Iam working at pharmacy and I encountered 1 patient with this kind of problem and fluimucil was prescribed to him? ## Fluimicil is listed as containing Acetylcysteine, so no, it won't help with a low sperm count or sperm motility issues.

The last two times I had multiple vaccinations, I have AIDS, I got a whole body reaction, and hurt all over my body, extremely so. Could only get up to pee. spent one day in bed. the next day still hurt not as bad. Well the good new, is it is working, the bad news is the body is over reacting. Have you had the same thing happen to you? or has this not happen to you. this time it was flu, pneumovax and meningitis, the first shot of the meningitis shot a month ago, only caused local soreness, at infection site.

sleep aids ## need iformation on a medication equifalent to doridan ## nitrazepam are probably the closest to doridan. formerly known as mogadon not quite as strong as doridan but had pretty much the same effect ## Glutethimide was last manufactured by the (former) ethical pharmaceutical company, William H Rorer, of Ft.

These are Rite Aids Dairy Aid pills. FYI ## Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing this information! Is there any way you can verify this? Maybe with a link to a picture or some additional info about the pill? I did find an image of a CVS dairy relief pill that has the imprint R124- but I couldn't find any images of the Rite- Aid dairy relief pill. Thanks again! ## I found nothing online. I merely went to my bottle of RA Dairy Relief Tablets and took one out. I could take a picture but if it's it's confidence you seek, that shouldn't work for you. I could doctor an image. The only fool proof method would be the buy a small bottle and personally verify it. I am not making this up, but the accuracy is only as good as your belief in my word.

meds for calming; aids in sleeping ## It has been recommended that my son start using Trypolene for managing emotional thresholds. Before considering this option, I would like to know more about this drug, though I can not find information in the net about this drug. Does it have a different name? Could someone please point me in the right direction for research. ## This is a brand name for the medication Amitriptyline, which is an antidepressant, that is also used to treat insomnia, other mood disorders, and some forms of nerve pain. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is this drug used for HIV/AIDS? If so, what is the generic name? ## I'm sorry, but I can't find anything listed under this name. What country is it from?

Are there any other questions or comments?

My friend has Aids and have been taking Bactrim for a long period of time. I read some side effects of Bactrim and he has all of them. aching joints, swelling, nausea, rashes sometimes. In a lot of pain. I was wondering what he could take in place of Bactrim to see if his condition improves. ## Hi Darryl, sorry to hear about your friend. That's kind of tough because I am assuming that he's been taking the Bactrim in order to prevent pneumonia? Sounds like he needs to be on a preventative treatment but this particular antibiotic can be pretty tough on the body. While there are other antibiotics out there which are generally tolerated better, they may not be a good fit based on his condition and needs. Has his doctor been notified about these side effects? Perhaps they could work ...

Pretty sure this is an OTC aids in sleep. Can't think of the name of the drug right off hand, but it's taken 20 minutes before going to bed for the night. I believe you only need one pill and it simply adds to what your brain already makes. Melatonin(?) maybe. ## This tablet actually contains 1mg of Ropinirole, the active ingredient in Requip, it is used to treat Restless Leg Syndrome and is a prescription medication. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, hallucinations and sudden attacks of sleep, during the daytime. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

I was wanting to know about this durg, because I am doing a research on AIDS and I found that this drug was once tried for AIDS and I was wondering why I didn't work. ## I am not sure if you mean Nonoxynol-9 - but it has been used as a contraceptive agent and to treat certain viral infections up to a certain point. Studies of Nonoxynol-9 had shown that it was not effective against HIV virus. ## Also, another excellent article on why Nonoxynol-9 did not work as a treatment of HIV can be viewed at:

The ear is the organ that detects sound. It not only receives sound, but also aids in balance and body position. The ear is part of the auditory system. Often the entire organ is considered the ear, though it may also be considered just the visible portion. In most mammals, the visible ear is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna (or auricle in humans) and is the first of many steps in hearing. Vertebrates have a pair of ears placed somewhat symmetrically on opposite sides of the hea...

Had been in hospic for Aids. Doc thought I would die, but got better. Placed on 150 mg of methadone per day and 30 mg of morphine per hour (using 20 to 22 pills a day).

Does anybody know any prescription strength sleep aids that are stronger than Melatonin? I have been using at least 10 mg Melatonin a night at bedtime for a few years but it isn’t working like it used to. Keep in mind this is when needed and I would talk to my doctor about this once I have a list related towards this. ## I am 89 and have used Ambien, 5 mg. dose for years, with no bad side effects. It gently brings on a sleepy feeling and usually lasts thru the night. A slight hazy feeling in the a.m. lasts for about an hour but that's all. Recommend that dosage. ## Melatonin is an OTC natural brain chemical, it supposed to have a calming effect. It's about as strong as Benadryl, if you know what I mean. There are many different sleep medications available, and some of the ...
