wheather darolac to be used before food or after food ## Darolac and linezolid, before or after food please? ## which tablet i have to take glycephase sr 500mg or glimy m2 after or before meals please tell me ## This is a probiotic, so you can take it, when it is convenient for you, be that before a meal, or after one. I can cause nausea, and diarrhea in some people that take it, according to NIH warnings, so you may do better taking it before a meal, it really depends on what works for you. Deepak, diabetes medications are best taken just before a meal, so they have a chance to start working by the time your body is digesting your food and you will experience the most blood sugar fluctuations. The NIH lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, s...

Would taking Linzess on an empty stomach 30 before be just as effective? I have an hour drive to work and then approx. 1/4 to 3/4 of a mile before I get to my work station.....and there are no restroom on the walk in. I usually straving firsting thing in the morning so waiting until before lunch would work out so much better for me. ## I would also like to know that. I can't always take it first thing either.

Other side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA may possibly include dizziness, headache, stuffy nose and joint/muscle aches. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long does it take for lortabs to expire?And can u still take them? ## Once they have been dispensed to you, in a pharmacy container that means they are exposed to the elements, they are good for one year from that date. Learn more Lortab details here. They don't get dangerous once they are past the expiration date, but they do degrade with time, so they will gradually lose effectiveness. Thus, it's best to dispose of them once they've expired and get a new prescription. Are there any other questions?

I want to get a very small tattoo on the back of my neck. I'm supposed to be starting my Accutane on Friday. I know you're not supposed to get tattoos whilst taking Accutane because it can affect the healing process but if I get the tattoo and start my Accutane a week later when the tattoo has healed, do you think this would be a problem? ## It would be best to double check with your doctor, as it may require a longer time period, or might not be advisable, at all. Accutane has been known to cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, elevated levels of fats in the blood, and birth defects if a woman becomes pregnant while taking it. Are you on any other medications?

i was wondering when it will start working? i took it before dinner ## Hello, Kayla! How are you? Unfortunately, many people aren't receiving the correct instructions on how to take this medication. It must be taken in the morning, at least half an hour before eating or taking any other medications. Thus, this first dose may not work as it should. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, bloating and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took a 70mg vyvanse a day before my hernia repair surgery at 12 pm will I be OK for surgery at 1 pm the following day ## When you make an appointment to go into surgery you're supposed to inform the surgeon of any medications you are taking or planning on taking during the procedure. This is especially important if you want to avoid possible interactions with anesthetics or other strong medications. On that note, only your surgeon can rightfully tell you if it's actually OK to take something since they all follow different protocols. Accidents can happen when they don't know what you're taking (because it may influence what or how much of something they end up giving you as well when you're knocked out), so it can only benefit you to be proactive about asking. And ...

I have a bottle of alprazolam from 2005 and I'm wondering if it's still good? It's 4 years old at the time of writing this. ## The shelf life of Alprazolam should be located on the packaging of the drug. If not, then chances are that the medication is no longer good based on how many years it has been sitting there; however I am not an MD, so I cannot say for sure what may or may not be safe for you to consume. I would urge you to contact your doctor or local physician to assess if the quality of the drug still remains. If you are interested in viewing more information regarding Alprazolam, then please follow the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back so I can further assist you. ## If the Xanax (Alprazolam) was kept in a cool dry location...

I've been taking 2-4 norco 5-325 almost daily for about 3 months. I have large cysts on my ovaries along with endometriosis and adanonmyosis. I'm in pain about 3 weeks out of the month. I'm having surgery on Thursday the 11th to remove the cysts and one ovary and burning the endometriosis tissue. I ran out of pills a few days ago and of course my doctor is on vacation and not responding. My friend has hydromorphone left over from a old surgery/ injury but what I've read says not to take it before surgery. I'm having some withdrawal symptoms and I'm worried the withdrawal will affect the surgery but I'm worried about taking themy before surgery also. I'm in a lot of pain and plain tylenol is not helping. ## I think in this unique situation it would probabl...

Hello, I am having a lumbar puncture to measure CSF pressure in a week. I have been prescribed low-dose percoset (1/2 of 7.5/325 per day) to help with the pain and pressure until the lumbar puncture. I was told not to take any blood-thinning medications until the procedure. Can I still take the percoset? Or will it thin the blood as well? ## From what I could gather Percocet has two components; Oxycodone + Acetaminophen, and neither are blood thinners. So you should be fine taking it prior to your surgery. Learn More: Acetaminophen + Oxycodone Details If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

My doctor told me that i get two different pylo bacteria kits. He told me to take pylo-kit. I have started taking it but today is the third day and I'm still suffering. I feel the bacterial reaction in my stomach. I am confused and don't know what to do? Please advise me.

Having surgery and I need to know if any of the following have blood thinners in them: sertraline, omeprazole, benazepril, atorvastatin, or hydrochlorothiazide? ## Hi Ron, Just for your information: - Sertraline is an antidepressant - Omeprazole is for acid reflux / heart burn - Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension - Atorvastatin is used to lower cholesterol - Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic Of the meds that are mentioned above, none are classified as anticoagulants - HOWEVER - Benazepril reportedly works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. So this is something I would encourage you to discuss with your surgeon ahead of time - just to be on the safe side. I hope this helps!

how to take gemer2 before or after meals ## Hello, Jose! How are you? Unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, these medications are normally taken just before a meal, that way they have time to start working, by the time you are digesting your food and will experience the most blood sugar fluctuations. Are you also watching what you eat?
