalence of ingredients with Teva. Would it make sense to try the clonazepam wafer that Teva still manufactures? I'm curious if the formula itself for the active ingredient differs between brands, meaning the same medicine in the pill would be in the wafer. Or is there a brand qualitatively similar to Teva's that others have tried? Or am I just feeling side effects f...

Help with Vertigo ## will adavert help vertico? ## Were you meaning to ask about the medication Antivert? If so, yes it can be used to help with vertigo symptoms. It contains the active ingredient Meclizine, which is an antihistamine that's commonly used to treat nausea and dizziness. It is also available over the counter in 25mg dosages to treat motion sickness, this OTC dosage is most commonly found available under the brand name Bonine and some medications sites will list the actual active ingredient as Meclozine, so please don't be confused and think it's the wrong medication if that's what you see listed. Are there any questions or comments? More Meclizine details can be found here.

Can gelemicin cause flesh eating bacteria allergic reaction? ## Hello, Deborah! How are you? Flesh eating bacteria, necrotizing fasciitis, is an actual bacterial infection, not an allergic reaction. I believe what you're meaning to ask about is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, which is the result of a hypersensitivity reaction to some antibiotics. And yes, there is a risk for it with Gelmicin, just like with virtually all other antibiotics, though it is a very low risk. Are there any other questions or concerns?

## please send info on lavocor asap--side effects--mood swings--negativity ## I'm curious as to whether or not this person was actually meaning to ask about Lipitor, which contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin? Or possibly Mevacor, which contains Lovastatin? The name clearly leads me to believe they meant some type of statin medication, these are usually the first choice for lowering cholesterol. Thus, I'm going to include the link to Statin details , so if they'd return, or if someone else is unsure of the name, they can learn more and possibly see which is the correct one. ## My daughter has been taking this drug for 10 days.

I was wondering if they make DILAUDID in the ER form also. Meaning time released form? ## Yes, they do. It's available in 8, 12, 16 and 32mg extended release dosages, it's actually called Exalgo. The FDA classifies this medication as 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the effect of having zapiz 1 mg or more, with alcohol?

The main danger that arises from combining it with alcohol is that the alcohol can intensify the side effects, which can include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and irritability. The major thing, however, that you have to watch for is the central nervous system depression. The medication causes this, that's how it works and the alcohol can make that even worse. For some people, this can be very dangerous and cause emergency situations or death, because it slows y...

Please explain the meaning of medication half life.Brother was prescribed oxycodon 20mg every 8 hrs. Then decided to take instead 1/2 tablet every 4 hrs and it really did terrible things to him.For three days he was awake and moving;argumentive;and unaware of what was actually going on.Thought pattern was totally disorgqanized.Since the tiny pills are not scored I finally made it clear to him they are not to be cut in half and he is not to change the prescription instructions ever. ## If they are extended release they can NOT be cut in half. Death can occur. Once they are cut, the layering that allows the medication to be slowly released is all dumped into the system. Quoted " Do NOT break, alter, chew, dissolve, or split OxyContin sustained-release tablets. Doing so may cause the r...

This company is a bunch of crooks. Not only do they not understand the meaning of a free trial. A free trial means you test out the product for 30 days and if you don't like it you can return it. 14 days of taking a supplement isn't long enough to actually see any sort of results. Also when ordering via mobile site the $87.47 charge isn't seen anywhere.. The customer service is horrific. Not even sure if they know what the word customer means or stands for. A reputable company would honor a return from an unsatisfied customer, but since this company has no moral or values they did not. Is this company even registered by the BBB? Probably not. BEWARE OF THE SCAM AND THIS SCANDALOUS,SHADY,FRAUDULENT, MISLEADING, and LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE SO CALLED COMPANY. ## Hi Shani, You...

is there a difference in wellbutrin and wellbutrin 150mg sr tab actavissou? i was taking the regular wellbutrin then my new prescriptson is the tab sr. a round pale yellow pill. other coment said it causes sezures? ## Brandy, the "SR" means sustained release, meaning that you take a single larger dosage less often because it is gradually released in your body. There is a minor risk of seizures as a possible side effect of this medication - the chances of it are low but do increase with a higher dose. I'd say since you are starting this new dosage that you either make sure you're around others, or at least have your doc on speed dial to report any side effects. More details about this medication are available at: Hope this helps and good luck!

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache.

My mom is allergic to sulfa, she also cannot eat peas and eggs. Recently the dr gave her microbid and she reacted as if she had sulfa, yet the doctor said the medication does not contain sulfa. Is this medication a sulphite, meaning does it have other chemicals that can make someone who is allergic to sulfa react in the same allergic way? Any information provided would be appreciated. ## Hello, Jake! How is your mom doing? You're actually talking about 3 different substances. Sulfur, which is in eggs and peas, sulfa, which is used to make some medications and sulfites. Most people are not allergic to all 3, since they aren't the same.

Is this medicine used as drugs (in its real meaning)?? Or it is just a painkiller?? ## What do you mean by being used as drugs? The answer is really dependent upon most specifics. All medications are technically considered drugs. Are you asking if it is a commonly abused one that someone might use to get high? It contains the active ingredient Clonixin, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, stomach irritation, increased risk of bleeding, and headache.

If I take 2 tablets of Anxit 0.25 in coffee. Can any side effect happened? ## Are you meaning to ask if it would be dangerous? Yes, there is a slight possibility, because you are basically combining two substances that have the opposite effects in the body. The Anxit, which contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, works similarly to a sedative and if the coffee is regular that contains caffeine, then it is a stimulant, which means there is a risk of your body going into shock and not knowing how to react to them both at the same time. Thus, it's usually safer to not combine them. Are there any other questions? You can learn more Anxit details here.
