Dose Age

Hi, I have steroid tablets for my 9 yr old daughter who weighs 4.7 stone and I can't remember how many to give her. ## Hello, Donna! How are you? At her age, it would really be best to check with her doctor. The dosage can vary, depending on her overall health and the condition being treated, plus the doctor may want you to taper them to prevent withdrawal complications. Learn more Prednisolone details here. This is a steroid class medication, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fluid retention and acne. Why were they prescribed?

I took 2 doses of all my meds by mistake. I am on 25 mg atenolol ,40 mg lisinopril, 10mg amlodipine besylate, 75 mg sertaline. And 1 81mg aspirin, I am a 75 yr old man. Should I be very concerned ## Hello, Jim! How are you feeling? Did you suffer any adverse effects? Doubling up on the blood pressure/cardiac medications could result in dangerously lowered blood pressure and heart rate, which may require medical attention, especially at your age, since it could cause you to be more sensitive to the effects of medications. For future reference for anyone, if you've done something like this and fear for your health or life, please seek medical attention or contact poison control immediately. While there are those of us online that are always happy to help, if we can, we are unable to a...

I just got my brothers autopsy report back and it says he died from overdose of Fentanyl and Methone . It says no alcohol. Methone amount was.05 fentanyl was .19 is that enough for someone to die? ## I am so very sorry for your loss. There's no specific range that can be given to answer your question. It depends on the person, their age, weight, overall health and their tolerance to narcotics. Some people can take quite a lot and not have a problem, while other may overdose at much lower doses. The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic opiates, so there is a risk of them being habit forming and abused. Their typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Did he have any medical conditions?

Amprenavir

Amprenavir (original brand name Agenerase, GlaxoSmithKline) is a protease inhibitor used to treat HIV infection. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on April 15, 1999, for twice-a-day dosing instead of needing to be taken every eight hours. The convenient dosing came at a price, as the dose required is 1,200mg, delivered in 8 (eight) very large 150 mg gel capsules or 24 (twenty-four) 50 mg gel capsules twice daily.[1] It was patented in 1992 and approved for me...

My usual dose of tikosyn is 3 0.125 capsules every 12 hours. By mistake I took 5 capsules instead of three. What should I do? ## @cnf, If this had happened to me I probably would've called my doctor and the American Association of Poison Control Centers, who can be reached 24/7 at: 1 (800) 222-1222. This extra step may not be necessary depending on your body's response/tolerance to the drug, but I'd prefer to be on the safe side when it comes to an overdose on any prescription drug, especially an anti-arrhythmic agent like this that works directly on the heart. I hope everything turned out to be fine since you last posted here.

My wife was done tubligation in 2009 after delivering twins, but in july 2011after loosing one of the twin daughters, she started getting irregular, heavy and clotted menstrual periods. She visited a Dr. In 2011 who gave her an emergency prescription of sylate + onother drug that we cannot recall by now, the bleeding stoped, but it has resumed after 2years now but as per my observation, this probkem seems to occur when she is stressed. Kindly advise. Regards ## Hi, Tallman! Sorry about the issues that your wife is having and for the loss of your child. And it makes sense that it may recur, whenever she is stressed, the irregular cycles, with heavy bleeding and clotting are usually caused by a lack of progesterone, which can happen as she ages and may not ovulate each month.

Compared to adderall 90mg a day what is a comparable dose? I need this for my uninformed Doctor. ## Finding a comparable dose with any two medications would likely involve at least some degree of trial and error in order to make an informed decision. A "comparable" dose is also subject to one's opinion and not necessarily evidence-based factors, due to the fact that these medications are not created equally. Individual body chemistry, tolerance, metabolism, age, weight, etc, can all influence this opinion as well. Zenzedi reportedly contains dextroamphetamine sulfate, whilst Adderall contains amphetamine + dextroamphetamine (Mixed Salts). Not to mention the different sets of binders and fillers that may affect bioavailability. With this in mind, maybe it would be best to see...

8 weeks ago my mom was given 10mg citalopram for anxiety. she did not feel any side effect in the first week but afterwards starting having insomnia, upset stomach, tremor, agitation, etc. The psychiatrist increased teh dose to 20 mg daily but this did not solve anything. Today, in the 8th week she could not sleep at all in the night (she felt fresh when going sleeping even she was working the whole day) and in the morning she is feeling needles in the whole body, she is shaking + many other bad feelings. Can be that the dose is too high for her age (74 years old)?. I am afraid not to be the symptoms of a high level of serotonin. ## Those can all be side effects of Celexa. Insomnia is a classic side effect, though some people get sleepy from SSRI's. Seems to depend on the person. Th...

My son is 12 1/2 and weighs 105 pounds i was wondering what the top dose of Ritalin should be for him. His behavior is getting worse daily and I was wondering if his dose needed to be adjusted and if so what not to go past ## Sorry I can't help with dosage information except that, from my experience, i strongly recommend the Extended Release version (e.g., SR/Timed-release) which I think would help prevent addiction and/or continually increasing dosages as your child ages and gets bigger. I worry about this for kids because, in my experience, Ritalin is quite addictive (more so than Cylert was which was discontinued). However, doctors aren't necessarily going to keep your child on it. Taking one drug a day as opposed to 3-4 is much less habit forming. Whatever dosage, please try...

Please let me inform about the dosage and indication of the potassium citrate tablet. ## There are actually several doses available, so I can't tell you which one you have on such limited information.
