Medications

Dear Sirs, I will express my medical story what happened to me since Nov. 1998 when I had my fist car accident at 5.30 am going to work when two young ones send me off the 2 lane road and scratch my car all the way across. Was a phone nearby and I did call 911 and told them what happened. The same time the two young ones did called 911 further up and the police came from their side first and after to me. They did ask me to take me to the hospital when the ambulatory service came and everybody else but I did refuse because I had no insurance that time. I did got a Doctor to help me with massages for six weeks and after that I did returned back to work. A week later as I remember I did pic-up two ladies from the airport and I did called the office that I am on my way in . The office was 2...

Can i take Nyqil Severe Cold and Flu with CTM 4mg tablet ## Hello, Esther! How are you? You likely shouldn't mix them, since the Nyquil also contains an antihistamine, you'd basically be doubling up on it and that could result in overdose. The Nyquil contains Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Doxylamine and Phenylephrine, so it really contains all you need, if your doctor approves of you taking it. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, nervousness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

My sister took a 65mg Darvon little pink capsule. She was frantic with pain from a toothache. I am stressed.. it was from 2010.. Is it ok..? She seems fine, but I know they are discontinued! ## Did she suffer any adverse effects? She will most likely be okay, but should make sure to inform her doctor that she took it. They were pulled from the market due to the fact that they were found to cause a high risk of cardiac dangers, as well as an inordinate number of overdose deaths. However, the cardiac problems usually only occurred while someone was taking it and they resolved upon discontinuation. 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 constipat...

My mom was in the hospital for 2 weeks. diagnosis aphib and broncitis. She has been out of the hospital for 3 weeks. The physical therapist has quit coming because he said she does great. There is a home health nurse that comes twice a week. We have been taking her out to her great grandsons football games on saturdays and they are long days. She gets up in the morning has 1 cup decaffe coffee, toast with peanut butter while reading her newspaper then goes back to bed and would sleep all day if someone didnt wake her. I am concerned that the meds she is taking are causing this tiredness all the time. She used to take 30 minute walks twice a day and I realize she was in the hospital but she doesnt seem to be trying. She is on oxygen - but we have been trying to ween her off it per the in...

I take my Linzess in the morning, I love it. I was wondering if I could take the rest of my morning medication at the same time as I take the Linzess? I see no food or drink for 30 minutes but other than that... ## What other medications do you take? I'm sorry, but I'll need more details in order to answer your question. ## Strattera and verapamil are the two main ones that get me going in the morning, also I take vitamin D, magnesium, tramadol, meloxicam, and biotin. I have dysautonomia so the strattera and verapamil are important for get up and go.

I go to ER 1-2x/mo for pain. Always same "cocktail" - Dilaudid, Toradol, Zofran, & Ativan. Works like a charm and I am usually in/out in about 3-4 hours. Only IV delivery seems to be effective. Doc would like me to be able to get these meds in some other way than ER due to excessive cost but can't seem to find a place willing to administer. Is there are reason I couldn't learn to do it at home? Would home health be an option? Is home health ever "on call?" ## Hello I am in the process of getting a pain pump but I have been hearing a lot about this homecare stuff and they come in and give you your meds I am 35 and not really thrilled about the pain pump but I can not hold on to my meds cause I always run out its not cause I take dubble or triple the amount at ...

I went back and she put me on benzonatate for a cough OK my question is I think I'm trying to catch a cold, is it safe to take night time cold and flu med. With the other meds I'm taking? ## Hello, Patricia! How are you? It depends which medication you want to take, not all of them contain the same ingredients. For instance, many of them use Diphenhydramine in the night time ones, which could be too sedating if taken with the other medications. Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects. Benzonatate may cause side effects, such as constipation, diz...

is ip109 the same as watson 853 ## Hello, Jamie! How are you? The tablet with the IP 109 marking contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The tablet with the WATSON 853 marking contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of the Acetaminophen. So, the dosages are different. 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.

Why are brand name medicine so expensive even with good ensurance ## Hi janet, Good question. In my personal opinion, brand name medications (as well as some generics) have become extremely (and unnecessarily) expensive due to the fact that the big pharmaceutical companies know that so many patients are dependent on the medications that they manufacture. They take advantage because they can... I wish it weren't true, but I believe this is the viewpoint of many others. I imagine that some medications are expensive because of their ingredients and the time it took to create them, however it is out of control now and there are so many expensive medications that contain ingredients which lead to serious reactions and even death in some cases. I personally stand by alternative and homeop...

Thanks for your time. ## sir i have one question about floic acid .the question is any men can use this prodect pls give reply back in my yahoo id ## pls i want know about this prodect if men take any problem comes ## To the first poster, Katy, no, unless your doctor has told you to take a higher amount, you should use only the recommended dosage of it, during pregnancy. It is an essential nutrient and a lack of it can cause birth defects, but too much of it can also be dangerous. Carmo, no, this is nothing more than a nutritional supplement, Folic Acid is vital to the overall health of our bodies. It is not specific to ...
