Is it OK or I should stop taking medication and check fo a month? ## I HAD SUGAR LAVEL 150 (FASTING) 230 POST MEAL TAKING RACLIMATE 80 MG DAILY 1 BEFORE MEAL ALONG WITH OPTIDULIN PL ADVICE ## Deepak, it would be best to follow your doctor's instructions and just reduce the dosage by half for awhile and then see how your sugar levels are.

How many 8mg/2mg suboxone does a person take in a day? ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? You should always follow your doctor's dosing instructions. The right amount can vary from person to person, depending on the drug they were abusing and how much of it they were taking. The highest recommended dosage is 32/8mgs daily.

My Rheumatologist says that it is unnecessary to withdraw from Oxazepam 15mg. (see above Topic for dosage) and merely substitute with a lesser dosage of Difucan (10mg. @ 4-6 hours daily) as they are "the same drug"! I have been taking this Oxazepam dosage for 25 years+. Now I am following his instructions and having major withdrawal miserable symptoms. Any suggestions? ## There is no medication called Difucan, the closest is Diflucan and, if that's what you have, then I don't think you're taking the right medication, because it is an antifungal medication. Learn more Diflucan details here. I think you may want to double check everything, because the medication she intended to prescribe for you may have been Diazepam, which would be an equivalent medication. Learn mor...

Hello, I was tentatively diagnosed 6 weeks ago with partial simple seizures ( a weird feeling in abdomen that 'whooshes' it's way up to my head) and put on 1000 Keppra daily (500 twice a day.) Dr upped dose to 1500 daily. My question- can I take a 500 pill every 8 hours (6am-2pm-10pm) instead of 750 every 12 hours? The larger dose wipes me out. (Tried to condense and keep this short) Thanks for any help!! ## Hello, Ibis! How are you? You should follow your doctor's instructions for the amount to take and how often you should take it. The side effects, such as it making you feel wiped out, will only last about 3 weeks. You'll likely hit a couple of days, right around the 21 day mark, where it'll seem to get really bad, then things will start to improve. It is the ...

is there a safer alternative other than sotalol? i've been diagnosed with a-fib. I'm taking sotalol 80mg tablets teva. ## Sotalol is a drug used in individuals with rhythm disturbances (cardiac arrhythmias) of the heart, and to treat hypertension in some individuals. If I were to suggest some other alternative means of treatment, it would likely be more in line with a natural approach, including but not limited to the following: -eating a diet that is rich in fresh raw fruits and vegetables (juicing them is an excellent way to take in more than you'd typically eat in a sitting) -light physical exercise daily (yoga, stretching, rebounding, power walking, swimming, etc) - meditation (it has been proven that people who meditate often can eventually control their heart rate with...

What is the correct daily dosage for severe arthritis? The E/R physician initially prescribed one or two tablets every 4 to six hours. My regular physician has changed the dosage to one tablet every four hours, but she did not specify the maximum number of tablets that could be taken in a 24 hour period. I really would appreciate having your guidance on this matter, as neither physician is 'reachable' at present. ## Hello, Bud! How are you doing? Sorry about the arthritis pain. And yes, your doctor did specify. One tablet every 4 hours means exactly that, she doesn't want you to take multiples and you should follow her prescribing instructions. The Acetaminophen in this risks liver damage or failure if taken in high amounts for a long period of time, thus it isn't safe t...
