Only 1 Week Take Pills

I had just gotten prescribed these but when I first started I had accidentally started by taking the Tuesday first which is a pill with the b on it instead of the 987 on the Sunday like I was suppose to. Well today I took Monday which was another b one because I saw it went two b's in a row trying to get it back on track. I was wondering if I just go in a row after Tuesday do I need to use a back up form of birth control for an additional day or an additional week ## Actually, if you look, they all have a b on one side, and the number on the other, they are just facing different directions in the packaging, but the pills are all the same. There is no specific day that you need to take any of the blue active tablets, you just need to make sure to take one, each day, at approximately ...

So I just found out after 5 months into taking this birth control that the white pills are active. I didn’t take the white pills last month and had my period and then started my new pack but also did unprotected intercourse during the first week of the new pack. Now by the end of the pack, I only took one white pill and my period didn’t come. And I just now started my new pack and my period still didn’t come. Also there were some times that I took some pills late by an hour or two and did have some spotting during the 3rd week of the pack and one single spotting during the white pillbut that’s it. And no more bleeding after that. Could I be pregnant? ## Sorry I didn’t mention this before but I’ve been taking lo loestrin fe the past 5 months. And would...

Tri-sprintec pack of birth control pills my daughter just started this month. She got to the 4th row of white pills and stopped taking the pills. I think she thinks they are sugar pills. What is in the 4th row, should she take the 7 days of white ones? She only missed 2. TX! ## Yes, they are essentially sugar pills. She should take them just as a reminder tho; she may remember this time, but over the months/years one could forget... ## That is correct, they are placebo pills that are meant to keep her in the habit of taking them. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I have a very rare form of non hodgkins lymphoma t cell. I'm taking 10 Methotrexate pills weekly. I was wondering about side effects. I was on a much larger dose but my body couldn't handle it. ## The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, joint pain, diarrhea, cough, and drowsiness. Are you on any other medications? How long have you been taking it?

Hi my name is ne ne I'm taking Amoxicillin 875 Augmentin for a urinary tract infection my doctor told me to take one pill a day for two weeks. Is that okay will it still kill the urinary tract infection. The type of bacteria that they found in my cultures was strep. ## Yes, this is a broad spectrum antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of infections and this is one of the antibiotics that are preferred for eradicating strep. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was just diagnosed as hiv positive and went to an HIV specialist who has prescribed Atripla. My viral load was high and cd4 count at something like 220k. I have had some side affects, but not too intolerable. I am dizzy in the am. Can I expect more side effects or would I have had them by now. ## 2 weeks on Atripla now, and I have not experienced the weird dreams that I was warned about. I do get a bit dizzy but since I take the pill at night, that does not matter - in fact it's a relaxing high. In a couple of days I will get my next blood test, and I'm hoping that the T's and viral load will be going in the right direction! I'm almost apprehensive, because I have not experienced any of the dire side effects that I have read about. ## Medications can affect everyone di...

small pinkish round pill. #S over/820. Given for high blood pressure for 2 weeks. Want to know if its just a water pill or will help with pressue.

Carr ## this is a water pill i take it along with lisinopril for blood pressure if you take it alone then your pressure must be related to water retention my doctor prescribed it to me along with lisinopril saying this water pill will help with water retention that might be forming around your heart which can also cause a slight elevated blood pressure ## Water can be held in the body in other areas, not just the heart, which can increase your sodium content and result in higher blood press...

For the past 2 months, my period has started 1 or 2 days before the light blue inactive pills. Is this normal? ## Hello, Jenn! How are you? Yes, that can happen and is generally nothing to worry about, as long as your most recent pap smear was normal. Unless your doctor feels that there is some reason to be concerned. Aside from breakthrough bleeding, the FDA lists the other side effect of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm on my 3rd week, getting ready to do 2 pills in the morning one in the evening. I was wondering if I should tAke the 2pills in the morning together or maybe an hour apart. I have been doing ok on he pills so far, I do feel werid some days. So I'm a little scared to up the dosage ## Hello, Christie! How are you? They should be taken together, at the same time. What do you mean by saying that you feel weird? Could you please be more specific? Thanks! The FDA lists the typical side effects of Contrave as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and insomnia.

I was prescribed 30 percocet and was told to take 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed...how many days is that suppose to last if i am taking them every 5 hours for pain? ## Hello, Jona! How are you? How many days supply does your pharmacy list it as being? The issue here is that it's an 'as needed' prescription and not a strict dosing schedule, so apparently your doctor thinks you'll only need to take one occasionally, so they may expect it to last a few weeks, or as long as a month. 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. When is your next appointment?

I started a new pack. But then like a week later I couldn't find it so I decided to take the pills from another new packet I had. Then I found my original pack but decided to stick with the second one. I tried to remind myself that because I had a different pack I had to remember that when it is supposed the last four days of a pack, I need to take the white and brown ones. Just forgot about it. So the last four days I took blue pills. And now I am starting a brand new pack. So basically the last month was all blue pills. And I wont take white or brown ones until the end of my new packet. Is this bad? ## No, many women do this on purpose to skip their menstrual cycle at times it would be inconvenient to have their periods, such as for a long planned vacation or wedding. It is basica...

I started Lo Loestrin FE for heavy bleeding. I'm on third month but I messed up and was trying not to get a period at all so I was only taking the green pills, none of the white or brown. Into the second week of pack 3 my breasts started getting really sore and now I started bleeding and have been bleeding for 6 days. Dr. says continue on pack 3 and take ALL pills and then start pack 4 and hopefully that will correct itself. Does anyone know how long the bleeding will go on? Its not break through bleeding, it is a period flow. ## It's still considered break through bleeding, it all is, when you take hormonal contraceptives, you don't get a regular/real cycle at all. It may take a week or longer, but if you finish another pack and there is no change, then you should contact y...

I don't take suboxone everyday, just a half of a quarter every 3 to 4 days for about a week or week and a half now. So plz someone tell me if it will be out of mine and the baby's system by the time of birth? I am due Oct.15th, 2015. Plz and thanks. I am a first time mom and I try not to hurt me or my child and I don't want cps involved in anything. I just need advice. ## It would be best, for your safety and that of your baby, to inform your doctor that you've taken it and get proper medical assistance. I understand that you're scared, but you could be putting both of your lives at risk by not telling them.

I am asking this question for my mom...she has been on IC metoprol Tartrate for a month...now her doc put her on IC Lisinopril...she has always been healthy and now feels terrible...can she just stop taking these pills since she hasnt been on them very long? thankyou ## Has she consulted her doctor? Even though she's only been taking them for a short time, there could still be some dangerous rebound effects, such as elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Her doctor, however, will be able to help her switch to something else that may not cause her as many problems, in a safe manner. ## She hasn't consulted her doctor yet...She wants to take a more natural route.

I just realized i never took the two white pills from my last pill pack (lot going on). But i had my period so no worries and was going to just start my next pill pack sunday. However, i did not foresee my dr messing up (long story but will be switching dr.s) so, I was unable to get prescription filled until wednesday; 4 days after I was to begin taking the first pill. So doubling up wed, thurs and fri. I will use another form of b.c. for the next few weeks but am a bit worried that sunday I did not use backup (since I didnt know at the time I wouldnt b able to get b.c. that day). Just wondering how plausible getting pregnant would b because of this scenario? ## Hello, Chris! How are you? There is a slight risk, so if you don't get your next period, you'll want to look into the ...
