Drug Index

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or ginger, is widely used as a spice and a folk medicine.[2] It is a herbaceous perennial which grows annual pseudostems (false stems made of the rolled bases of leaves) about one meter tall bearing narrow leaf blades. The inflorescences bear flowers having pale yellow petals with purple edges, and arise directly from the rhizome on separate shoots.[3] Ginger is in the family Zingibera...

I am 38 yrs. old and suffering from high blood pressure since last two years. I am taking Repace H since last one year one tablet per day in morning. Some friends told me that ginger is not good for High blood pressure patients, though I heard that it is good for High BP.

Does voltren have any negative effect on Trigestrel tablets. ## Hello, Ginger! How are you?

And no, they normally don't affect hormonal contraceptives. Learn more Voltaren details here. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Just curious if any one has successfuly taken klonopin by injection? I have severe nausea and i just throw up the pills. Can I i.m. the pills or i.v.? ## Hello, Ginger! How are you? No, it is not safe to do that. Pills contain fillers that are actually not meant to be broken down by the human body and trying to use them in such a manner risks creating blockages that could lead to stroke or embolism. Your doctor should be able to either prescribe something to help with the nausea, or a liquid form that would be safe to use that way. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

have been taking nerve meds for years. taking pain medication. lately waking up naseus, go to bathroom tarry stool looking for over the counter relief good rest of day drink cola, or ginger ale eat lightly but stressed. iwork in a hospital i am a patient escorter hard work please advise. ## Tarry stool could signify some serious health issues, such as internal bleeding. In this case, you really need to consult your doctor, you may have a stomach ulcer. If you are stressed, that could be a contributing factor, but only your doctor is going to be able to help you get to the root of the problem and discover any possible solutions. Are there any other questions or comments?

Is Klor-con powder 20 mEq still safe to use past the expiration date? The date today is 1/22/17 and the date on the package is 9/16. ## Hello, Ginger! How are you? For maximum efficacy, it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA warns that this medication can be very harsh on the stomach, so it should always be taken with food. Is there anything else I can help with?

That's really the only way you are going to be able to get a proper diagnosis and treatment options. Anything given from just the limited information in your post would just be guess work. What have you already tried? ## Strongly suggest you get your blood/liver tested. Hope all is well. ## Tarry stools are indicative of blood in them. You could have internal bleeding which would also cause anemia and tiredness. You need to see a doctor a.s.a.p.

joint support reduce inflammation relieve joint pain increase mobility ## Instaflex Joint Support is a supplement, so it is not actually proven to help with anything. It contains: Glucosamine, MSM, White Willow Bark, Ginger Root, Turmeric Root, Cayenne and HA. These are the same ingredients used in many supplements that claim to help with joint and other health problems and can be obtained at much cheaper prices. This company charges $69.99 a bottle. Are there any questions or comments? ## i would like to try instaflex, but I am scared that it would give me stomache problems. I am so sensitive to medicine andcertain foods. I have arthritis and fibramiolga, herniated and bulging disk spinal stenosis, all I have been taken tylenol, sometimes motrin and advill, I had prescription for corti...

I received Rivotril ( I never heard that name used for clonazepam before) today -4/14/14). The expiration date is 5/2013 and one of the pills in the blistered pack was opened. Are they safe to use? ## Dear GingerMarie, I wouldn't take them. They r expired and one is open? No way! I wouldn't take the chance. It's been almost a year that they expired. It's not safe. I would return them. ## Hi Ginger, I honestly don't think it would be a good idea to take anything that has already been opened, regardless of whether it's expired or not. If the blister packs have already been opened and/or tampered with, that should be an immediate red flag that something isn't necessarily right. But what gets me about these pharmacies, is that they usually don't let you take ...

My renewed Rx shows "Tevau". Is Tevau a place, a company name. How do I find out where the drug is MANUFACTURED?? The diltiazem capsule looks entirely different from the generic I have been taking. ## Hi Ginger, I think you may be referring to Teva Pharmaceuticals (possibly a misspelling of Teva). They are a drug company and they do manufacturer Diltiazem: tapi.com/Public/Product-List/Pages/Diltiazem_hcl.aspx I would consider contacting them directly if you have any concerns about their product, but hopefully this helps to answer your question about who the manufacturer is. ## Tevau is the way pharmacies spell it on their bottles, not Teva! My mother's HCTZ bottle has Tevau. ## I was using the manufacture Act and now they switched me to Tevau and I have been dizzy for 2 days

Has anyone heard of this diet pill or used it - was it any good? ## Phenphenidrine is a supplement, they claim it helps with weight loss, but this is, of course, not proven. This product contains: Caffeine, Hops, Raspberry, Ginger, Phenylethylamine, Synephrine, Evodiamine, Sclareolide, Dimethylamylamine and Yohimbine. Has anyone actually tried this product? ## I bought this product from a seller on ebay. The label on the bottle looks like something that was printed up on a home computer and the label was affixed by hand because it was crooked. Also, the label says liqui-caps and these were NOT liquicaps but caps filled with a tan looking herby powder. That being said, it was an effective product, after using one bottle. I took 2 pills before a workout and I could definitely feel a lift ...

On 30 mg 2 x daily for 45 days. Took last 30 at 7pm yesterday. Is one orange AN415 for 4 days going to help me withdraw and stop opiates all together. I dont want this addiction anymore? ## Hello, Ginger! How are you doing? You can't take Suboxone, until you are in full withdrawal. Otherwise, it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals that could include grand mal seizures. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. And it is doubtful that just 4 days of it is going to be enough to completely beat this. Have you consulted your doctor? Unless you've been abusing the Morphine, you should be able to just taper off of it after ...

If I have this medication for my dog. Is it interactive with humans? Can I take it? I have a tooth ache that is so bad with infection my face is swollen. I can't see a dentist for 6 days. I'm trying everything from garlic, ginger, peroxide, Apple cider vinegar, etc to help and nothing is helping. Also is there penicillin in this drug? I am allergic. Thank you for your help. ## Hello, Rene! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry about the infection, they are miserable! As to this medication, unfortunately, I can't speak to the safety of your taking it. Many medications that are prescribed for canines are the same as those prescribed for people, but not all. Are there any markings on it that would enable me to check? No, it doesn't contain Penicillin, it contains Cephalex...

I TOOK SERTRALINE WHICH HELPED GREATLY BUT CAUSED WEIGHT GAIN. I WAS THEN GIVEN WELLBUTRIN SR BUT PHARMACY SUBSTITUTED BUDEPRION SR WHICH I HAVE NOT TAKEN YET. IT'S FOR DEPRESSION. ANY "HEADS UP" THOUGHTS ABOUT BUDEPRION SR? ## Hello, Ginger! How are you? There is some confusion occurring here and your pharmacy should have explained better, however, I am happy to clear this up for you. Budeprion and Wellbutrin are the same medication, they are both brand names for Bupropion. Learn more Bupropion details here. So, you have still been given the same medication that your doctor prescribed. It's an atypical antidepressant and smoking cessation aid and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

It is not working yet after 2 days. thank you ## Hello, Ginger! How are you? The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Have you informed your doctor that it isn't helping? ## Hello im a new user of this medicine..

I have talked to several people who have said that they did not have good results when they were switched from the brand to the generic. I am having trouble with walking. I think maybe I could be having trouble because I am using the generic, Have you seen patients that have had similar complaints? Thanks ## Hi, Ginger! Sorry about the problem that you're having. There are always people that have problems with generics, because there can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient, when switching from the name brand to the generic. It doesn't affect everyone, but some people are sensitive to any change, or it can occur if you were taking the name brand for a very long time. Learn more Levodopa details here. Have you tried asking your doctor to prescribe it as the bran...
