cigmadil clindamicina is what is written on the box of medicine we are wondering the type of medicine and the how to take it. Thank you ## I believe Clindamicina would translate to Clindamycin, which is an antibiotic - treatment can range from malaria to bacterial infection to acne. More details are available at: Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do... ## Is heartburn a common a side effect after taking Cigmadil? ## I had an infection in the U.S. and my doctor prescribed two types of antibiotics. On one, he said to take it during the day and not to lay down for 30 minutes after taking it because it caused heartburn. I followed his directions and had no problems. I had dental work done in Mexico, and the dentist prescribed Cigmadil but didn...

The new CDC guidelines are in effect, causing my pain specialist to dramatically reduce my Opana ER and prn oxymorphone from 10mgs/ER BID to 5mgs/bid and keep the IM oxymprohone at 60/10mg tabs for 60 days. My understandibg is that it can be increased to a more therapeutic level after empilirical documentation that the 60/mg morphine/day is not providing the needed relief. I need an increase now! Not a reduction!!! How long must a person sustain personal viability before getting g a therapeutic dosage!? ## Go to change.org and sign the petition to make chronic pain sufferers exempt from CDC restrictions on schedule 2 drugs. There are a few other similar petitions as well. One is for a "pain card" to allow ease in getting meds needed.

Cold medicines are a group of medications taken individually or in combination as a treatment for the symptoms of the common cold and similar conditions of the upper respiratory tract. The term encompasses a broad array of drugs, including analgesics, antihistamines and decongestants, among many others. It also includes drugs which are marketed as cough suppressants or antitussives, but their effectiveness in reducing cough symptoms is unclear or minimal.[1][2]...

Starting January 1st 2018, Cigna will no longer cover most OxyContin prescriptions in its group plan, according to CNN. Instead, they have entered a contract with Collegium Pharmaceuticals who manufactures Xtampza ER, another extended release version of Oxycodone. Their stated reasoning is because of the allegedly superior abuse deterrent properties of Xtampza ER. Mind you, the study finding that Xtampza ER was harder to abuse than OxyContin was conducted by Collegium themselves. As you might imagine, Purdue Pharma (OxyContin's manufacturer) is not happy about this at all. They seem to think that it is more about the pharmaceutical rebates for Cigna. But none of this fluff matters. What matters are all of the PATIENTS and how it may or may not affect peoples' daily lives! While ...

I've been taking clopidogrel, amlodipine and statins for years now. Over the last year or so I have developed inflammation of the duodenum, confirmed by endoscopy. The consultant wrote "duodenitis caused by clopidogrel" on his summary of findings. However, since then doctors have declined to go down the route of trying alternatives to clopidogrel, and deny it being the cause. I'm not sure why the resistance to this diagnosis? If my diet was so poor, wouldn't I be getting inflammation in other areas too? Why just the duodenum? My diet seems to have very little effect on the condition. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Are the doctors just trying to avoid expensive alternatives, or do they genuinely believe clopidogrel is not the cause? Has anyone suffered the same si...

I was prescribed recently wellbutrin xl 150. After 2 weeks and good effects such as waking up easy and alert, feeling"lifted" my psych. chose to up the dose to 300. I have been on this for 1 week my side effects arent as good example- drowsy and harder to wake up- not having that same lift as with 150. How long should I wait before I request changing back to 150? ## When raising the dosage, it is normal to experience more side effects, even if you weren't really having any before. They usually last about 4 to 6 weeks, which is the same time it usually takes for the medication to reach its full effectiveness in your body. They should reach their peak in that time frame and then start to taper off. If they don't, or if they get a lot more severe, you should definitely talk...

Lopressor 25mg I have been on Lopressor 25mg for about 6 months, prescribed by my cardiologist for irregular heart beat and palpitations. I take it right before bed with a glass of water. More nights than not I wake up many time thru the night and lately I have been having trouble falling asleep. My heart beats irregularly when I lay down but if I get up and sit in a chair all is well. I would like to change the time I take the pill from night to morning. Is it safe to skip my nighttime dose and take it the next morning instead? Thanks in advance for your help. ## Hello, Harvey! How are you? I would suggest checking with your doctor, before making a change. It sounds like this medication just isn't lasting you a full 24 hours, so something needs adjusted. Were you originally instruc...

Hi I'm opioid dependent. My boyfriend and I take at least 20 to 24 mg of dilaudids within a 24 hour period. If we miss, we get sick. We're starting methadone tomorrow and plan on quitting this dangerous addiction. Because me (not my boyfriend), I get very anxious when i feel an abnormal symptom (usually it's nothing). So my question is: I usually take an 8 mg dilaudid with my boyfriend. I am wondering if we're actually taking 4 mg each. Seems logical. And I changed my dose because I wanna get off of it on my own without having to take methadone so I started going down by sharing two 4's mg with my boyfriend. Not much of a difference but I started to wonder if we were actually reducing. Then I switched to 2 mg. first I started taking 6mg (three 2 mg) and reduced to tw...

Pill is from Mexico round white pill RGM on one side and A025 on the other side. I got it from a pharmacy in Mexico and they said it was codeine 60 mg. I can't find it nowhere on any site do I know what it is? ## Hi makayla, Based on my research, I am led to believe that it is a 60mg codeine phosphate pill manufactured by Crescent Pharmaceuticals. It's not 100% definitive yet, but their 60mg tablets are described as follows: white, round, tablet with A025 engraved on one side and the company logo on the other. I haven't actually seen an image of the pill, but I'm assuming their company logo involves RGM since some of those letters are included as a part of their company's address (Overton Basingstoke, Hampshire RG25 3ED)... the only discrepancy I'm finding is tha...

Could I give my child Scopex 10mg (1 tablet) for cramps? She is 3 years old. ## You should definitely run this by their pediatrician, but likely not. The active ingredient in this medication is Hyoscine, also known as Scopolamine. I was reading a leaflet on Scopex and it states "Due to the risk of provoking hyperpyrexia it should not be given to patients, especially children where the ambient temperature is high." It also says "Use with caution in children, geriatric patients, patients with diarrhoea, fever, and in conditions characterised by tachycardia". Source ## Hello, Lee! How is your daughter? Please do not give her any medication without her doctor's approval. It is very, very easy to overdose a child to the point of fatal toxicity. Additionally, there are man...

I am a RSD patient that felt fortunate I only took 3 1/2 years to be diagnosed. For the last 8 years , in East Tn,I have been taking oxycontin and oxycodone, now some new law is passed and I can no longer get my Rx from my pain Dr, because they don't have the license required to be able to write Rx as large as my past (which I have become very use to & are working less than in pass) so I am sent to a clinic with this license.

I have BiPolar as well as epilepsy. I been using Lamictin (250Mg) since 2003. I have change to Epitec (250Mg)a month ago. First thing I want to tell people, go and let a medical practioner check your lamictin level. It should be between 4 and 12. So you can know how much to use. I also used Epanuitin (300Mg) before Lamictin. It gave me bumps in my fore arms thats why I change to Lamictin. Lamictin did not give me headaches but I got disorientated from time to time. Lamictin also are very influeinced by alcohol while it seems epitec are more tollerant. However I prefer Lamictin, the side effects are more acceptable. Anger cost at the end more. Losing friends and family. I do not drink alcohol, but some one that does will have more problems with Lamictin than Epictec. Lastly. If you feel dro

How many of the 500 mg should be taken a day? ## Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections, but the dosage is usually decided according to the type of infection being treated and its severity. You can learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Thus, there's no one pat answer that can be given. More details need to be known. You also shouldn't try to self-diagnose and self-treat, as taking an antibiotic, when you don't actually have an infection could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. Are there any other comments or questions?

Are you having a hard time feeling good about yourself? Do you experience a loss of interest and enjoyment in life and have a tendency to isolate yourself? Is it hard for you to focus or concentrate on a task or an activity? Do you have feelings of guilt and unworthiness? How about having a hard time sleeping or the opposite, are you sleeping much but still feeling tired? Do you find yourself over eating or under eating? Do you have minimal energy or sexual drive? Do you have difficulty making decisions because you often feel a sense of helplessness, and hopelessness about your life and your future in general? Do you think about hurting yourself? If you've answered yes to most of the questions above, then you are probably suffering from depression. But don't be alarmed! You are ...
