Leg Ulcers

My daughter(aged 19) has just been advised to take a course of omeprazole for 4 weeks (one tab every morning) and every time she takes one she begins to feel sick and it brings on a headache and this morning said she was having pains in her leg? This is only day 2 of starting her presciption. Should I seek medical advice? ## Hello, Maggie! How is she doing? The FDA classifies this mediation as a proton pump inhibitor that's most commonly used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to help treat and prevent conditions, such as GERD, heartburn, ulcers and gastritis. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence and stomach pain. Joint pain is also a possible side effect. If it's that severe, she should speak to her ...

I could not/I have adverse reaction to almost everything/Makes me insane/not good all bad/Some people swear by it &that is excellent/Good/nite ## Did you possibly mean Cor 226?

I am a diabetic currently experiencing cellulitis in my legs with possible infection from the open ulcers. This I believe is the cause for recent, severe pain in my right kidney. I am asking can I use my pain pills Hydrocodon-Acetaminophen5-325 safely to combat both the pain and possible infection? ## Hello, Starace! How are you? This medication will only help with pain, there is nothing in it to help combat an infection, for that you need to see your doctor to have an antibiotic prescribed. The FDA classifies Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen as 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, My mom has been having a leg ulcer for years. She has been going to doctor during 2 years and her ulcer is not cured. I'm wondering if someone has tried Terrasil and i'd like to know if it is save and how good it can be for healing ulcers thank you

Prescribed in addition to Aprovel to reduce increased BP. After second tablet, itchy rash over arms, legs and abdomen, throat constriction, nausea, swellings, small ulcers on lips and tongue, agitation. I am not familiar with any of these symptoms and have never suffered from psoriasis in past. Phoned GP who advised to discontinue at once and given appointment next week. Have taken antihistamine as recommended. Three days later, still have rash, ulceration, and throat constriction. ## Rash is slowly fading, and pain on swallowing took 10 days to resolve. Felt unbelievably tired. ## I am so sorry! It definitely sounds like you experienced an allergic reaction and it's good that you called your doctor and stopped the medication immediately, because they tend to worsen with repeated ex...

My mother is having leg pain.Doctor has prescribed this medicine along with the pain killer..want to know for what is this medicine used ## Enzomac contains a trio of digestive enzymes, Trypsin, Bromelain and Rutoside. This is only a guess, but since many pain medications can cause stomach problems, such as nausea, ulcers and gastritis, the doctor may have given it to her to help prevent them from occurring. Are there any other questions or comments? ## see this is an enzyme combination to reduce swelling of soft tissues due to inflammation. It should be used along with pain killers as pain killer releive only pain but swelling only to a minimal extent. Dont want to go deep into medical terms but treatment is alright. ## What is enzomac tablet What does it contain. ## Technically in the...

Can you take Coumadin along with Cream of Tartar and Sulfur tablets? My mother was told there was an old time remedy to purify blood and get rid of ulcers/sores. I actually found a place that sells the tablets and was also told by them they work wonders for people with sores, etc. She has sores on her legs due to improper blood flow and a blood clot for which she is taking Coumadin. She is also going to ask her doctor before doing this holistic treatment but thought I would also ask a professional. Thank you. PS: she is not diabetic. ## I'm not a doctor, or a pharmacist, I will state that up front. As to possible interactions, I think asking her doctor would be best. I can't find anything that will allow me to check the Coumadin with Cream of Tartar. I have a resource that check...

I have been taking darvocet for 10 yrs and have never had a side effect. This is the only pain reliever that I can take because of my ulcers and diverticulitis. I also take this for my arthritis. What am I suppose to take now? ## I am in the same boat. I cannot find a substitute for Darvocet n/100. I have tried Tramadol and Oxycodone. I get Restless legs Syndrome from other meds. ## Sorry, but it's unfortunate that no one cares. Millions of people have taken this med for pain and because they cannot take other meds. One solution is to find a global source; there is always an answer. ## Find a pharmacy who sells the drug globally. ## There were two primary reasons why all medications containing Propoxyphene, and its relatives, were removed from the market. The first being that it was...

The main risk here is from the Naproxen, long-term use may cause more than stomach issues, which can include ulcers, it could also cause liver damage, or liver failure, which may be fatal, as reported by the FDA. Is your doctor monitoring you and doing blood work regularly?

I have taken the Accutane drug on 3 occasions 1990,1997,2008. I have had so many stomach problems that I attributed to something from a Bosnia peace keeping mission because that is when they started. I have Ulcers, a Hiatal Hernia, my gallbladder was removed, unexplained neuropathy in both hands and feet the list just keeps growing. Lately I have developed large masses one in my leg and the other in my back. They did not find the mass until an X-ray showed a cracked rib they believe has to be from trauma. The veins in my neck have begun to bust and this is from the pressure from the mass growing inside of me . The area becomes so hot I feel I am burning up and I sweat until the clothes I wear are soaked through. I did not know that all these things and more come from the drug Accutane u...

I'm feeling pain in my right leg's toe and the doctor prescribed me RANTAC 150. What is the use of this related to pain? This medicine is prescribed along with two other tablets i.e. Tendocare & Dictat. Please suggest, how much Rantac 150 is safe to take. ## The Rantac actually isn't intended to treat the pain you're experiencing, it's intended to prevent side effects that the other medications can cause. Rantac contains the active ingredient Ranitidine, which is an antacid, so it can help protect your stomach against irritation and other substances that may cause conditions such as ulcers, GERD and heartburn. You can learn more details on Rantac here. The Dictat that you have been prescribed contains Paracetamol and Aceclofenac and, since the latter is a nonster...

A doctor in mexico prescribed this for a rash i had on the back of my hand. I used the cream for a month till i could not see the rash anymore. Once i stopped using it, the rash tried to come back. Fortunately the rash slowly went away on its own after about 6 months. It's summer time now and appears the rash has completely went away. I hope so but continue to monitor it. ## I am using this medicine for ulcers on my legs and so far it is doing a good job. I live in Missouri. ## Thanks to you both for sharing your experiences with this cream.
