Aske Me Medicine

My father is 87 years old has diabetes type 1 but well controlled. He is also bedridden because his thigh bone got fracture and joined with metal support 2 years ago. He eats less amount so we treat him with some cakes or fresh fruit juice which are not very sweet. But he could not eat well since 4 days ago after he relieved from sickness. He is very weak and bp is 136/65. Blood sugar in fasting is around 200. We live far from the city and rare to see doctors. The nurse from our town asked the doctor for this case and he gave cypro 2 tablets. My father could not sleep well also. Is it ok if he takes this medicine and I also want to know the dosage. Thank you very much. ## I am having problems with my sleep cycle. Although I'm very sleepy I can't get a good night's sleep. I...

Is it Levothyroxine 50 mcg tablet an oblong white pill with a 50 on one side and a GG 332 on the other side? Thanks a lot for your time... ## Hi, CN! Yes, you have received the correct medication. It may be different from the tablet you previously received from your pharmacy due to the fact that there is currently a shortage of this medication. The reasons haven't been given, but the complete supply from one manufacturer isn't currently available. Several people have asked very similar questions. Some pharmacies have been unable to get in any generic supply, at all and have had to provide the name brand. Are there any other questions or concerns?

can Twynsta 80/10 be cut in half and taken as Twynsta 40/5 ? ## From the information I've found, it seems that the tablets should not be cut, the advisory information says they should be swallowed whole. Usually this means that the medications is either time released, or there is some special coating to help prevent damage that it may due to the linings of your gastro-intestinal system. Learn more Twynsta details here. Have you asked your pharmacist?

I was detected hypertension 2months ago.I did not have have symptoms and while checking my Blood Pressure it was detected.Lab investigations were normal exept slight raise in my Triglyceride. When I consulted my Physician in the evening he has prescribed amilodopine Tab 2.5mg. After taking the Tab the next morning I met the next Physician for 2nd opininon and to my surprise he said my B.P was normal yet asked me to continue the same. But to my surprise the BP is not controlled in spite of gradually incresing the dose to 7.5mg. Now it is around 150 to 160/85 to 90. I do regular exercises in the morning for an hour and walking in the evening.Advise. ## Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that is commonly used to help lower high blood pressure.

During the late 30's thru the 50's Drug stores sold a medication for pain that was a Red liquid called Red Aspirin. My hometown Roanoke Rapids, NC is the only place I have ever seen this medicine. I have asked other Druggist about this and they had never heard of Red Aspirin. Any ideas? This really worked for headaches. ## You might be having difficulty finding out about it, because sometimes these types of medications are purely regional. Even if it wasn't something prescribed by a doctor, but just something available in the pharmacy over the counter, such patent medications may have been specially ordered and designed by a local doctor or druggist. Back then, there weren't as many regulations and it was quite commonly done. However, when regulations started being enact...

Hello, I'm from Pakistan.I went to a urologist a few days ago for some problem, and he suggested me two tablets. 1: Thyod Plus (which he said was an American supplement. 2: Fertil-S (for blood flow in Arteries/Veins problem) There is lots of info about Fertil-S but I'm unable to find any info about "Thyod Plus" tablets. So this made me curious because med was very costly (I asked about the price from a pharmacist in that hospital). And when I was asking about the price, I saw the pack, and there was written something like "The American Supplement" on the pack. And now I don't want to use that medicine without getting any info. Is there anyone who know about this medicine? Thanks. ## There is no such supplement here in USA. I think they just gave name on it.. ...

I swallowed a little bit of it. I was rinsing when all of a sudden some if it got in my throat, and I spit it out right away. PLEASE HELP :( I'M FREAKING OUT. ## If you are afraid that your life, or the life of a loved one is in danger, you should always contact your nearest emergency services department, or poison control. That said, did you talk to your pharmacy or doctor? These products are regional and do not have the same ingredients everywhere, so I can't even say whether or not swallowing it would be harmful. Have you asked your pharmacist?

I've experienced severe leg cramps during sleep. Eating an occasional Banana stopped the problem but I don't like Bananas. So I decided to try Potassium pills. I read on Webmd that the recommened dosage for prevention of Potassium deficiency is 20 mEq, which brings me to my question. The smallest dose I can find is 99 mg. Is 99 mg per day too much ? I asked the two assistance at the local GNC where I bought them and they said 99 mg per day is fine and that the body will only absorb what it needs. This doesn't sound right to me. ## The 99mgs is actually very low. You can't convert the mEqs to mgs, but I can assure you that the 99mgs is actually very low. The 20mEq is a dosage that's only available by prescription and only given when someone has tested and shown a seve...

Can ic omeprazole cause one's blood pressure to increase dramatically? ## Omeprazole is a Proton Pump Inhibitor, used to help reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces to treat conditions such as heartburn and GERD. That said, there is nothing listed about it doing this. It is always a possiblity, though, medications do affect everyone differently, but there is no way to say for sure. Have you asked your doctor about it? ## Theoretically, it definitely could. You see, nitric oxide is a substance that the body creates and that regulates blood pressure. It can only be created in the presence of an acidic stomach. Reducing acid in the stomach definitely decreases nitric oxide production and, therefore, can increase blood pressure. See this page to see how reducing acid in the sto...
