Can i take Nyqil Severe Cold and Flu with CTM 4mg tablet ## Hello, Esther! How are you? You likely shouldn't mix them, since the Nyquil also contains an antihistamine, you'd basically be doubling up on it and that could result in overdose. The Nyquil contains Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Doxylamine and Phenylephrine, so it really contains all you need, if your doctor approves of you taking it. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, nervousness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking this 3 medicines - bendroflumethiazide 5mg, spironolactone 25mg, and irbesartan 300mg. For over 10yrs I am having shoulder pain, leg pains but my GP says it is arthritis. I really worry that it imay these medication's causing me this problem. Especially IRBESARTAN. What do think? ## Hello, Earnie! How are you? It could be due to the Irbesartan or the Spironolactone, the latter especially if you're becoming dehydrated. How much fluid do you take in each day?

I went back and she put me on benzonatate for a cough OK my question is I think I'm trying to catch a cold, is it safe to take night time cold and flu med. With the other meds I'm taking? ## Hello, Patricia! How are you? It depends which medication you want to take, not all of them contain the same ingredients. For instance, many of them use Diphenhydramine in the night time ones, which could be too sedating if taken with the other medications. Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects. Benzonatate may cause side effects, such as constipation, diz...

What is the difference between nuzak and fluoxetine . Would there be any different results in taking either nuzak or lilly fluoxetine. ## Hello, Gman! How are you? No, there is no difference, Nuzak is the brand name for a medication that has Fluoxetine as its active ingredient. They just call the generics by the name of the active ingredient, rather than a name brand, to keep the prices lower. This is an SSRI antidepressant and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother had congested heart failure and kidney failure 2 mo ago her kidneys are fine but she has a weak heart and lost all her appetite I need to show her Dr what are the ingredients of Megestrol AC to see if she can take this.He need to make sure it does not have steroids. Can you help me ? ## Megestrol Acetate is a steroidal progestin and progesterone derivative and, due to some of the side effects it can cause, it is probably not safe for her to use, because of the congestive heart failure. One of its side effects can be fluid retention, which is what actually caused CHF. Learn more Megestrol AC details here. Has he tried anything else to stimulate her appetite?

Has anybody successfully weaned themselves off of thyroid medication by compensating through diet? ## Hello, Maria! How are you? Yes, some people have, though it is a pretty touchy situation to deal with, according to the NIH, because the way you eat and exercise may need to be changed up, or down, at any given time, depending on what your thyroid hormone levels test at. Many people just don't like having to deal with the regular fluctuations, one month the levels may be high, so they have to adjust to lower them, then the next time, they may be too low, so they have adjust, again. It can be a huge burden... but I do have to say, given that you will no longer be dealing with medication side effects, it might be worth it. Is there anything else I can help with?

Such problems may include: weight gain, fluid retention, compromised immunity, eleva...

Can I work in the sun for long periods taken doxycycl hyc 100 mg mutual twice a days ## Hi, Neal! Doxycycline can make you more sensitive to the effects of the sun and heat, so you may burn, dehydrate or develop heat stroke much faster than usual. While it would be preferable to stay out of the sun for the duration of treatment, I realize it's not always practical to do so, since some jobs leave you with no choice, so the next best thing to do would be to use a much stronger sunscreen than usual and apply it more often, plus make sure to take in extra fluids, if it's safe for you to do so, to prevent dehydration.

On Carvedilol and was on Amlodipine for years. Blood pressure was increasing lately, so Dr changed Amlodipine to 10 mg. This caused flushing in face, ankles swelling, etc. Then took off Amlodipine completely and added Lisinopril. Have backache, nervousness, darkened urine, and dizzy on this. What is the safest blood pressure medicine to use? I’m sensitive to most medications... ## All blood pressure medication has side effects. What works for me may not work for you. There are so many of these meds it's really hit and miss till you find the right meds. I've been on about 8 different ones over the past 7 years and each of them has good and bad. Lisinopril I was on for 4 years, worked ok...good luck. ## Carl is correct, there is really no "safe" medication, they all ...
