How are you? There are some risks associated with taking them all together, such as depression of the central nervous system, interrupted heart rhythm, and increased sedation. However, as long as your doctor is monitoring you regularly and you are aware of any possible danger signs, such as extreme dizziness, severe drowsiness, and trouble breathing, there should not be a problem. Have the...

What drugs are given with or before the infusion of Remicade? ## My nurse gives me IV Benadryl and two oral Acetominaphen. I still through the infusion like a baby. :) ## I get Solu-Medrol thru the IV before they start the Remecade because the first time I had infusion of Remecade I developed rash on my ankles and thighs. They also give me 2 acetaminophen & oral Bendryl 250mg. ## What the others have posted seems to about the norm for those being given Remicade, though it can sometimes vary depending on a person's individual needs. in general, they are given to help prevent some of the possibly side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including chills, fever, headache, and rash. Can anyone else chime in with their experiences?

Gabapentin 300 mg.cap, Protonix 40 mg.Tab., Amitiza 24 MCG cap, Zegerid 40-1100 Cap, MRI with Contrast ## Gabapentin aka neurontin controls seizures, assists with sleep. I take 800 each night with 12.5 zolpidem which is time released. Ive never slept so well. ## Of the medications you listed, Gabapentin, Protonix, and the contrast medium have all been known to have detrimental effects on the kidney, though such occurrences are very rare. How severe is it, and what treatment options has your doctor suggested? Do you have high blood pressure, or a cardiac condition?

Ritodrine

Ritodrine (trade name Yutopar) is a tocolytic drug used to stop premature labor.[2] This drug has been removed from the US market, according to FDA Orange Book.

I was told that iv drugs are out of your system in 7 hours due to them not filtering thru your liver, is this true? ## Hello, bflynn! How are you? No, just the same as when you take an oral medication, the length of time it takes to filter out IV medications will vary from medication to medication. The FDA warns that opiates carry 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? ## Thankyou for helping me out with this question that I had...very helpful and now. Can tell my friend she Is wrong :-)

White triangle shaped tablet with an I on one side and # 3759 imprinted on the other side. ## The drugstrore where I was getting the medication no longer carry the med. I have taker many B med. and this was one that was a match for me with fewer side effects. At the phamacy they told me they had to take it off the market because they had a recall on the medication is this true or not. Please tell me where I can buy it in Dallas, Texas. ## The drugstrore where I was getting the medication told me to use it for a running Nose ## Teva Pharmaceuticals lists this as containing 10mgs of Lisinopril, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. NDC code: 00172-3759 Frank, it will not do anything to treat a runny nose. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nau...

I took 4 & 1/2 Hydrocodone 10/325s about 12 hours ago. Can I take 5 tramadol now ## Hello, Fly! How are you? You are taking far too many of these tablets, at once. Especially the Hydrocodone with the Acetaminophen, no single dosing of that should exceed 1,000mgs. How many have you been instructed to take, per dose, by your doctor? Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Keep in mind that it is very rare for someone to overdose on Tramadol alone, but Tramadol in combination with other drugs can be very dangerous and lead to death. ## Yes, what Dan said is correct, but that's in respect to any mediation, not just Tramadol. Most overdoses, especially fatal ones,...

I dont like taking any drugs but iv had three back surgerys ,Is dilaudid 4mg or ms cotin60mg. ## The 60mg MS Contin, Morphine, would actually be a stronger dose, to equal it, you would need 15mgs of the Dilaudid, Hydromorphone. Both are narcotics and can cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

My doctor just prescribed two drugs for two different conditions, prednisone for severe poison ivy and ciprofloxacn for a urinary infection. After doing a bit of research, it is my understanding that prednisone should not be taken when there is an infection. Should I take them both? (Prednisone dosage: 5mg each tablet; 10 tablets daily for 2 days, reducing to 9/2days; 8/2days; 6/2days; 4/2days; 2/2days; 1/2days. Cipro dosage: 500 mg; 1 tablet twice daily for 14 days) ## You shouldn't take it if you have an active fungal infection that you are taking oral medications for, and it can make it easier for you to develop an infection, but it is fine to take if you're doctor has prescribed it for you, and is monitoring your condition regularly. The FDA lists the typical side effects of...

Pregabalin is a generic for Lyrica and Gabapentin is the generic for Neurontin, though they are both used to treat nerve pain.

I take 145mg of methadone daily .my question is this.i just took 60mg of morphine will i feel it i do no other drugs. this is the first time ive used anything but methadone in 2 years ## Unfortunately, in any medical situation, a patient has to be their own best advocate. Doctors often prescribe medications according to their experience with how well something has worked for other patients. There really isn't a direct answer to your question, as no one can tell you how you would react to Morphine. Since medications can affect everyone differently, some people get great results from taking it, but there are others that it doesn't work for. I do know based on research that Methadone is considered to be 3-4 times stronger than oral Morphine (oxymorphone). And given the high dose of...

Hi am on methadone have been for quite a few years Now clean of drugs had a baby 5months ago put alot of weight on ive bought some raspberry ketone blast diet pills can I take them using this medication dont no what to do plz ## Hello, Kiz! How are you? Since the Ketones are a natural substance, in theory it should be safe, but you'd be best served to double check for your own safety. But I didn't find any interactions listed between raspberry and Methadone. 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. What has your doctor advised?

I am 25, 6ft 2in in height. am thin but will like to gain weight 53kg. can you please help me with sme drugs to increase my fatty cells nd gain weight as well.....ive tried food but it jus doesnt work. I will be glad to hear back from you. ## No, I'm sorry, but except in very rare cases, using drugs to induce weight gain is not safe and carries a lot of risks. The best thing to do would be the eat more calorie dense foods, while still eating healthy and getting lots of proper exercise. What types of foods do you normally eat?

equivilency of roxicodone 30 mg ## An equivalent dose of Dilaudid/Hydromorphone would be 11.25mgs. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Wow som1 who actually knows there conversion rates... 30mg oxicodone = to 29mg hydrocodone = to 60 mg of morphine = to 20mg meathadone = to 20mg oximorphone = to 12mg hydromorphone = to 600mcg fyntynal = to 30mg diamorphine, remember all these drugs have different boiavalabilties like oxicodone is 90% and hydromorphone oraly has a bio availability of 30-35% thats why it sucks. oraly bio is same. Through rectal and through nasle passage the bio is 55% and iv is 100%, tho bioavalibility varies wildly oraly from 10% to 60%, also hydromorphone is 60 times stronger than morphine when administered via iv. Morphine's bioavailability is 20 to 40% oral...
