My mother is taking pause-mf for heavy bleeding. Her doc suggested that she take it twice a day when her menses starts and continue it for 5 days... but is it really necessary to take it for 5 days? I mean if the bleeding stops in 2 or 3 days, shouldn't she stop taking it? ## Pause-MF contains Tranexamic Acid and Mefenamic Acid and it is most commonly used to help control bleeding. And she should take it for the amount of time suggested by her doctor, so it reaches its full efficacy in the body. But you might want to double check with her doctor to be certain.

Hi, my son is 8 yrs old and he had a seizure attack 2 times (in Jan 2015 and Nov 2016) and he is taking Levipil 500 mg, but before his second attack he had taken 250 mg, then the doctor increased it to 500mg. Could you please tell me how long this medicine should be taken for or when it should be stopped? It's been almost 2 years so far. ## If he has epilepsy, he may need to take this medication, or another one for the rest of his life to help prevent dangerous seizures. There is nothing wrong with it, so he should take it, as long as his doctor deems it safe for him to do so. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight gain. Is he on any other medications?

My blood pressure is now 120/75. Should I continue taking the Tellzy ch 80mg? How will I know when it's time to stop treatment? ## Hi, Sultana! How are you? Yes, you should continue with your medication as long as your doctor instructs you to keep taking it. If it is the only thing that has lowered your blood pressure, it could start to go up again if you stop taking it. Additionally, if you stop taking it suddenly, rather than tapering it gradually, you could suffer a rebound effect which could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go up to dangerous levels. ## My doctor prescribed me Tellzy-ch 80, but it is very costly to buy. Can you recommend any alternative low price tablet?

Hello, I've been taking Topiramate/Topamax for about 14 years. When is 'too long' as far as stopping the medication? I feel as though I have so much of the drug in my body already that it may need a break. ## Hello, Vicki! How are you? That's not actually how it works, your body doesn't keep storing more and more of the medication, that's why you have to take regular doses. Our bodies process stuff out, after a certain period of time. As to how long is too long, that is entirely up to your and your doctor. Only the two of you can decide how long you should continue taking it. Have you discussed your concerns with them? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, clumsiness, drowsiness, red eyes and memory problems. ## T...

Hi. My doctor prescribed me a one-month course of clindamycin 150mg for a tooth infection and I took it for 10 days. My pain went away. Is it okay if I stop taking the med or do I have to finish the course? ## Hello, Ling! How are you? You should always finish the full course of treatment, as direct by your doctor, unless they instruct otherwise. Stopping early creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can't find Viractin in store disconnitued or meet a prescription? ## I am sorry, but Viractin has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It contained the active ingredient Tetracaine, which was a topical anesthetic, so it really did nothing to shorten the duration of a cold sore, though the moisturizing effects of it could help keep them from drying out and cracking and bleeding. You may want to try a different over the counter product, such as Abreva, which contains Docosanol, it is an antiviral, which can shorten the duration of a cold sore, since they are caused by a virus. Have you consulted your doctor, to see what they'd advise you to use as an alternative? ## I have been using Viractin for this past week and I am now out.
