How Much Do You Take A Day

My Doctor put me on 5 8mg pills a day. Just wondering what everybody is taking. Thanks ## You should follow your doctor's instructions, rather than go by what other people are taking. Suboxone is usually started at a certain amount, depending on the addiction being treated, what drugs were involved and how much, then the amount is adjusted once you see how well it is helping. ## I'm not trying to take more. I was just wondering what other people were prescribed and to see if I had a normal dosage. Just wondering? ## I take one 8 mg sub every 12 hours. two a day.

My ilvitrim is written 2pills every one hour...tht I must take is that right?Doctor did not explain to me ## Hello, Lelona! How are you? No, I'm not finding anything showing you should take them that often. However, you may want to double check with your doctor on that. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I take 100 mg of Losartan but BP is still 140/100. I did increase to 150mg myself. Is this ok. It has seemed to decrease my BP to 130/ 75. ## Hello, Tommie! How are you? The maximum daily dosage is 100mgs and you really shouldn't change the dosage yourself. How long were you taking the 100mg dosage? It can take 3 to 6 weeks for this medication to reach its full efficacy level in your body to see how much it will lower your blood pressure. If you were taking it longer than that, then it may be that it's just not the right medication for you. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I just had an appointment w/ a med doc 3rd of Jan. BP was high but wants to watch it till next appointment in May. Thanks for responding back to my question.

I took doxycycline in feburary for a root canal then in april for sinus infection. Now my gyno has me on it because she removed a cervical poylip. I'm wondering if taking this so many times is harmfull or will it break down your imun.system? ## It really depends on the specific bacteria being treated. If they are all the same, then yes, you do run the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, which means that, in the future, this medication may no longer work for you. However, if it is still working now to treat or prevent infections, then there is really no reason to worry. In many cases, doctors like to reuse an antibiotic that you have taken in the past, because it's already been established that you aren't allergic to it. However, if you are concerned, then in the future...

Hi. I took naproxen dr 500mg 6 hours ago, but I have still a lot of vaginal pain that I'm dealing with. Can I take ibuprofen 600 mg now while breastfeeding? ## No, you should not combine them, since they are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, thus that would essentially be doubling up. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. How severe is the pain and how old is your baby?

I have been prescribed Hydrocodone and would like to know how much I can safely take without worrying about an overdose. One pill is not touching the pain! ## In adults, the max dose of Hydrocodone is 60 mg/day or a max single dose of 15 mg. In children older than 12 years of age, the max dose of Hydrocodone is 45 mg/day or a max single dose of 10 mg. The usual adult dose is 2.5 to 7.5 mg of Hydrocodone every 4 to 6 hours. Editor's note: This refers to Hydrocodone by itself, not when taken in combination with other ingredients such as Acetaminophen. ## It really depends on how long you've been on it. Most patients can take 1-2 Hydrocodone every 6 hours as needed for pain. If it's 7.5/325 then you can safely take two but what other medications are you on? How much Tylenol is ...

I understand it causes drosiness and it is affecting me. I am sleepy most of the day because I take one capsule 4 times a day. can I take the 4 capsules a day all at once at night.? The strengh of the capsule is 5-2.5M. ## No, they shouldn't be taken altogether, but the problem may be that you are on too high of an amount each day. This medication is known to cause oversedation, if too much is being taken. Have you contacted your doctor?

can i take more than 180 mg of fexofenadine my eyes are swollen and my throat is drying up i have an epi pen but am not sure when to use it ## Hello, Betty! How are you? The epi pen should be used when you have trouble breathing and you may feel like you are going to lose consciousness, or your family should know to use it, if you lose consciousness and can't communicate with them. There are training videos you can watch for them and it should be shot into the thigh. As to the Fexofenadine, while it can be taken in higher doses, it will not usually help fast enough, if you are having a severe anaphylactic reaction. In such cases, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or your epi pen are the best choices, unless your doctor instructs otherwise, because they work much faster and could save your ...

I'm in so much pain with my legs and back, all I can do is lay in bed. Can I take Norco every 3 hours? ## You should not take it more frequently that your prescription directs. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. How often have you been directed to take it?

How much oxycodone 5mg can I take per day before it affects the Kidneys? ## Hello, Charles! How are you? How many have been prescribed each day? You should make certain that you don't exceed that amount. This is 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. There is no set amount that you can take, before it may affect the kidneys, liver, or other organs. That can vary from person to person and depends on your overall health, pre-existing renal issues and etc.

blue round S193 ## How many o The 3mg pills is safe to take withim a two hour ## And this is going to be another of verwon's PSA posts….. Regardless of what medication it is, please do not try to adjust the dosage yourself. You should only take the recommended amount, if it's an over the counter medication, or whatever amount your doctor has specified for a prescription medication. Doing otherwise puts you in danger of overdose, which may include organ damage, organ failure or death. You can learn more Lunesta details here. This class of medications is especially dangerous, since they cause depression of the central nervous system. Thus, doubling up on the dosage could cause severely lowered heart rate, dangerous lowered blood pressure and shallow breathing. At...

I'm going through it, 29yrs old. Tried it one time since 2011. I'm tired and want to do it. Thanks ## It depends how much Suboxone you've been taking each day and how long you've been taking it. Can you please post back with more details? Has your doctor given you a tapering schedule? The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addition, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I just wanted to take a moment to say. I've been reading all this string of info and I keep going back to the same thought. I was prescribed Hydrocodone for Severe TMJ & TMD etc. In other words my jaw is really messed up.

How much methadone should i take while im taking one subtext everyday? ## When it comes to proper dosing protocols, usually your doctor is the best person to ask. However I have heard that Methadone and Subutex are sometimes approved to be used together since Subutex doesn't have Naloxone. And please correct me if I'm wrong, but in that aspect you shouldn't have to worry about Subutex taking Methadone off the receptors as Suboxone would; leading to precipitated withdrawals. I would just encourage you to discuss how much you should be taking with your doctor, since he/she is the one prescribing it. Does anyone else have advice from personal experience?

I've got an infection in my gum near where my wisdom teeth is growing and its very painful the dentist gave me amoxicillin but I can't remember how many I take a day and how long I take it for as I threw away the box with all the instructions on. ## Hello, Nicole! How are you? I'm very sorry about the gum infection. What I would suggest in this case is that you call the dentist and ask them. What dosage are they? That information is essential to being able to provide you with accurate information.
