A new supplement called Prodovite $85 for one bottle (one month supply) liquid. Anybody heard anything on this one? ## @Jww, From what I could gather, Prodovite appears to be a liquid multivitamin and mineral solution. I've never taken it myself, but did notice that there were a few reviews scattered throughout google - Not much else unfortunately. The makers of Prodovite refer to it as a breakthrough in daily nutrition, but honestly, all I'm seeing are slick marketing tactics and not much substance to these claims. Personally I wouldn't gamble with my money on it due to a lack of reviews and the product's nutrition label doesn't stand out as anything spectacular [coming from someone who's tried numerous multivitamin brands, it doesn't compete very well]. I a...

This tablet is bigger than a 0.5mil zanex it looks a bit worn but I can still see the numbers on one sideA New . On other side. 711 isall i can see its peach ## Hello, Donna! How are you? From the color, I think there may have originally been an R on the other side, so this could be a 60mg Isosorbide tablet, it's used to treat heart conditions such as angina. Headaches are its most common side effect. Is there anything else I can help with?

I want to know of any overall study of side effects from long term 5mg dose finasteride ## Further to my initial message above: I am a 90 year old man in UK. I have had severe prostate enlargement and my GP suggested treatment with finasteride plus, initially, fesoterodine. The fesoterodine was stopped after a few months, but I have now been on Finasteride 5mg for a year. The result has been excellent as regards my prostate. I read as much as I could find about any side effects of finasteride, but it seems that it is overwhelmingly used for premature hair loss. In my case I have experienced the following: Development of quite marked breasts, firm and curved, with nipples that harden and stick out if stimulated. Deposit of unusual pattern of fat around the lower belly and inner thighs. I...

I noticed an immediate improvement in overall feelings of lethargy after starting on Axiron. My overall energy was restored and feelings of tiredness that I'd experienced for years were finally over. The only negative side effects are the increase of body hair. Noticeable increase in underarm hair growth, pubic hair growth and chest hair distribution. My stomach was smooth prior to Axiron, now it's hairy. Also, my whiskers/beard are more coarse since being on Axiron. ## Hello, Scott! How are you? I'm glad that it's working so well for you. Other side effects that you may experience, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include skin irritation, redness, rash, irritability and headache. Are there any questions or comments?

Overall this medication & dosage is effective reducing chronic pain. However, occasionally I have severe breakthrough pain. Does anyone have experience or recommendations of a secondary medication that would be effective reducing the breakthrough pain. Having taken this higher dosage of Oxycontin for so long, I'm having difficulty finding a medication strong enough to reduce this occasional, severe breakthrough pain. ## Ask your doc about adding methadone altho its a pain for withdrawing from alot of docs add it for breakthrew pain. ## @Kev, Something else to keep in mind is that your tolerance continues to increase as well with higher dosages, eventually rending each higher dose ineffective (unless you're titrating down then back up, etc). So finding that middle ground betw...

I have been taking Qualitest brand 7.5 325 for cervical stenosis overall back problems and assorted other problems. Here is the thing I am take 1/2 of the 7.5 325, 4 times a day does not take all pain away but helps somewhat, well, CVS just changed to mallinckrodt 7.5 325 and they are not scored. The pharmacist said use a pill splitter, the thing there us, everything I have read on non scored pills regardless of what they are should not be split because you do not know where the medicine is, that is why they score them. Is the mallinckrodt medicine right in the middle as the pharmacist said or is she blowing smoke? ## Hello, Yvonne! How are you? Your pharmacist is correct. The medication is evenly dispersed through the tablets, so you can cut them. The only ones you can't cut are th...

I've been on Lyrica for 5 years, now at 100 mg/3 times a day. Overall, I would say this drug has been very helpful. It does work and the side effects have been minimal. However - I have begun to have headaches due to tight muscles in my upper body. In all the forums I have researched I haven't come across tight muscles as one of them - headaches, yes, tight muscles, no. Has anyone else experienced this? ## Hello, Maryb1953! How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Actually, it has been known to cause myoclonus in about 4% of the people take it. It's an involuntary muscle jerk/spasm, so that could be what's causing your problem. Learn more Lyrica details here. Have you discussed it with your doctor? Our bodies do change with time, so it's pos...

I was non symptamatic before taking pantoprazole. Now I have nausea, sleep problems and overall having stomach issues I did not have. Gastro doc prescribed after upper GI as a preventive measure. Ready to stop all together. ## Same problem here, once I take a Pantoprazole in the morning I cannot sleep the next night. Never had problems sleeping before. Will call the doctor and ask if something else is available. ## It can cause these types of issues, as side effects, in some people, so you both should contact your doctors and discuss trying something else. I also had problems with PPIs and had to stop using them. The medication that finally worked well for me was Pepcid, which contains the active ingredient Famotidine and is available both over the counter and by prescription. Are there...

for over 3 weeks have had serious issues with my lips, tongue, overall inside mouth raw, and sandpaper texture...like plastic....severly dry all day and impossible at night. Tried all OTC products no avail....seems lisinopril MUST BE THE CAUSE> any one else. ## What is your current dosage? Lisinopril can cause dry mouth and dehydration, so yes, it could be the cause, however, your symptoms sound much more severe than normal. Have you contacted your doctor about this, yet? You will probably need a dosage reduction or a switch to a different medication. ## I have been getting swollen areas around the mouth which started about every other day and would disappear usually within 12 to 15 hrs. this happened for about 3 wks. then stopped for 1 month. Now it has started again first with upp...

I was diagnoised with hypothyroidism last December and was put on Levothyroxine (75mcg). Overall I have been feeling better and have more energy. But unlike most other people with underactive thyroids I was not overweight and since going on Levothyroxine have lost 10 pounds and am continuing to lose weight. I also have developed hoarseness which gets worse as the day goes on. Question-the weight loss is a common side effect of the medication-but has anyone heard of hoarseness? My thyroid levels were tested a few weeks ago and are now normal. ## Yes, I have noticed sore throat and hoarseness also on generic levothyroxine 75mcg. I finally tried not taking it for a couple of days and the sore throat and hoarseness went away. Started taking it again and voila, the sore throat and hoarseness...

Which med is better-endocet or percocet...on your overall health on general ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? Both of the medications that you mentioned contain Oxycodone and Acetaminophen, thus both can be equally as hazardous, due to the fact that the Oxycodone has the potential to be habit forming and Acetaminophen may cause liver damage or failure. So, based on the information in your question, there is no answer. What you actually have to look at is the dosage. If you need to take one for awhile to treat pain, then you should take the one with the lowest dosage of both drugs that's still effective for you and you should take it for no longer than absolutely necessary. Learn more Percocet details here. Originally, under the name brands, the dosages were different with lower amou...
