I'm currently on Percocet 7.5/325 mgs. I was in a accident which broke my ankle and lots of metal had to be put in my leg. The pain meds are no longer working which is causing me to take more than prescribed, which is causing nausea, etc. What should I tell the Dr. to get prescribed Roxys? ## I am sorry that you're in so much pain! You should just be honest with your doctor and tell them that this medication in this dosage is no longer alleviating your pain. But, it would be best not to ask for a specific medication, because that could make them think you're drug seeking. It's best to just let them know and allow them to decide on an appropriate solution. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause...

Can I take my suboxone with this medicine ## There can be a slight issue when taking the Suboxone with the Promethazine in the Phenergan, because they can both cause depression of the central nervous system and it may actually potentiate the Buprenorphine in the Suboxone and make it seem like you took a higher dose than usual. Learn more Promethazine details here. Learn more Dextromethorphan details here. Learn more Suboxone details here. So, the dosages of the medications should be carefully adjusted and you should be monitored regularly to watch for any problems. You should also be made aware of the necessity of watching for any danger signs on your own, such as shallow breathing, dizziness and extreme sedation. Have these all been prescribed for you?

My father is 87 years old has diabetes type 1 but well controlled. He is also bedridden because his thigh bone got fracture and joined with metal support 2 years ago. He eats less amount so we treat him with some cakes or fresh fruit juice which are not very sweet. But he could not eat well since 4 days ago after he relieved from sickness. He is very weak and bp is 136/65. Blood sugar in fasting is around 200. We live far from the city and rare to see doctors. The nurse from our town asked the doctor for this case and he gave cypro 2 tablets. My father could not sleep well also. Is it ok if he takes this medicine and I also want to know the dosage. Thank you very much. ## I am having problems with my sleep cycle. Although I'm very sleepy I can't get a good night's sleep. I...

I have been taking 1,500mg of MSM in the morning and 1,500mg in the afternoon for the past two weeks. I was wondering if I could take 3,000 or 4,000mg in the morning and the same in the afternoon. I am taking it for psoriasis. It has helped some with joint pain, but not at all for my skin. Has anyone bumped the dosage up to 6,000mg or 8,000mg in divided dosage daily? ## MSM is actually just a nutritional supplement and I have never heard of it actually helping with any type of skin issues, though it is naturally present in joints and supplementing it can help with such problems, for some people. That said, the general maximum recommended daily amount is 4.000mgs in equal divided daily doses. Have you consulted your doctor about how much you should use?

I am on 40mg of Lisinipril and 50 mg of metroprolol. BP was high so I went from 25 to 50 metroprolol. 50 making me feel dizzy and light headed. 25 was good. Doc say take every thing in the morning but I am wondering if I can take the extra 25mg of metroprolol in the pm before bed so I do not feel so bad during the day ## Normally, such side effects will wear off after a few weeks, after your body adjusts to the new dosage. However, if the symptoms are that problematic then splitting the dosages can be a good thing to do, but you should check with your doctor first to make sure it is okay for you to do so. Learn more Metoprolol details here. In many cases, doctors prescribe them to be taken at once, to avoid someone forgetting to take their medications, which often happens when they are ...

Please tell me what kind. Of pill is a lortab367 I was getting the lortab10/500mg.is this the same kind of medicine ## Hello, Sheila! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to clear this up for you. The tablet with the M 367 marking is listed as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic for Lortab. Learn more Lortab details here. So, it is the same as what you were taking, but has a lower amount of Acetaminophen in it. Generally, if you've been taking it for awhile, your doctor will lower the dose of the Acetaminophen, due to the fact that long-term use of high amounts of it may cause liver damage, or liver failure. But, did your doctor mention changing the dosage? They should have informed you, if so. In a few months, all formul...

Is 270mgs a lot more than137mgs ## Hello, John! How are you? Synthroid is dosed in micrograms, not milligrams. But yes, that's almost twice the dosage. Has your doctor prescribed this amount?

Dr. prescibed me this tablet for controlling Cholestrol. Is it a life long drug? ## I only want to know is whether I can discontinue the medicine which is prescribed to me for maintenance of Cholesterol level as normal if I find that I have normal level of bad cholesterol. ## Rasiklal, it depends. Zivast is reported to contain the active ingredient Atorvastatin (the US brand equivalent is Lipitor). For many, stopping the drug won't be a problem, but should be done with the guidance of their physician. However, a 2005 study by the American Heart Association documented a rebound effect in certain patients who had an ischemic stroke. With that said, it is recommended that you work with your doctor on reducing the dosage or discontinuing the medication since they are most familiar with ...

When prescribed most common drugs you either are given one tablet 3 times a day or one tablet 4 times a day to take . I was told that tablets are taken on a 12 hour cycle if so that would mean one tablet 3 times a day would be one every 4 hours (3 x 4 =12) so one 4 times a day would be one every 3 hours (4 x 3 = 12) IS THIS CORRECT. Thank you ## what is the dosage of daflon 500 mg? is it twice a day? ## Should I take 2 tablets at a time or 4? ## Each pill is 3MG. I was told to take 4 pills a day. So, should take all 4 together , 2 and 2. I am talking about taking Stromectol 3 MG ## I was in the DR in September. Started itching end of October. Still itching.

I am taking 7.5 mg of mobic once a day and my dr. increased the dosage to 15mg. once a day. Wouldn't it be better to take 1 7.5mg in the a.m. and another 7.5mg in the early evening ? ## My question is the same as Jan's. Can I take 7.5 mg bid for better relief and coverage. I take 15 mg in am and then by night time, the pain is severe again and I cannot sleep. ## yes you can take 1 7.5 in the am and one in the pm. In doing so you will be able to keep the med in your system and it will work threw out the day versus it only helping for part of the day. Also it takes up to three week for a med to be in you system well enough to help you actually start to feel the full effects. ## It really depends on what works for you, I split up most of my medications and take them more than once ...

I had a total thyroidectomy a little over a year ago followed by radioactive iodine just to be sure it was all dead and gone. Before my thyroid cancer I was in pretty good shape as I am a college athlete. Since the surgery I have gained 20 to 30 pounds. People said once I got my tsh levels right I would lose the weight but I only stopped gaining, not losing. My doctor sais they are where they need to be and I am done going up but I do not feel much better than I did before. I still have the fatigue, constipation, extreme heartburn, and brain fog. Is this permanent or are my levels really off and just not showing? HELP! I'm still in college and my grades are really taking a hit from all this! ## Well, you did not say what dosage you were on and this site is not medical professionals,...

MY DR PRESCRIBED ME THE 2.5mg xanax and while in research for my college for a project on narcotics and the effect they have on the younger nation i found out that they are only 1mg is this something i should be worried about thank you in ahead of time shy guy ## Are you sure your doctor didn't prescribe you .025mg? I don't believe xanax comes in 2.5mg. I believe xanax comes in .025mg, .05mg 1mg and 2mg. Extended xanax can be 1, 2 and 3mg However I am not a doctor so this is only my opinion...What I do feel comfortable telling you is call your doctor ASAP, because if I am right, the pharmacist may have given you the wrong dose, ## I think , If you are starting out on Xanax, it should be a 0.25 Mg I thought a 2 Mg bar was the biggest they make. I could be wrong about that. Try to...

Can i take a 2 mg bar and half or whole at the same time? i feel nothing from the 2 mg bar! ## What are you expecting to feel from it? The FDA classifies this medication as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. But, it really doesn't cause a high or anything in most people that take it. It should have an effect similar to sedation. And no, in the regular release, 2mg is the maximum dose recommended, at once. However, if it isn't working for you, at all, you should speak to your doctor, because there is a 3mg time released one that you can try. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yeah but you probably wouldn't feel the 3 mg XR either. Hey Verwon you never answe...
