after taking chantix for the first month a delay in my prescription refill caused me to not have chantix for 3 days. At what dosage should I resume taking it? ## Hi Buck, According to the Chantix site, If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember.

can anybody tell me if they are prescribed more than 250mg per day for nuvigil. I take a 250 mg tablet at 8 a.m. and feel like I need another by 2:00 in the afternoon......my day does not end until around 8:oopm --- I gotta be alert, alive and active till then. I was taking Dexedrine for this "breakthrough" period, but that can not be had anywhere!...it's missing on the market, nobody (pharmacies) can get it anymore. Nuvigil has been a miracle med for me, as many of my other psych meds cause extreme fatigue, pdoc prescribed this.....miraculous, not to mention helping me lift out of a two year depression....between this med (nuvigil) and Latuda---my life has finally changed....just trying to work out the kinks.

Hi I would like some feedback regarding xeomin dilution rates and dose rates for cosmetic purposes. I had training in botox and use dysport for blephrospasms. However I would like to use Xeomin without an insulin syringe. I prefer the standard syringe and needle. thank you. Scotland

how often do you take them and how many pills per day? ## Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. And the dosage really depends on the condition being treated and its severity. For mild conditions, such as heartburn, a doctor will usually advise one daily, just before a meal. However, for more severe conditions, a person may require a higher dosage and a doctor will sometimes split it up into 2 daily doses. What has your doctor advised? ## Actually i am having omepraz d capsules for stomach pain i would ask you is there any other substitute for this

I just got on Lyrica 50mg twice a day and my pain has pretty much dissapeared. I have been reading alot of really bad stories about it, but everyone seems to be taking much higher doses than i am, i was wondering if anyone knows if i stay on a low dose if i will have these horrible side effects i have read about ## Actually, the worse of the side effects should be experienced during the first month of us, they start to taper off and get less severe after that, except for in some rare cases. If you haven't had any really bad ones, so far, then you are probably doing okay with it and might only experience them if you have to increase your dosage. Also remember that medications affect different people in different ways, so you may never experience some of the problems that other people...

uses & doses of rinifol cap & syr ## What are the side-effects of Rinifol capsules manufactured by Elan Pharma (India) Pvt Ltd.? When is it prescribed? ## Rinifol is just a nutritional supplement that contains a variety of vitamins that are essential to your overall health. Thus, it doesn't necessarily have a specific treatment purpose, unless you are deficient in one of the vital nutrients it contains, but it can be beneficial to you. The only known side effect is nausea, since they can be a bit strong for some people, so you may need to take it with food. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have large subtotal perforation in left eardrum membrane. Doctor has suggested operation to replace it. Is there any other way for cure? Also Ciplox 500 and Rinifol are given a...

Can you take atelvia every other month; in other words, skip a month ## According to the medication prescribing label for Atelvia: "The optimal duration of use has not been determined. Patients should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis. The dosage and administration guidelines does not specify whether or not you can take it periodically: "Take Atelvia in the morning immediately following breakfast with at least 4 oz. of plain water. Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking Atelvia." "Take one 35 mg delayed-release tablet once a week" I would consider contacting your doctor or local pharmacy regarding your question, since this answer may depend upon the severity of your condition. Also, as stated above, patients should have the nee...

Does 1mcg of Levothyroxine make a difference? 36mcg makes my TSH=1.30 and 38mcg makes my TSH=0.9 both TSH levels look acceptable but I can't feel really well. Before I started on Levo my TSH was 4.0 Thank YouMale/40yo ## You level of 4. was still within "normal" range...I would have your level rechecked after 6 weeks or find an endro doc....Something isn't correct here.... ## Before anything, Thank you for your answer. My endo is treating me according to new normal range of 0.3 to 3.0. He es trying to get my TSH closer to 1.0. My TSH has been around 1.0 for the last month, but my question is when you are trying to find your precise dosage, does 1mcg of levothyroxine make a difference?? Thanks again ## Yes, 1mcg can make a difference, that's why this medication is ava...

I took citalopram 20mg two days in a row without being prescribed it. I learned that I can't just stop taking it whenever, so I wanted to stop now before my body becomes accustomed to it. Will I have any major problems with this? ## Hello, Phil! How are you? No, there shouldn't be any major problems after just two doses, but if you're concerned, please speak to your doctor. Celexa is an SSRI antidepressant and stopping them abruptly, after being on them for awhile, risks causing rebound anxiety and depression. Typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I just started taking the suboxone...8 mg 3 times a day. I took my first strip. I've taken all three yesterday the last one at around 7 pm. I'm wondering if I take my pill of choice, since I've barely started, will it block it? I was coming off of self medicating myself with methadone for 8 years. I hear that some people get different effects from taking the subs, but it's like taking a super ibuprofen for me. Any info on this would be helpful and I'm a big girl so I only need the facts not the lectures please and thank you. ## Hello, Hazel! How are you? The Buprenorphine in Suboxone has a much stronger hold on your opiate receptors than other narcotics, so it would prevent them from having any effect. That coupled with the Naloxone means that you'd just be wasti...

IFollowing my quadruple bypass I continued to take Oxycodone for the past 18 months. Is it ok to stop taking it or are there withdrawl dangers involved? Please note I entered my wrong email adress on my previous question.This is the correct one. ## The question here is what is the strength and how often a day are you taking Oxycodone? I am not a physician but I am in the medical field and do deal with medication on a daily basic. My advise is to talk with you physician regarding this. There is a possibility having taken this drug for 18 months, that you may experience some withdrawl. The other thing is if you are truly in severe pain (because this is the only reason you should be taking this medication). Then you probably still need it. However this drug is highly additive, and often ti...

Can you take doxycycline once a day instead of two time a day? ## If you are taking it to treat an infection, then it should be taken according to the prescribing instructions to properly eradicate the bacteria being treated. Learn more Doxycycline details here. Therefore, if your doctor prescribed it to be taken twice a day, then that's what you should do. Are you having problems taking it twice, such as odd side effects?

I was recently told of a new medication from my physician that would help with my chronic back pain.this medicine is supposed to be eqivalent to four hydrocodones.please inform me of the name of this medication so i can research it.thank u ## It sounds like Zohydro. It came out last year. It is hydrocodone extended release with no tylenol. You take one tablet every 12 hrs. ## @Edge, According to the Oxford Journal of Analytical Toxicology, Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is reported to be approximately 4 to 6 times more potent than Hydrocodone. So this sounds like it may be one suspect as well. However, I suppose if you were to take a high enough dose of Zohydro ER relative to whatever dose of Hydrocodone/APAP you're comparing it to, then you could easily end up taking 4x (or more) than th...

Hi, I am 30 yrs... I have continuous bleeding for 10 days to 15 days in my period. Dr. advised me to take Regestrone. So plz tell me the use of Regestrone..what is it doses, please...Help me out... ## Hello, Muskan! How are you? Regestrone contains the hormone progesterone, which is vital to the female menstrual cycle. In many cases of prolonged bleeding, such as what you're experiencing, it's due to the woman not ovulating and producing enough progesterone naturally, it lets the estrogen build the endometrial lining far too thickly. Thus, it would be best for you to try it according to your doctor's instructions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi.. I was having the same problem.. Bleeding for 10 days and that too very heavy. I took regestrone for 3 months from 1...

which is stronger oxycodone-acetaminophen 10-650 mg oroxycodone 15mg 1mm rel?and are these same as generics you get because if insurence? ## The 15mg immediate release contains 15mgs of Oxycodone, it is the generic for OxyIR. The other one you mentioned contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 650mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Percocet. Thus, in reference to the Oxycodone, the immediate release one is stronger, however, which one is better for you depends on what condition is being treated. If your condition involves swelling that is contributing to the pain, then the one with the Acetaminophen will be more helpful, since it can help reduce inflammation. Side effects are similar to both, since they both contain Oxycodone and may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constip...
