Is anyone familiar with the epilepsy medication aptiom and what are the reviews? ## Hi Nicole, From the looks of it, you seem to be the first person to post about this specific medication here on MedsChat. But in terms of reviews, the FDA approved Aptiom back in 2013 based on three large clinical trials, including over 1,400 people who've been living with partial-onset seizures. According to these studies, Aptiom reportedly demonstrated a statistically significant reduction (of up to 50% or more) in standardized seizure frequency from where patients were prior to treatment. This is compared to a 22% reduction in patients who received a placebo. Based on this information alone, Aptiom sounds like a viable treatment option in my opinion. However, one must also consider pros and cons w...

I am on Aptiom for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Any info about side effects when Aptiom is increased. Now at 1200 mg. any info would be greatly appreciated. I think this is my last hope before going to narcotics which really doesn't work on this excruciating nerve pain. Already had two unsuccessful surgeries and was told no more. Thank you.Updaa ## Hello, Mary! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. The side effects won't be different, when the dosage is raised, but you may experience them, again and they may be more intense than at lower dosages. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Aptiom as possibly including nausea, dizziness, tremor, double vision, headache and drowsiness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you very much for your help. ## My...

On our prescription label for sotalol hcl tabs, the sequence aptx2 appears in the bottom right hand corner. What does this sequence mean? ## What manufacturer named APTX2 makes generic atorvastatin? ## I think it is this Canadian company. Apotex. apotex.com/us/en/products/search.asp?qt=All&qs=&t=All%20Products ## Jim is right. I just got on their website. I have just been changed to this generic and have a suspicion that it is what is causing my recent brain fog and fatigue. The website does not tell what country it is made in.The fact that Canada is where the company is does not mean that that is where it was made. I did not feel this way when taking the former generic I was on or when I was on Lipitor. Has anyone else had trouble with this drug? ## That stands for the manufact...

I have been taking tramadol for a bad back for about two years. Only 1 tablet each AM I am going to Spain in two weeks am I apt to have any problems by having this medication with me. I also have 4 other drugs for diabetes. We do travel a lot and have never had a problem but am concerned that the status of this drug seems to have changed. ## Hello, Morey! How are you? You shouldn't have a problem, but I'd suggest making sure that you don't carry more than you need, keep it in the original marked bottle and get a med sheet from your doctor. It will list each medication, the dosing and why it's needed, just in case customs asks questions. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is this pill? ## Found a round pill in my apt. Wanted to know what it was. It's white with blue specks. It's cut in half so all I have is the left side with an M above a 2. The other side is scored in quarters. ## Sun Pharmaceuticals lists the tablet with the MP 273 marking as containing 37.5mgs of Phentermine, it is a stimulant that is used to aid in weight loss. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nervousness, and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

I missed my apt. For refil on my oxy30 because I had flu. Must use what I have to get through until Tuesday when my next apt is. I have fentaynol 100 patches. What is the dosage of fentanol to make up for lack of oxy? Have been on oxy and fentaynol for years. ## Tired If you've been on both the fentanyl and oxycodone concurrently you should be just fine using the fentanyl alone as the doc prescribed it since the oxys are primarily for bt pain. You may have more pain then usual but the patches will hold you until your next appt. without any true opiate withdrawal hope that helps ## Thank you so much! This new law in Florida is horrible. It allows for no exceptions. One must plan their lives around their pain meds new script dates. If you are too sick, too bad. If you are traveling ab...

Which is more apt to cause weight gain, Seroquel (400mg) or Trintellix (10mg)? ## Hi Heather, Because everyone's body reacts and responds differently to each and every medication, there is no way to know ahead of time how your body will respond. The only way to find out is to take each medication for a specific period of time through trial and error. However - NIH.gov does list "weight gain" specifically as a side effect of Seroquel; whilst they list nothing of that sort under Trintellix (vortioxetine). So if I had to guess, Seroquel may be more likely to cause weight gain based off this information alone. I hope this helps!

IF ONE NEVER HAD CHICKEN POX ARE THEY APT TO GET SHINGLES ## No, it is a later manifestation of Varicella Zoster, which is a form of the herpes virus and causes Chicken Pox. You have to have had one in order to develop the other, as reported by the NIH. The issue is that not everyone may have the severe symptoms of chicken pox that many experience, so just like being infected with the herpes simplex that causes cold sores, they may not have known they ever had it and could be surprised to develop Shingles later in life. I was just explaining to someone else the other day that by the time they are elderly, over 85% of the population is infected with the Herpes Simplex that causes cold sores, but only a small percentage ever develop cold sores. The ones who do get them, when infected, hav...

Found these pills in my new apt. Was wondering what they were and why they would have been left by the previous renters. Any ideas ## Hi Kevin, Unfortunately I couldn't find an exact match to your description. The closest match being "MP 51", whereas the "M" and "P" are somewhat fused together. This pill is also white and round, and has been identified as Prednisone (5 mg). I cannot post a picture due to copyright reasons, however, if you type "pill MP 51" into google images, you'll see the pill I'm referring to. Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. It is used to treat certain inflammatory diseases and (at higher doses) cancers, but...
