Over The Counter Medicine 3 Times A Day

MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH SUFFER FROM ARTHERITIS IN OUR BACK AND HIPS..ITS SO PAINFUL ITS HARD TO WALK AT TIMES..HIS DOC TOOK HIM OFF ANTI INFLAMATORYS AND I HAVENT GOT A PRESCRIPTION OR A DOCTOR TO GET ANY.. CAN YOU BUY ANYTHING OVER THE COUNTER THAT YOU CAN TAKE..THAT IS MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED MILS? SEEMS THAT JUST DOESNT WORK FOR US..AND MOST THINGS SAY..ONLY TAKE ONE PER DAY? ## Hi, Dewsieq! Sorry about the problem that you and your husband are having. Have you tried any of the OTC medications to see if they help at their available dosages? Not every medication requires 500mgs to help with pain and you may find that something in a lower dose, such as Naproxen (Aleve) may help quite a bit. Learn more Aleve details here. But before taking anything, you do need to find a new doctor and make...

Yes, the patches are ok. If anything, they may lose some potency but it won't harm you. Many times, expiration dates are set to facilitate new purchases. ## Hello Kevin, According to the manufactures website the patches lose potency and do not become dangerous as you said, however, while there is an obvious benefit for them to have you purchase new patches that isn't the reason that they put the expiration date on the patch. Expiration dates on medicines are a requirement from the FDA even when there is no danger present from the expiration. All medicines, prescription or over the counter, should have an expiration date or best used by date. The reason the FDA does this is pretty simple, you take medicine for it to do a specific job and if it's potency has been diminished or...

Cetirizine 10mg ## This is actually a great post to have added, so thank to the person responsible. This one has been asked about several times and it has been hard to find, because it is the over the counter product, a generic or store brand for Zyrtec. It is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergy symptoms and it may cause side effects such as drowsiness and dizziness. You can learn more Zyrtec details here. Are there any questions or comments?

Hi, every morning and through the day my eyes are burning, itching, and really red. I have read up on different vitamins, but was wondering if anyone has the same problem. Thanks Clare ## Lately I have had the same problem. Although an antihistamine helps with the itching, sneezing due to allergy, my eyes are quite red. Checking with my eye doctor, he suggested that my eyes are dry due to time of year and not enough moisture, so I was advised to use lubricating eye drops about 4 times a day. Picked up over-the-counter eye drops. This has helped a lot. ## Clare, I also have to advise seeing an eye doctor, rather than guessing what's wrong and trying to treat it yourself. Your vision isn't something worth risking to guess work. It may be due to allergies and dryness, like the issu...

If it is something caused by a virus in your body, there may not be any cure or any way to prevent it from returning. For instance, while it isn't known to cause rashes on other parts of the body, there are rare times where it does happen with the Herpes Simplex virus:

Round Red in color with the letter E on it ## Is there anything else with the E on it, any other numbers or letters? Learn more Opana details here. If not, then it's not likely to be a prescription medication, it's probably something that's available over the counter. ## I switched to opana 30mg twice a day from methadone 10MG 5 TIMES a day. It did not work at all so I went back to my doctor and he gave me loritabs for breakthru pain and that did nothing. Finally, I talked the dr. Into giving me Opana 30mg twice a day and opana 10mg fast acting. This combination has changed my life!!! Neither medication works at all unless I take both. It kinda works like the combination of loritabs and somas did when I first started taking pills when I first hurt my back years ago. It works...

Round White Pill has m on one side and 211 on the other side ## I'm sorry, I've searched for this several times since I first saw your post, but I'm not finding anything that matches this. Where did you find it? If it's an over the counter product, some of those are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? I'll keep looking and post back when I have information for you.

capital A b .the b has a square around it .IT IS ROUND AND WHITE ## I'm sorry, I've searched for this in various prescription medication databases, but I've been unable to find a match, so far. Where did you find it? I'm suspicious that it's something that's available over the counter and some of those are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? I'll post back, when I have information for you. ## I found the same white tablet with Ab within a square on both sides of the tablet. Likely purchased in mid-Michigan. What is it? Acid reducer, pain med, or anti-inflamitory? ## If it was bought from GNC it is Anatabloc which is an anti inflammatory. Take one to two tablets three times daily. The fo...

Could the oral liquid be used to treat yeast on the outer part of the labia? Monistat seems to be clearing the inside but the outside has yeast as well (from antibiotics for pneumonia) i have nystatin liquid left from a previous time i had oral thrush from an antibiotic. Was curious if it could be applied to that external area? ## Hello, Jm! How are you? No, you shouldn't use it like that, it may contain ingredients that are irritating to the labia and may create more problems. There are many products available over the counter to treat the outer yeast infection, they are usually a cream that you rub on several times a day, so you can pick up one of those, if your doctor approves. The FDA lists its typical side effects as including redness and dry skin. Is there anything else I can ...

I have a supposed xanax bar here. It is scored 3 times and has the 2 on one. Side...but on the other side, nothing completely flat. can someone help.me out idenfifing it. I have a feeling its some other benzo pressed but if anyone has any info help a brotha out. ## I can't tell you what it is... But I can tell you what it isn't.... It isn't xanax.... Not at all... ## Throw it away at once ## @dramaheated, If you need a third opinion on the matter, I'd have to agree with the two previous comments that it probably isn't real; nor is it worth the risk of taking. A legitimate version of this pill should also have the word "x|an|a|x" embedded on the other side as well. Anything different than this is a red flag for being counterfeit. Is this something you could...

After walking down a stretch of county hwy at the age of 14 , out of nowhere an old hull size ran truck hits me , throws me so many yards, finally landing on top of me, after being presumed dead. I was revived multiple times. i was told i would be brain dead, id never walk. It would be pure miracle if i were to even live. I've been on many pain medications in the past , but come to a point that i would try to deal with the pain cold turkey, big mistake.. Hydrocodone doesn't help nor does the 100's of over the counter medications I've tried. Being hospitalized and developing seizures over time because of scar tissue a monitor left on my brain, i still continue to break and fracture my back during seizure activity. Iv'e has my seizures under control through diet and rarel

I have a round white pill with FR on one side and Double scored on the other. Blue specks are inside the pill. ## I've tried searching for this several times, since I first read your post, but I haven't found anything that matches. The fact that the imprint is rather vague leads me to suspect that this is most likely an over the counter product of some type. Where was it found? Some products are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I found one of the same pills on the bottom of one of my shoes. it scares me to death.. I have a 19 month old walking around picking things up all the time. I have no idea where this came from! ## it's Excedrin, caffeine, asprin, tylenol. Nothing major, but wouldn't wa...

The doctor put me on because he said that my blood presure had been 140-150 over 86 -92 for awhile now I take a vigara 100mg about one time every four-five weeks. I am 64 and very active. Can I still take the vigara ## Hello, BobbyB! How are you? What are your blood pressure readings with the Chlorthalidone? The Viagra can also lower it, so it's really going to depend on that. Did you ask your doctor about it? The Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body, so you will most likely experience increased urination and possibly dehydration. ## Hi any guys tried the female vigara the pink pill. I had some left over from a ex and i had one wow three or more times stronger than the male counterpart anyone know why

Suprep tastes awful and causes some discomfort for about an hour each round, but it effectively cleans the colon. A yearly cleansing of this sort seems like it would be beneficial to colon health and getting rid of toxins. Not sure though if it is safe and if any physician would prescribe it in this way or if it is even permitted. Any medical professionals who could answer this? ## Hello, Magpie! How are you? No, they would not. There are reasons it is a prescription only product that is only intended to be used for cleansing before certain procedures. If you wish to detoxify and cleanse at other times, there are safer products you can use, many of which are available over the counter. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago, and I'm having one tom...

I have been taking Adderall IR 30mg twice a day for years. In the past, I've noticed that some generics seemed to work better than others but it wasn't anything I couldn't live with. On Friday, my pharmacy filled my RX with a generic I had not seen before. I noticed on Sat that I wasn't feeling well. I felt very fatigued, tired, no energy. On Sunday, it was worse. Then today it was impossible! I felt like I had taken a sleeping pill. I could not stay awake! I fell asleep, wherever and whenever I became still. I fell asleep, three times, at my kitchen counter. I woke up and my head was literally on the kitchen counter. I fell asleep on the toilet while going pee multiple times. It finally occurred to me to look up this generic adderall. When I saw that it's manufactur...

i found a strage pill in my apartment it is pink oblong and imprinted with carol-f ## I'm sorry, but I cannot find anything on this, at all. Are you quite certain of the marking? It is possibly something over the counter or from a foreign country, which could explain why it isn't in any of our databases. Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere? ## It is a pain pill marketed in Korea ## It is Ibuprofen (200mg) and Arginine, a combination that is reported to be better than Ibuprofen alone. It is marketed extensively in Korea, as noted above. The usual dosage prescribed is two pills, three times a day.

What does it do? ## hi going to sharm in egypt for 2 weeks , went last year and had the dodgy stomach. Can you take anything before you get it as a preventative? ## We spent 3-1/2 weeks in Egypt in September. After the first few days we started to have queasy stomachs and my husband had diarrhea for 3 days. Immodium didn't help him, although Pepto Bismol did calm my stomach a bit. A pharmacist in Aswan recommended Drotazide and it worked wonders. We took it 3 times a day for a couple of days to clear things up. Then once a day as a preventative measure and our stomachs were fine for the rest of the trip. Drotazide is over the counter in Egypt. Buy it and take a tablet once a day as soon as you can. Taking it, we were able to eat fresh fruit and use ice cubes with no bad consequences...

just want to know the generic of zynapse ## Zynapse contains the active ingredient Citicoline, so that is also what many generics would be under, though some generic companies will also give it a branded name. It is used to help with memory and cognitive problems.

To be completely honest, in the U.S. it is isn't considered an actual drug and is available over the counter in many energy supplements, so it is rare for a doctor to recommend it here. Thus...
