How Long Does It Takes

How long does it take for this Mopic to work? My doctor prescribed Mopic 15 mg once per day for arthritis So far, I only took second pill today. I had pain in my knee cap and my hands. Now the pain is gone but I went outside today for a little bit and now I have a pain in left leg toward the part where the leg meet the ankle. Does the pain move to a different of the body? I need to get back to work as soon as I can. I live here in Southern California so the weather is not too bad. ## Hello, May! How are you? While this medication can relieve pain, you can still experience breakthrough pain, so the pain doesn't move, this medication just doesn't prevent it all. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and...

Hi you good people.I had an IUD done..after two weeks of doing it I noticed a smelly discharge...i asked a pharmacist for advice n he recomanded Canex V cream.After using it on the day i bought it the smell stoped but i still produce dark brown(not a pleasent color) discharge.How long will it take to stop completely? ## It sounds like you may be experiencing spotting, which is a type of light bleeding that can be a normal side effect, when you have an IUD, according to NIH reports. When it's dark brown like that, it's usually old blood that wasn't expelled during your prior period. Have you had it checked out by a doctor, though? That is always the best thing to do.

Benzo expert! Valium is the longest acting benzo in the field 4-6 weeks, and that is with lots of fluids! Now klonopin, will stay in system 1-2 wks, depending on use? Xanax is the best benzo, for the use of the drug, also the shortest acting drug! Will stay in system 2-6 days, depending on how frequent you take them?

My father inlaw takes .5 morphine sublingaul. How long does it stay in your system? He has lung cancer. He's about 250lbs. ## Are you referring to how long it will work for him, with its pain relieving effects? For severe pain, the sublingual is usually prescribed to be taken every 3 to 4 hours, as needed, because there is no precise way for a doctor to know how severe someone's pain is and how long any medication will keep it under control. It is a narcotic, so it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and dry mouth. Learn more: ## I had major blood loss after surgery. Can I still use tripolene at night or will be give me side affects like headace ect, or slow the iron level i am trying to rebuild in my blood.

how long does suboxone block diazepam elavil & lexapro. ## Hello, Silver Fox2! How are you? It does not block those medications. Suboxone contains Buprenorphine and Naloxone, the Naloxone only blocks the effects of other opiates to prevent their abuse, while someone is being treated with it and the Buprenorphine takes their place on the opiate receptors in the brain. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took 2 8 mlg strips rhis morning I got months ago incase I ran out and I went to the doctor the other day and he prescribed me 1...

How are you? How high is it spiking in the evening? And when are the spikes occurring, are they happening after activity, after eating, or just close to the time of your next dose? Your blood pressure should fluctuate throughout the day, in accordance with some of the things I've already asked about, such as activity, eating, next dose being due and those are just some of the reasons listed by the NIH. I am a high blood pressure/cardiology patient myself, and I have learned that there are certain ti...

How long does it take Multaq to get into your system and actually work? I started taking it this morning and it has been 3 1/2 hours and nothing. ## Never mind. I found out the answer. It takes 2-4 days. It didn't work for me so I have to check into other options. ## Hi Kat, Thanks for providing valuable feedback from your own personal experience. Hopefully it'll help others who may be facing similar problems... I was just wondering though if you based your evaluations off of taking Multaq on an empty stomach or with meals? Surely it gets into a patient's system the same day it's consumed, but I'm guessing there's a certain threshold of how much is built up before one notices how it really affects them day to day - Is that right? At any rate, I'm sorry to hea...

I started taking Losartan/HCTZ 50/12.5 4 days ago, but my blood pressure has not gone down yet . Do you have to take this medication for awhile before it becomes effective? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? Yes, it takes about 4 to 5 weeks for this medication to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to see how well it work for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your response..

Im 31yrs old now and I been taking oxycodone 10/325 for 17 yts after injuring my L5-S1 and both legs in an auto accident. It generally takes roughly 15-20 mins to work and I'm finding that I'm having to "DOUBLE UP" and am considering asking to increase my dosage at my doc visit next week. Are there any suggestions out there? Thanks so much. ## Yes, these combination tablets are regular release ones, so they will usually take 15 to 20 minutes to start working, because your stomach has to start digesting them, before the medication can enter your blood stream to have its intended effect. You may want to ask your doctor about OxyIR, it's a 5mg immediate release Oxycodone capsule. It could help you get better control of your pain, because usually one of them is taken for...

Hello I have been on opiates for about 2 years now and I was given a half of a quarter of a subutex and this is my first time taking it. I was wanting to know when it wears off? I think it threw me into full detox because I took 20 mg of hydrocodone 7 hours before I took the sub. I am aware I have a problem I just want to know when the sub will wear off. Took it at 1:30 pm, it's now 9:30pm. ## It usually takes about 72 hours, before other opiates will be effective for you, again. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## That is not necessarily true. If it's the only one he has ever taken and in such a small do...

want to no how long takes to get out of your blood got to have blood work? ## Hydrocodone - HOW LONG DOES THIS STAY IN YOUR blood if I took 1-2 for a week? ## Hi Chel, Just so you know, if you were prescribed this medication then you don't need to worry about testing positive for it. Presenting proof of your prescription prior to the tests will be enough to get you by. To answer your question though, it really depends on how much, how long and how often you were taking it. Most pharmacists consider that after 3-5 "half-lives," close to 90% of the drug has been eliminated and is no longer affecting the body. The maximum wait to achieve five half-lives for Vicodin would be 5 x 3.8 half-life = 19 hours. I'd suggest giving yourself about a full week or so leeway with the amo...

How long does it take for a mms60 to wear off because I don't like the way it's making me feel. I feel worse than I did and it's just not helping me. ## Hello, Bob! How are you? It may take a day or so, before you begin to feel better. However, what symptoms are you experiencing? The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Thus, some side effects are normal and should improve with time, as your body gets used to the medication. ## Hi. My mom Hass lung cancer that has spread and she had 1ml of morphine.

Looking for new things happening in the medical field about this drug. ## Ativan is NOT new, it was approved by the FDA and placed on the prescription drug market in 1977. The active ingredient is Lorazepam. This is a Benzodiazepine, so in the same class as Valium or Xanax and just as addictive. How long it takes to start working depends on your body and metabolism, it can range from 2 weeks to a month. Some of the most common side effects include: sedation, dizziness and weakness. ## Just been put on gabapentin for pelvic pain caused by interstitial cystitis. First week is 100 mg three times a day.

My friend takes roxi's and the last time he smoked them was Saturday night 3 days ago and did not smoke since until yesterday afternoon. But he started on suboxone on Sunday until yesterday morning. He smoked 4 of them and then he did 3 more last night. He is taking the last suboxone today in the afternoon and he is drinking a jug of ice tea which has primarily water.

I don't know... ## It can vary depending on how much you have been taking and how long you have been taking it. Every medication has a time span that is considered a half-life, this is the amount of time it takes to reach 50% of its therapeutic level in your body, the time frame then slows, until it is finally eradicated. Prolonged used of a medication or high doses can delay this time period. Klonopin has a particularly long half-life to begin with, of around 35hours, so it would take approximately 3 days to be purged from your body at a regular usage dose. ## How long does Lamisil stay in your system? ## I took a half 1 mg klonopin about a week ago how long will it be before I can pass a drug test I have only took them 3 times ## Please tell me if u take 5 mg klonopin in five day ...
