How To Stop Colds

Can Sulfameth Tmp Ds Tab Be Stop After a Two Day Use period And Started Again A Week Later? My cold symptoms left within 36 hours but i was having a very difficult time urinating. Just dribbling about 8 times over night. That's why I stopped the meds. urination problem ceased. ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic, it is used to treat infections and is not effective against the virus that causes colds. The urinary issue is also liable to recur, if it was caused by this medication. Have you consulted your doctor? ## I took sulfamethoxaxole twice a day. Then I went on vacation and forgot to take it for about four days. I finished the rest of the bottle when I got home. Can this cause my period to be late?

oval,white,ETHEX,208 ## This is an decongestant, used to treat colds. ## I was prescribed this pill along with Nasonex to help symptoms of congestion and sinus pressure with a heavy cold. My doctor told me it contains 'prescription strength Sudafed' (I assume that means it contains Pseudoephedrine HCl, but I don't know how much), plus an expectorant, that it should be safe to take while nursing but it may reduce milk supply temporarily - supplies should return normal after stopping the pills. I took one, and it did help the congestion, but no more than regular Sudafed (most Sudafed formulations contain 30mg Pseudoephedrine HCl).

What kind of an infection is this for and how does it interact with alcohol? ## Amoxicillin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia; bronchitis; gonorrhea; and infections of the ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin. It is also used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, and other viral infections. The Amoxicillin + Clavulanate Potassium "combination" results in an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against amoxicillin-resistant bacteria that produce -lactamase.

I use to take this cough syrup when I was a kid. It was the only cough syrup that would help me. I was just wondering if it still can be bought? You had to mix it at home but I forget how. If anyone knows if it is still for sale or not please let me know ## I found a 1925 newspaper with instructions for making your own cough syrup. 2 1/2 oz. Pinex. 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water. Stir until dissolved. No cooking needed. ## I am looking for the same Pinex liquid cough syrup. We use to mix it in a jar with Honey! It was so thick. It was great to get rid of mucus. It stops the colds from going into the lungs. ## I cannot find PINEX..However, I did find a product a few days ago called CREOMULSION..made by a company in Marrietta, Ga. it looks like Pinex and tastes like Pinex. Now I'll see if ...

I took this medication for 2 days and stopped it, I had broken out with a very red rash on my leg, and didn't get any new meds for my cold, is there a problem stopping . ## This is a generic for Augmentin, it is an antibiotic and it will not do anything to treat a cold, since colds are caused by viruses and antibiotics are not effective against them. You can learn more Augmentin details here. And that rash could be the sign of an allergic reaction to this medication. You should consult your doctor to be certain, because it may be something that you have to avoid taking in the future. Is there anything else I can help with?

need to know information on and history ## If you're talking about Pulmari GP which contains Carbetapentane + Guaifenesin, then that medicine is used to decrease coughs and break up mucus in the lungs caused by colds or throat irritation. Carbetapentane helps to stop cough. Guaifenesin helps break up mucus in the lungs. This product is not intended to treat chronic cough caused by smoking, asthma, emphysema, heart failure, or problems in which there is a large amount of mucus.
