One A Day For Woman

My dermatologist prescribed me 12 tabs of prednisone at 5mg for the first 5 days, then 8 tabs at 5mg for 5days, then 4 tabs at 5mg for 5 days, then 2 tabs at 5mg for 5 days, then 1 tab at 5mg for 5 days, then 0.5mg for 5 days, then stop. Should I be worried about the high dosage in the beginning of my dosage? Please Help? ## Hello, Yvonne! How are you? For some conditions that is how it's done, a high dose for awhile, which is then slowly tapered, so yes, this is normal. It is the tapering that is important, if you're on it for more than 5 days. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you :) ## I'm not a doctor, but I'll second the point regarding tapering. I was on a dose of 40mg 1 day, then 20 mg 6 days, then stop and I had some major side effects after I stop...

My mother was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and that is why she can't walk.

I had been given a doxytet pill and anaerobyl pill by a nurse and it has been 4 months of missing my period; and I'm quit not sure whether I'm pregnant. ## Hello, Thabile! How are you? No, it would be best to be checked for pregnancy, before taking it, it has been known to cause harm to the fetus, so it is best to be careful, according to the U.S. FDA. Even if the child isn't harmed, there is a risk of it causing them permanent dental discoloration in the future. Is there anything else I can help with?

A purple pill with no imprints or scores on it and wrapped on its own ## Are there any markings or names on the packaging? If there are no markings on the tablet, then it is going to be difficult to determine what this contains. There are several supplement products on the market, for women, that meet this description. ## Its a light purple candy coated oblong pill about the size of a jellybean no imprints/markings ## What is a large light purple tablet with no markings?

Please I've been trying to get pregnant for sometime now but to no avail and I was advised that because my blood group is B- i might not be able to get pregnant so I should take either pro-woman or primolut N for sometime before I can get pregnant. Please I'm really confuse because I've been taking folic acid for the past 4 months but still it's not working.

the drug im looking up i actually got in a shot at the hospital when i was pregnant with my son. i cant remember the name of it because they told me the name AFTER they gave it to me and i was totally out of it. but i know it starts with an N ## nalbuphine hydrochloride < thats the name of it. i found it all by myself lol. ## If it was for pain it was probably Nubaine. It's sometimes used in birthing centers for pain as well and doesn't pose a danger to the fetus (well, not as opposed to some of the others...) ## Way to go! It is sometimes hard to remember what many of these are called. My husband just had surgery and it was hard for me to keep straight what medications he was given.

Does it work & if so what dosage for an adult healthy woman. Thank you. ## Hi Vivian, I honestly think it's worth trying and seeing how it works for you. There's a lot of information on Dr. Oz regarding it's uses: doctoroz.com/videos/miracle-fat-burner-bottle "The recommended dose is 100mg per day. To get the same benefit from the whole fruit, you'd have to consume 90 pounds of raspberries." I hope this helps!

86 year old woman been prescribed 8 x 5mg tablets a day for a week can they be evened out over the day or do they have to be taken in one go ## Hi, Lyn! If her doctor didn't specify otherwise, she should be able to split them up throughout the day. Many times people are just told to take them all at once to make sure they don't forget to take the next dose later. It's been proven through medication compliance testing that people will usually remember to take one dose, but subsequent ones are typically forgotten. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and fluid retention. Learn more Prednisone details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

i took primolut _N for one week (3 time a day).when can i expect my period.plz help ## HI, Megha! How are you? Unfortunately, there's no way anyone can answer that for you. Everyone is different, so the dosage that worked for one woman may not work for you. If you are very low in progesterone, it may not have been a high enough dose, or you may not have been on it long enough to kick start your cycle. Alternatively, if you're low in estrogen for some reason, then this wouldn't be the right hormone to kick start your cycle. What has your doctor advised? ## Ive been taking Primolutnor for 10 days now and just stopped 2 days ago. When should I be expecting my menstrual cycle? ## 31st july onwards i took primolut-nor 5mg tables dialy once.but 6th august i got the period and also...

Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids,&#91;1&#93; many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals.&#91;2&#93; Isoflavones are produced almost exclusively by the members of the bean family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae).
