Is There Any Side Effects Of Taking A Gi Cocktail

I was given a GI cocktail of mylanta, lidocaine viscous and dicyclomine at the er. I went in with chest pains feeling really out of it, shortness of breath, had blisters on the roof of my mouth, tired and couldn't remain awake. It could've been due to an allergic reaction to tramadol pain pills which I got last Friday. A chest xray showed ACUTE bronchitis and chest pains. EKG twice was fine. Did it twice Tuesday and nothing came up, but when I drank that GI Cocktail when my throat got numb, it felt like I was suffocating. I could hardly breathe. It felt like my air intake was closing up on me. I could see in my mind what it felt like it was doing. Like you see pictures in the doctors office of plague built up in the artery and the little hole where the blood barely flows; that...

little pink/orangy pill...i need to know what its used for and if its similar to aropax....PLEASE REPLY A.S.A.P. ## Pax-5 contains 5mgs of Alprazolam, it is a Benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety, nervous disorders and some cases of insomnia. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability. Read more: So no, it is not similar, nor in the same class as Aropax, which contains the active ingredient Paroxetine, this one is an SSRI antidepressant. Have you switched from one to the other? ## I was given this as part of a 'cocktail' for cluster migraines and find it strange that a side effect is a headache???? Do you think it is OK to keep taking them when i get the migraine?

how do human dies by taking sinate i want to know detailed anybody can give answer..........................?? ? Sinatecontains the active ingredients 10mgs of Doxylamine, 10mgs Pyridoxone and 2.5mgs of Folic Acid ## I'm researching Bendectin, and Doxylimine I think is an ingredient in it, and it seem that now days since they took Bendectin off the market after they were aware that many women suffered problem side effects, and children were born with birth defects. The took it off so they wouldn't be sued. But It seem that the give a type of medical mixture cocktail now of this and the other ingredients of Bendectin, evidently also with the folic acid too. Bendectin, if anyone wants to Google, it..will show it does cause birth defects. My daughters have mild ones, but they have ...

the ingrediants are Benadryl, Donnatal, maalox or maalox plus. It is a compound drug ## Trying to look for an alternative for GI cocktail ## Shouldn't a "GI Cocktail" have all the ingredients listed on the medicine bottle so the patient know exactly what's in it? ## What else can be used instead of a GI cocktail That Ins. will pay for ## Yes, it usually contains exactly what is listed, though the ingredients may vary, depending on what your doctor orders. The FDA lists the typical side effects as including nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Pink Butterfly, what has been listed in yours? Patricia, it really depends on what insurance you have, not all are the same. What company provides your coverage?

Do they use these drugs as a GI cocktail to treat acid refluk? ## I have used a GI cocktail with belladona and donnatol for years. It had cost me about $28 a bottle, after ins. paid their portion. Now they said they can't get generic donnatol and the substitute is expensive so they are charging $130 a bottle at Walgreens. I told them to keep it. that's an outrage. If FDA has done this, it's time to contact our congressmen/women. ## No, this medication combination is most commonly used to treat, or prevent IBS symptoms. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and abdominal pain. Natlie, the FDA has nothing to do with setting the prices for any given medication, that is entirely up to the manufacturer. The FDA has...

i have been using topomax since november 2010 for neuropathy pain. i had the typical side affects of facial numbness, tingling, flat taste of any carbonated drink and the best of all side effect was my 32 lb. weight loss and counting. since then i have been prescribed the medicine for bipolar along with cymbalta which also works great for my neuropothy. these two medications together seem to be the best cocktail for my pain and my bipolar. i have been on many different meds. in my adult life and none of them have given me the results that these two have. so for those of you that are thinking of getting off of topomax before you allow the side effects to go away, i would suggest that you at least hang in there for a few weeks to see if the good results outweigh the bad side effects. i al...
