Found it on Fort Dodge/Wyeth webside. It is Torbutrol, for dogs for coughing. ## exactly what is torbutral is it a cough suppressant for dogs ?? And what it torb/val syrup is it valium and torbutal ????? ## VAL syrup is a liquid vitamin & liver fraction compound - similiar to Nutri-Ved. It is NOT valium. ## @d kukula, Torbutrol is a brand name for Butorphanol tartrate; in veterinary use, Butorphanol is a narcotic pain reliever that also helps to relieve coughs in dogs. It is also widely most used as a sedative and analgesic in dogs, cats and horses. Veterinary trade names include Butorphic, Dolorex, Morphasol, Torbugesic, and Torbutrol.

round, white tablet FD on one side 552 on the other side. ## white round tablet, FD on one side, 552 on the other ## Did you ever find out what the pill is? I found the same one in my dog's medicine container! What is it? ## It's EtoGesic, an NSAID painkiller for dogs over 11 lbs ## Etogesic contains the active ingredient Etodolac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything I can help with?

FYI, see: fda.gov / Drugs / DrugSafety / PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsandProviders / ucm322161.htm?source=govdelivery They also have a Q&A on what this means: fda.gov / Drugs / DrugSafety / PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsandProviders / ucm322160.htm?source=govdelivery ## For anyone looking for information on this, it is referring to the product from one specific manufacturer, not all generics that are on the market. The one they have found to not be equivalent is the one manufactured by Teva and marketed by Impax. Thank you, LadyluckVA for posting the information, it is much appreciated. I just wanted to clarify so that people taking tablets made by a different company don't panic thinking they have a problem. :-) The ones under concern are sold under the...

Is it FDA approved? My prescription plan stopped paying and the reason was it was not FDA approved at that time. Since I stopped taking Metanx my circulation is not that good and I want to restart. ## Spoke to FDA approval is not required as Metanx falls under a food supplement. It is not a drug it's a combination of vitamins and folic acid. It is monitored but it does require a prescription. ## That is correct, Metanx is considered a medical food, not a drug, so it is registered with the FDA, but not approved by them. It is basically a nutritional supplement that is formulated to help meet the nutritional needs of people with diabetic nerve damage. Given the expense, if they are no longer covering it for you, it might be best to ask your doctor about trying other alternatives, if t...

Has the FDA approved Arthrease Injections in the United States. These injections are for knee arthritis and so forth. Please inform me as soon as possible. ## No, the product under the name Arthrease is, so far, only available in Israel. It contains Hyaluronic Acid, a form of Hyaluronan and studies have not shown it to be any more effective at treating arthritis of the knee that a placebo. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions?

Ive been on Yaz for two years and hae suffered some awful side effects, heres a link that helped me out alot and gave me some great info: "(December 8, 2011) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will ask outside experts on Thursday about Yaz and several other birth control pills that contain a man-made hormone called drospirenone, which was heavily marketed as carrying fewer side effects than the earlier drugs. But over the last two years, several large, independent studies suggest the rate of blood clots with drugs with the hormone is slightly higher than with other drugs. Most recent analysis by the FDA looked at medical records of 800,000 US women and found that the risk of a blood clot with drospirenone-containing pills was higher than other hormone-based contraceptives. The o...

In an announcement on August 31 (2016), the FDA declared that they are adding Boxed Warnings to the drug labeling of prescription opioid and benzodiazepene medications. They are urging health care professionals to limit combining such drugs to cases where alternative treatments are not adequate. For cases when taking both types of medications is deemed necessary, doctors are urged to limit the dosages and duration of each drug to the minimum possible for the desired effect. After conducting and reviewing several studies, the FDA has found serious risks in combining central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Namely, a high instance of slowed or difficulty breathing (and even deaths) when opioids and benzodiazepenes are taken together. This warning also applies to patients taking opioid co...

I was prescribed Tedral as a child. Hated it because I always went to sleep. Really would love to take it now. Inhalers don't work. S pens too much time on nebulizer treatment after treatment. Preventive medication the same. I used to try one after the other and for some reason when I take these preventive meds I gain weight. I had asthma from as age 3 to 12. I remember oxygen tents. Now you take a treatment and it may be hours before I have relief. That means the preventive meds don't work. I am 62 now and I am tired. I don't have COPD, just asthma, and it's back as violently now as when I was a child. Difference is nebulizers take a long time to work and keep me up. Ans symb, adva, etc don't work. How do we get the drug administration allow Tedral back on market? T...

I just called my pharmacy to renew my Limbrel prescription, only to find out that the FDA has ordered US companies to cease distribution and immediately initiate a recall. What am I going to do now? I have been on Limbrel for 6 years to manage my osteoarthritis pain. Before that, I wore braces on my back, knees, ankles, arms and took an overabundance of NSAID's - and it really didn't relieve any pain. I was unable to enjoy any quality to my life. With Limbrel, I am able to work and have an active social/family life. Now I'm facing that old life again and I'm just wondering what I am going to do? Does anyone know what I can take or do? ## Apparently, the FDA has asked Primus Pharmaceuticals because of liver injury and lung infections due to the use of the drug. Maybe your...

In the past three days my 70 year old mother has showed mildly increasing signs of paranoia. This was only after having her Risperdal medication reduced three weeks ago per FDA law for nursing home patients. How is this FDA law in her best interest? ## I've never heard of such a law, normally the FDA does not mess with what the doctor's decide is the best dosing and treatment. I find myself having to ask, have they shown you proof of this being a law? I can't see as how this would be in any patients best interest, whatsoever, especially not at her age. ## my son was given 1125mg of diwa every day and he developed hissing sounds in is ears the doctor reduced the dose 750mg a day and soltus 200mg a day will this again triger ocm and panic attacks

I've been hearing about FDA rules or a scale of effectiveness of opiates. Does anyone have information on what this scale is and what effects this has on the customer managing their pain levels? ## @Susie, I may be wrong, but it sounds to me like you might be referring to an "equianalgesic (or opioid) chart", which you can find online with a simple google search. Basically all it is a reference that compares things like potency, efficacy, duration of effects, half-life, etc, from one opioid/opiate to another. You can view an example of a chart here: healthcare.uiowa.edu/familymedicine/fpinfo/Docs/adultopioidrefguide.htm I think the implications behind knowing how these medications compare to each other is the most helpful aspect in and of itself. This way pain patients can b...

The FDA sued Pfizer for $2.3 Billion. "The largest civil fraud settlement in history against a pharmaceutical company. The federal share of the civil settlement is $668,514,830 and the state Medicaid share of the civil settlement is $331,485,170.

On August 6th, 2018 the FDA released an article drafting the endpoints for demonstrating the effectiveness of drugs for opioid-assisted treatment, more or less, as a form of guidance for the medical industry at large. Ref: fda.gov/downloads/.../UCM615743.pdf The letter begins by stating that it's being distributed for comment purposes only and that any comments or suggestions regarding this draft should be submitted within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register of the notice. The publication date is scheduled for 8/7/2018. I share this information in a timely manner so that chronic pain patients and others facing related challenges can take action by voicing their thoughts, concerns and opinions before the end date (10/7/2018) - 60 days from 8/7/2018.
