Hi, I have ex-stream pain under my rib cage, just did cat scan and won't be able to see dr. till monday, I can't sleep and in constant pain day and night, can I take together gabapentin (I take for my neuropathy daily) and Naproxen for shoulder inflammation and hydrocodon-acedaminophen 5-325 or even Tramadol 50 mg tablets and be safe for the pain? Thank you ## Hi tcats, Sorry to hear about your level of pain. From what I could gather, the Naproxen should be fine. However, according to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are drug interactions listed between the combination of Gabapentin and Hydrocodone, stating that taking the two together may decrease Hydrocodone's effectiveness. They don't go into any specific details determining why this is the case, but you ...

I took two extra strength Tylenol at 11:00 am. How long would I need to wait to take a Percocet 5? ## Hello, April! How are you? You should wait about 8 hours, according to FDA guidelines, you should not exceed 1,000mgs of Acetaminophen in any 8 hour time period and no more than 3,000mgs in 24 hours, otherwise, you increase your risk of liver damage, or failure, which has the potential to be fatal.

Is metronidazole pills safe to take after 5 years old? Coco just need to know... ## Hello, Coco! How are you?

I have some naproxen pills from a surgery a couple years back, and I have a symptom that needs an anti-inflammatory. Is it safe to take the outdated naproxen? ## There's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication, but according to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after the expiration date. But the question is whether or not the drug you ...

I complained to my doctor that although I used to loose weight easily this is no longer the case. She wrote me a script for one month supply of Tenuate, saying that this would assist me. As I am a believer in proper diet (healthy food) and exercise I am frightened to use this script. How safe is it if taken for a month and are there any foods, drink or tablets that cannot be taken during this period? Especially as I am a migraine sufferer yet even then do without medication unless it is impossible to carry on without.Thanks. ## Today is 1 week since I sarted & I have lost about 11lbs. already.

The bottle says expiration 2012 but my Dr appointment isn't until January 16th can I still take this for a vaginal discharge ## Hello, Dom! How are you? Medications tend to lose efficacy, once expired, so it may not work as well as it did, when it was new. As to the discharge, it depends what is causing it. This is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic, so it is not appropriate for all vaginal infections. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, stomach burning and cough.

Prescribed in 2008, how long is this medicine safe to take? ## The tablet with this marking contains 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine, the active ingredient in Flexeril, which is a muscle relaxant. This medication doesn't get dangerous, after the expiration date, but it does lose effectiveness over time, so it will not work as well as it did, when it was new.

I have been on Aciphex which was a miracle drug for me for 10 years. One pill daily controlled my GERD completely and I was able to eat normally and enjoy my life. For some reason I don't understand, I had a horrible breakthrough of GERD last Saturday night which felt like someone poured battery acid down my throat. It woke me at 2 AM and I was scared because I never had that type of reflux before. I had an endoscopy two years ago that was pretty normal. Since this happened on a weekend, I just started taking my Aciphex twice a day, once in am and once in pm and it seemed to help somewhat...not perfect, but better than it was. I finally got through to my GI doc on Tuesday and he switched me to Dexilant, 60mg once a day and 300mg generic Zantac at night. This is my fourth day and thi...

My grandson will turn 16 in February. He is 6' tall and weights 220 lbs. He takes Vyvanse for ADHD. Another doctor prescribed Naprelan to help heal a elbow injury. Is it safe to take both of these drugs? ## There are no interactions listed between taking them both, but you should check with a doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. The Naprelan contains the active ingredient Naproxen, so it doesn't actually help heal and injury, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that can help with pain and swelling that has been caused by the injury.
