Penciclovir

Penciclovir is a guanosine analogue antiviral drug used for the treatment of various herpesvirus infections. It is a nucleoside analogue which exhibits low toxicity and good selectivity. Because penciclovir is absorbed poorly when given orally (by mouth) it is more often used as a topical treatment. It is the active ingredient in the cold sore medications Denavir (NDC 0135-0315-52), Vectavir and Fenivir. Famciclovir is a prodrug of penciclovir with improved oral bioavailability.

Hi I am wondering if Methoxyflurane can be used alongside nitrous oxide simultaneously. The nitrous oxide alone often is not as effective in achieving therapeutic dosage with adults and I wondered how the two may work. What clinical ill effects would be seen if a combination as such was actually used. Thanking you, Anand ## I do not know the answer to your question, however, if you are using Nitrous Oxide, even just once, you should be aware of the possibility of Nitrous Oxide Side Effects, particularly in that they reduce Vitamin B12 levels, which can lead to severe and even deadly problems. Preventing these side effects is as easy as supplementing with Vitamin B12 before and after procedures that use nitrous oxide- something that dentists never choose to do.

I gave ofloxocin and acecloplus to my patient with dental pain and abscess but he complains increase in pain following consumption of tablets ## I find the same thing when I have infections in my mouth and I take any antibiotics. I assumed it was because its fighting the bacteria, therefore irritating it temporarily. I have no medical basis to this. I'm only sharing my experience and assumption. Also- Smoking also seemed to irritate it further when on antibiotics. So if your patient is a smoker I'd suggest not smoking for a few hours after taking the tablet.

I'm sorry, this is not a new topic, but I have to get this off my chest. I was on 600mg of Lyrica for fibro for about 2 years, give or take. Same brain damaged feeling, no short term memory, a little bit of dsylexia. Gained 60 pounds, swollen hands, feet, joints, fell out of bed about 6 times. Had a speech glitch. Sort of like stuttering but you can feel it in your brain. But, my favorite? Teeth-b-gone. Broken, rotting, something chips off everyday. Even my crowns(which I paid an arm and a leg for) and caps are popping off like popcorn. How am I dealling with this? Super Glue. Until there is nothing left to glue in anymore. I stopped the 'Medicine' cold turkey. Lots of shaking, skin crawling, shaking, hot/cold flashes, crying, wanting to actually BE nuts. And of course, no o...

My father has diabetes and he need to take Amlo Drnk 5 to reduce blood pressure, but he turns to have swollen feet. What should he do? Which medicine can he use instead of this medicine. ## This contains the active ingredient Amlodipine, which is a calcium channel blocker and it can cause this type of peripheral edema as a side effect in some people that take it. Learn more Amlodipine details here. As to what he can replace it with, or what he can use to treat the edema, I am not sure what's available for you. How severe is the edema? Has he consulted his doctor to see what they suggest that he do?

Last Saturday I went to the dentist and for five teeth removed which required for me to have stitches I have been in server pain the dentist only have me 12 tabs of 7.5 /325 mg of endocet in that just don't work long so I just took 30 mg of morphine will that help with my pain also is 30 mg a high dose ## @Kyanna, Sorry to hear about the severe tooth pain. I can't imagine how you might be feeling after having five teeth removed in one sitting. One thing that puzzles me though is the last part of your post where you had mentioned having just taken a 30mg Morphine tablet. The question that follows is asking "will that help my pain?" - Well... seeing as you already took the pill before typing this post, shouldn't you be able to determine if it's helping or not? I do...

DESPERATELY SEEKING PAIN MANAGEMENT DR/CLINIC THAT IS WILLING TO CONTINUE MY TREATMENT FOR ARTHRITIC KNEES WITH MORPHINE. My PCP says I must find a clinic; all the clinics I call say I have to get it through my PCP. Both knees need reconstruction; plan always was to wean off the morphine after both knees were done and I was in rehab. PLEASE, any doctors and/or clinics willing to help, contact me!! ~ Thank You! ## Find a Pain Management Clinic and ask your pcp for a referral. If you're asking them if they will continue meds or prescribe certain meds, you have very little chance of finding one like that. You may have to go to several different ones before you find one that is right for you. ## Doctor Fine in Littleton will help you with your Morphine needs .But you will have to make h...

I've been on Prolea for 1 month after multiple fractures of vertebrae . I've had a lot of dental problems since having my first shot... Increased cavities, one root canal and another one coming up tomorrow and a possible 3rd... My jaw pain gets almost unbearable, never had any of this before... I wish there would be a way to reverse that shot! there has to be something else to help my bones get stronger... ## Prolea, and most other osteoporosis treatments are known to possibly cause dental issues as side effects, along with joint aches, it could also make it slower for you to heal, after having dental work done, so please make sure your dentist is aware that you have been given Prolia. Yes, there are other options, but as I've already stated, they all carry the risk of causi...

I received a refill on my children's Fluoride tablets and received IC Ethedent. Is this another name for Fluoride? Does it differ from Fluoride? The very small tablet (or may be considered a pill)is light pink and has ETH imprinted on one side and 434 on the other. Thanks for any info. ## This is a chewable, cherry flavored tablet containing 1.0mgs of Fluoride, so yes, it is the same thing, just from a generic manufacturer. ## My son took Ethedent when he was 3 yrs old, now he is 6, and his permanent teeth are growing in. They have white spots on them, and the dentist told me this is a result of too much flouride when he was 2 or 3. I was wondering if your child is having the same sideaffects. of course this drug was discontinued shortly after he took the tablets.

Update--my doctor prescribed azithromycin for my dental exam this month. Everything was fine and happy that I don't have to take amoxycillin since it made me sick. ## Glad your doctor prescribed something that worked better for you. There are actually some findings that show it isn't always necessary to take an antibiotic before a dental procedure, for some conditions. Are there any questions or comments?
