Open 20

So I've been lurking around here for a while when I saw someone say fruta planta contained 18 mg of sibutramine. Now I looked up what the highest dosage a doctor could give a patient and apparently, it only goes up to 15 mg. That kinda freaked me out since I've already bought the pills and I'm still desperate to shed some pounds. Then I remembered how as a kid, my mom would tear open capsules that I have a tough time swallowing and just mix it with yogurt. Can't I just do the same and pour half the contents of the pill into yogurt or something? Will it cause any side affects? Cause worst case scenario, nothing happens and I still get hungry. ## Sibutramine is dangerous in any amount. It was pulled from the market in the U.S., Canada and most other countries back in 2010 ...

PHENOL EZ SWADS-WHAT IS EXPIRATION DATE ## When were they purchased? The expiration date on anything is going to vary, depending on manufacturing date, whether the packaging has been opened and etc. If the information you posted in your subject line is from the packaging, that would designate that they expired in 2009.

Can I use an open liquid amoxicillin for a 2 year old that I got on 11/03/2016? He's been messing with one of his ears. ## Hi Sara, I see you posted this back on December 28th 2016 so you may have already come to a consensus on what to do... But I would say that if it has been left open for nearly two months or longer then that's probably not something I would recommend taking. Liquid solutions in particular I believe are more susceptible to going bad than tablets. Not to mention that any impurities might have made their way into the open bottle during that time period. I also think the effort to get a fresh antibiotic will ultimately be worth while, to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment. My best wishes to you and your son!

I take oxycodone for breakthrough. I have been asking so many times and only hear about open a. Please tell me what I should ask my doctor for. Thanks ## Hi Sue, There is no generic Oxycodone Extended-Release that's currently available (at least in the US). Only brand-name "Oxycontin" & "Xtampza ER" fit this role for the time being. There may be other brands as well, but in the US those are the only two I'm presently aware of.

I received a prescription for seconal 100mg in 2006. It has not been opened and kept in the dark. What are the chances that it is still active? If it is not 100% active can you estimate it's activity? Could it be 50% active? Thank you. ## Hello, Jack! How are you? Is it in a bottle from your pharmacy, or the original factory sealed bottle? If it's in a pharmacy bottle, then that does count as being opened, since it was removed from the original container and it would have expired one year from the date of dispensing. And no, I can't even guess at the level of effectiveness that may remain, but I doubt its much, if any. It would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. ## The seconal is in an official looking container from Ranbaxy Pharmaceutical...

Ok. I know that they are obviously safe to consume- BUT I put one open and not only is my mouth numb, it is on FIRE and nothing so far (15 min) is helping it subside.... Any ideas? Am I ok or did I burn my mouth? Like wtf!? Thank you. ## Mandy, The ib 200 orange gel pill you consumed is an ibuprofen used for pain relief. Before getting into the details I want to state that it is never advisable to administer medication in a way that is not instructed. Getting to the point, because our stomachs are acidic the capsules have a very strong base to ensure your stomach does not destroy the active ingredients in the medicine to perform their function. The base used in this gel pill has a "burning" sensation that should subside over time with no permanent damage. I very strongly advise ...

Never open this bottle, brand new. Can I still use this? Expiration date is 3/2014 ## Hello, Sha! How are you?

Is there powder or beads in the S489 20mg capsules? ## Hi cricket, Since there aren't any photos online showing these capsules being open, I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to contact the manufacturer directly about this. If it helps any I went ahead and posted the manufacturer's contact page below: shire.com/shireplc/en/contactus Manufacturer: Shire US Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 59417-0102 Do you happen to have any of these pills in your on hand? If so, I'd even try shaking it to see what kind of sound it makes. You can generally tell the difference from powder vs beads in this manner. Hope this helps! ## Hmmm, I see a photo on this site of the capsules but unfortunately they are not transparent so I cannot tell what is actually inside them. Found the pic...

Yes my son had these pills a peach color pill z 2083, it was like 75mg. Are these usually abused, and how dangerous is it? Should I take him to doctor or punish him? ## Hydrochlorothiazide is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is not subject to the Controlled Substances Act either. Unless your son is experiencing weird side effects after taking the pill, I wouldn't think he would need to go to the doctor. Does your son have high blood pressure? It's not anyone's say so except yours, to state whether or not you should punish your own kid for his actions. From an outsider's perspective it might be a good idea to sit down and have a talk with him to get some answers. In the end, he will tell you what he wants to tell you, but being open with h...

Where can I find the drawing salve, dark brown in color, 20% strength, that comes in a tube? ## I am looking for the tube of ichthammol salve that came in a blue/green tube and had a tar smell to it . It was almost black in color and would ooze out of the tube when you opened it ## Drawing ointments containing ichthammol are still available from various manufacturers, though I don't know if the specific one that you're talking about is still on the market. To name a few you can find Trimol, Prid by Hyland's, and Christopher's Black Ointment. I see it available many places online. Have you tried checking for it at any of your local stores?

My pills are 28 months old, I wonder if there are still good ## It is highly likely that they have lost effectiveness and aren't worth taking, by now. The expiration date is usually one year from when they are dispensed to you by your pharmacy and the original container was opened, so they have been exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light and moisture. At 28 months old, that means they are over another year past the original expiration date. Learn more Celebrex details here. Are there any other comments or questions? ## The experation date on all perscription medication is a year after the date it's written. But most medications are still good well after that date especially if they were stored in a freezer or refrigerator. This is from a study the mi...

I received my prescribed kadian in the factory sealed bottle. It did not appear to have been tampered with. However,I noticed several times I got no relief from my medication after taking it but did not think much of it until I noticed one night as I went to take my kadian it did not sound right, kadian had small round bead type substance inside a capsule and when shaken they make a defiant sound. My capsule made no sound so my mother and I checked the entire bottle and found two more made no sound, we opened each of them one capsule was completely empty, and the other two contained a sugar like substance and cotton like material.has anyone else had kadian or medication from Actavis that was tampered with. ## The capsules are supposed to contain little pellets, as you described.
