Can I take Pharmaton indefinitely? ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? As long as your doctor approves. Many people do take a daily multivitamin throughout their lives. The FDA warns that it may cause nausea, as a side effect, in some people that take it. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I take both azitromicina if I am taking amoxicilan ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? Unless your doctor has specifically told you take both, it's usually best to stick with one or the other. The Azithromycin can reduce the efficacy of the Amoxicillin. The FDA lists the typical side effects of these antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

looks like time release and the number "1" ingraved on one side ## HI, Lorraine! Where did you find it? I've tried searching several databases now, since first seeing your post, but I haven't found anything that matches this among the U.S. prescription medications. I think it's most likely that this is an over the counter product of some type and that's why I asked where you found it, since some products are regional and knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. Does anyone else recognize this capsule?

I take Alprazolam 0.5 at night and Sertraline HCL 50 MG in the morning as prescribed by my DR. Is that safe ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, though it's always best to double check such information to be sure. However, you should be fine, if your doctor has prescribed them both. The FDA classifies Sertraline as an SSRI antidepressant and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Alprazolam carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

My child was prescribed one for acne, the other for an upper respiratory infection. Should he take both, or stop taking the one for acne until he finishes the one for infection? ## Hi Lorraine, Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim) and Amoxicillin; deeming them as safe to take together. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. I hope this helps to answer your question! :) ## I'm curious. One of my colleagues, a herm, lives in my building and my domestic partner needs meds for acne. I did, too, and I don't ever recall using Amoxicillin for acne. Yes, Amox s good for...

Pink oblong metalox ## I have leftovers from about a year ago. Are they still effective or should i get rid of them? I was told that they are still good but they just lose their potency. ## Skelaxin contains the active ingredient Metaxalone, this is a muscle relaxant. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. Lorraine, that is correct, they are not dangerous, but can lose some of their efficacy over time. This causes some people to use more than they should, which is why you are told to throw away old medications. Are there any other questions? ## Is it ok to take ibuprophen along with skelaxin?

I was on Percocet for 5 yrs for various areas of pain and arthritic knees. 6 weeks ago I went to Detox and was treated with Methadone. I am taking Ativan 1mg twice a day for the hand tremors. I am going to ask the Dr for 2mg because I still have these tremors. Help when will this subside or finally stop. I don't miss the Percs at all and I am finally free! ## Lorraine yes you are off percocets, but now on methadone and already needing an increase in your ativan. You just traded 1 med for 2? ## I think I may have mixed myself with my post I did detox 6 weeks ago. I was given Methadone. and now finished with that since I am hme. I had hand tremors and still have them. My PCP says he will give my 2mg of Ativan to ease my tremors., ## Hi Lorraine, Congrats on getting off those medicatio...

I am on meth. now and have been on it since 1996 my dr. movedhis clinic 45 min away from me and I need a dr. who will prescribe me meth. I cannot stand the drive and I am worried because I don't have a car. my mom takes me down but what if something happens to her God forbid!!!! I am 52 yrs.old now, so I am very worried if I cant get down there. I live in Bergen county nj in Fairview. ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? A clinic is your only option, if it's for drug addiction/maintenance, under current law, private doctors are not allowed to prescribe it for that. 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. I'm sorry, I wish I had better news for you, but...

I previously developed cellulitis, which started on my leg, I ended up going to my doctor and he prescribed antibiotics and an ointment and it did go away. That was three years ago. Recently I began feeling that same itch on my leg and figured it was coming back, and sure enough the rash is starting to develop. Before it gets any worse, would I be able to use this cream for cellulitis on my leg? ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? It may help, but you should check with your doctor, first, especially since you may also need a systemic antibiotic. Are you on any other medications? The FDA lists its typical side effects as including skin redness, irritation and dry skin. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have an abcess. Can I use this cream for an abcess?

when i take it after 3months were effect nah ## If I only take memory plus gold for only 3months will my memory be good after that? Or do I really need to maintain it? ## This is just a nutritional supplement that contains a complex of vitamins and minerals that are thought to help with brain health and mental cognition, but there is no proof that it will actually do anything. However, these is no harm in trying it, since the nutrients it contains are vital to your overall health. The FDA warns that it has been known to cause nausea, and diarrhea, in some people that take it, as side effects. Lorraine, since it isn't proven to help, there is really no answer for that. The only thing you can do is try it and see how it works for you. Is there anything else I can help you? ## 1 week n...

I was in an auto accident 8/21/96 and ever since then I have been dealing with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). For the last 11 yrs I have been on Avinza 270 mg (2 120mg, 1 30mg once a day) by King Pharmaceutical and now my ins company is insisting that a generic is made and sold in the US by Acatavis Elizabeth. I cannot see anything current that it has been released. There is a legal suit between King and Acatavis because it states a generic cannot be released until 11/2017. Generics do not work for me and right now I'm fighting it, but would like to know if it is true about Avinza being made and sold in the US by Actavis. Please let me know if you're able to, I would surely appreciate it. Thank you! ## Hello, Lorraine! How are you? The databases are showing that a generic f...
