I Just Take 1 Day

I just took left over amoxicillin and nitrofur for a Uti that just became really bad. I'm hoping this will hold me over until I can call my dr tomorrow. I was told its ok to take older antibiotics Bc the worst is that they'd lose their ability to work. Please tell me this is true!!! ## Does amoxicillin 500 MG capsues loose strength over couple years. and do they really mean anything if I have a heart mumur before having a tooth extraction? ## Yes, it is correct, they do start to lose effectiveness over time, thus they don't work as well and you need to see a doctor to get a new prescription, as soon as possible. Casey, I have never known them to have to be used for someone with heart murmur, before dental extractions. My own doctor has never worried about it. It's genera...

I am taking macaroot and vitex it says take one pill three times a day but I always forget can I take all three at once Or is that really bad? If i do it what kind of results could it have? ## @Dominique, From your description I get the sense that it may be best to continue trying to adhere to the dosing guidelines listed on the packaging, since that's probably how you optimize its effectiveness. However, from my own understanding it may also depend on what dose you're taking. Reason I say that is because Vitex reportedly comes in dosage forms of up to 400mg and the average dose of maca is listed at 1,000mg to 2,000mg. My theory is that if you fall within these parameters then it's still considered a "normal" dose, whether taken all at once or divided throughout the ...

Haven't used Amphetamines since I was in grade school. Rosaline. Do recently my Dr wanted me to try Mydayis. Today was the first day 25.5 mg then in 2 weeks 37.5. I can't say I felt much, maybe a little more focused but not black hole focused and could still laugh and be myself. There aren't many reviews as it's new so I guess I'm just looking for feedback or suggestions. Kind Regards ## The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, mood swings, and weight loss. Is there anyone else that has been trying this medication? If so, please post with your experience so far. ## Hello! I'm a 47 year old female who started 37.5 dose of Mydayis one week ago. I did ...

my script is for clonazepam o.5 mg take 1 or 2 tablets by mouth twice daily. does this mean i can take 4 pills daily? should the qty for 30 days be 120 or 60/ ## Hi, Loumac! How are you? That would normally mean that you can take up to 4 pills a day, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more Clonazepam details here. On the quantity, there is no specific amount that your doctor has to prescribe. There is a maximum that they can't exceed, but if they're expecting you to not always need 4 tablets a day, then they don't have to prescribe that many, they could just prescribe 30 or 60, if they feel it's appropriate. This medication does have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability...

I was just given Ritalin to take for concentration and depression. Does anyone take it for that? Has anyone had success with this medication? What about bad side effects? ## Hello, Candy!

How long is the interval for 3 x a day be? ## Hi Maureen, If you're to take one pill 3 times a day, the best advice I can offer is that you divide 24 (hours in day) by 3. This would equate to taking one pill every 8 hours. I hope this makes sense! Please post back if you have any other questions or comments regarding this. ## 3 TAB A DAY, OF LEVETIRACETA 1000MG. HE WOULD LIKE TO SPREAD THEM OUT. ## Not true. That's every 8 hours. When it's 3 times a day you take 3 times during the day. You don't have to wake up or take it around the clock.only if it says every 8 hours. So what times are best for you. I take mine morning, lunch, and dinner. ## This is the most intelligent, well-explained answer to this question that I've ever come across. My Dr was not able to tell me...

I just picked up a RX for Movantik and am so ready to start it! I have been so constipated for months and bloated too. Is there a better time of day to take it? Morning or night?

Thank you in advance for any advice! ## The FDA generally suggests it be taken in the morning. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including stomach pain, diarrhea, increased sweating, yawning, and irritability. Are you on any other medications?

Does it make a difference if you take 15 mg of Mobic in the am or pm? I already have trouble sleeping... ## Hi Linda, The medication usage guidelines for Mobic (Meloxicam) are as follows: Meloxicam comes as a tablet and suspension (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take meloxicam at the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take meloxicam exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Shake the suspension well before each use to mix the medication evenly. Based on the above information, it looks like you can take Mobic at any time of the day as long as you stay consi...

When taking prescribed antibiotics and the dosage is 1 pill twice a day, how many hours should before the next dosage? ## Hi Dman, Based on a 24 hour time scale, if you're required to take 1 pill twice daily, that "generally" means taking 1 pill every twelve hours. However I would recommend double checking this with your doctor first, in case he or she has special instructions for your individual case. From what I understand, the dosing schedule may also depend on the brand and whether or not it's an extended release tablet. I hope this helps! What's the name of the antibiotic you're taking? ## levetiraceta 1000MG ## I've just started taking Nitrofurantoin MCR 100MG CAPSULES. They're yellow in color. ## I'm taking amox-clav 875mg tablets.

My husband was just prescribed embeda for his chronic pain. Is it better to take it in the morning or at night? Does it matter? ## No, it really doesn't matter, unless his doctor has given other instructions, he can take it whenever it is most convenient for him. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## All those side affects and oxycodone has none in comparison to that junk. A little constipation that mirlax fixes that problem. If it habit forming wth! I have a physical dependence not an addiction to ipiods.
