Long Look

How long after Xtandi has reduced PSA levels to zero or almost zero does it take for PSA levels to start to rise and I will have to find another step in treatment? ## Hi Marlee, I'll be honest, I don't know anything about PSA levels or what that stands for medically, BUT, looking at the estimated half life of Xtandi (enzalutamide) you can get a really good idea of how long it will be working in your body since your last dose. According to The University of Utah, the mean half life of Xtandi is 5.8 days with a broad range of anywhere between 2.8 – 10.2 days. So if Xtandi reduced your PSA levels shortly after ingestion, it will take about 5 days for half of that dose to be eliminated from your body; and then another 5 days for half of that remaining half to be eliminated, an...

Yesterday I picked up a 20 day supply of oxycontin 30 mg. It was a 20 day script. At 2 a day my px was for 60. I was HORRIFIED when the pharmacist billed me for 325.00, including my insurance discount. They claimed there is not a generic oxycontin. Oxycodone 30 mg was $15 for 60...so needless to say I was shocked!!! Is there an equivalent slow release to replace 30 mg of oxycontin? There has got to be something. I got into a bit of a habit with taking too many 30 oxycodone, which is why I was put on a slow release. Any advice out there? The pharmaceutical companies are gouging us beyond belief, and I've got a medical condition due to an accident where I need these pills, at least for another 2 months or so. The $325.00 price has me in a state of high anxiety however. Is hydromorphin...

Can someone please post a picture of what one of these new subutex look like? Thanks... ## Hi Rob, I do find it odd that the manufacturer (Actavis) doesn't post photographs of their pills prior to releasing them on the market, as I think it just creates more confusion... But if you take a look at the following discussion thread, another visitor was kind enough to share a link to their own image of this orange oblong/oval subutex pill with a half moon on one side and the number 153 on the other: Discuss/orange-subutex-153-half-moon-pills-286895.htm?srcq=subutex+153 Hope this helps! ## <> with a half moon an 153 on other side ## You can Google 153 pill and it will show U all shapes and names of pills with 153 on them and I think it was the 2nd one pictured

urinal track infections ## i'm looking for info about spasmo urolong. ## Which dose and days is necessary for an urine infection? ## This drug is unavailable in the US. From the information I have found, it contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic and another medication called Camylofin, which I could not find any information on. I suggest you speak to your doctor for dosage information. ## this medicine works well for urine infections it contains nitrofurantoin and camilofin which is a pain reliever.

Bright Red, oblong pill, scored, imprint "one" on one side. Can't find this pill in any of the on-line literature. ## Because this pill has no "identifiable" markings, it is going to be difficult to determine what this tablet contains. U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have unique letters or numbers (sometimes in addition to a logo of some kind) imprinted on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage. However, the way a pill looks is entirely up to the whit and whim of the company making it, so there could be many, many pills on the market, both over the counter and prescription that meet that physical description. It is very likely that this pill falls into one or more of the categories listed below:...

it has same color and shape of advil. the difference is that the v is smaller letter than all the over letters. All letters are lower case letters but the letter v is even smaller. ## What is the complete marking?

Looks just like a blue football and is making me have heart aches my balance is off and feel like i'm fixing to have seizure. What did I take? ## They could be fake but if you provide the NDC # on the pill perhaps someone could attempt to answer your question. It is always best to only take medicine prescribed to you? ## Hello, Kandy! How are you doing? If you are feeling so horrible and are unsure of what you took, please seek medical attention. Xanax can cause seizures in some people, though it can also be used to prevent them, but it's not very common. The FDA lists it as carrying the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Were there any markings on it?
