I got my new Opana Prescription this week and it is the new formulation. The old ones were six sided and the new one is round. The new formulation, that the FDA approved, is supposed to be the same quality as the old Opana we are used to. I hope so. I am going to include the links to the articles that discuss this at the bottom, the latest article is directly from the makers of Opana and is from February. The old stock of Opana is all supposed to be gone from the shelves by now and the pharmacists are all supposed to be using the new formulation. Let us know here how you think the new stuff is working for you. Is it the same as the old stuff? IS there a coating on the new stuff that changes its effectiveness like the way the new formulation of Oxycontin did when it came out in 2010? Let...

Last week the P/A increased my dosage of Zenpep from 5,000 units a meal to 50,000 units a meal. It has not helped. I will call her tomorrow with the sad results. Does anyone taken a higher dose and, if so, did it solve the problem? ## Hi Joanne, How are you? I haven't taken Zenpep myself, but based on my research Zenpep is available in six different dosage strengths, and each one is dependent upon on what amount your healthcare provider suggests you use (since everyone's case may be different). You can also get a lot of the enzymes found in Zenpep by simply eating a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. So if you feel like it's not working as well as you think it should, then I would probably think it'd be wise to analyze your diet and see where you can make ...

I Recieved a letter saying that new law in new york can only allow 100mg a day of pain killers starting march 1st 2015? I"m on almost 800mg mixed between oxycotin and morphine has anyone else heard of this new law? ## Hello, Zack! How are you? Yes, the new limit is supposed to be no more than the equivalent of 100mgs of Morphine, per day. Have you consulted your doctor to see if they have any ideas? These new regulations have been causing problems for people all over the U.S. The FDA classifies this medication 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. ## What "law" is this that you received? In 2013, the FDA tossed out this limit or morphine equivlent as ...

My baby is 17 months old and I only have miralax that says it expired March 2013 and it's February 2015 ## Hi Lakisha, According to consumer reviews on Amazon, MiraLAX laxative powder is reported to have a 6 month shelf life. And while I realize some medications are still deemed safe to take after the expiration date, I would still encourage you to get a new one since you're using it on a 17 month old baby who's system may be more sensitive to any slight degradation in the product. I hope this helps!

Ive been on sprintec fo march april. I have not missed a dose and I have taken them on time. ## These oral contraceptives definitely effect everyone differently, but I am curious to know if sprintec has been working well for you? I was just on another thread here and noticed a lady who was taking sprintec, but was very concerned because she had missed her period by a few days or longer. Same thing happened to my gf while she was on it, although I'm fairly certain that she missed a few days of taking it.

What is this ## its a cold pill, I have it in a blister pack. it has guaifensin 200mg & phenylephrine hcl 5mg for cough and runny nose. 2 pills for a dose ## Just to update, I am not sure if the contents of this tablet were different when this post was made in 2009, sometimes the formulation and ingredients are changed. Thus, I am just going to put in the information as currently listed in March of 2013 and the listings as of this date show this tablet as solely containing 400mgs of Guaifenesin, which is an expectorant that's used to treat cold symptoms. Learn more Guaifenesin details here. There are no strict regulations regarding how often they can change the formulations and/or imprints of over the counter pills, so if at some future point someone is looking for this informat...

My job is closing and I have been on 2 & 1/2 8mg suboxone for almost 3yrs, used to be on 3 a day. Now I am also a disabled vet but the va won't give them to me. With that being said I have insurance until march and want to stock pile as many as I can. I am pretty close with my dr and am gonna ask him to at least put me back up to 3 a day so I can save some until I can figure out my insurance problems. Was wondering how many 8mg suboxone can a dr legally percribe you daily so I know what is the most I can ask him for. I am not even saying he will help me and give me mor but I got to ask cause I withdrawal is very long and horrible. I went into the va psych ward for a couple weeks and they would not give them to me and it was horrible so I am trying to prepare for the future until...

I am trying to find out where to fill my prescription for the Oxycodone HCL 30 mg #240 which I take 8 a day. I have been taking this medication for 5 to 6 years and I now have no insurance because no insurance will insure me because of my degentrative back disease which I had surgery for in March 2009 and did not help. I sitll go to Bon Secours Pain Mgmt in Portsmouth Va and have been going to for the past 10 years for this problem. I need help so I don't have to pay over $200 for this prescription.

My question concerns drug conversion. The Fentanyl works well, most of time, for my chronic pain, but my insurance now says I can only get it again in March of 2015. This is still Oct., 2014, so I will be out of patches at end of October. I don't understand this, because just stopping the patches would/will cause terrible withdrawal, because if you are only couple days late, withdrawal starts. This happened also recently as my dr. changed (at my request to try something else)100 mcg. patch to only 15 mg. of morphine ER every 12 hours, because of patches costing almost $400 for one month, which I cannot afford, due to "doughnut hole". The change made be very sick within two days, so I had to go back to patches. I didn't think the 15 mg. extended release morphine was enoug...

In March of 1983 I was given Zomax for depression and traumatic stress disorder just before I moved back to Alaska. I had been taking it for about 3 days and we were on the road. I was taking a break from driving and as we were coming into Pocatello, Idaho my husband at that time woke me up. My lips were huge and swollen and my eyes were almost swollen shut. I was also having a hard time breathing. We went straight to the emergency room in Pocatello and I was told I was going into anaphylactic shock. They administered a shot of adrenalin and said that I was lucky to have gotten there when I did and hadn't gone on to Boise before seeking treatment because there was no emergency room between Pocatello and Boise and my throat was swelling shut and I could have suffocated and died.
