Pills Got We

Hi, my Percocet prescription bottle got water in it and 40 pills were left in it. Now they have dissolved into mush. If I measure out 1 pill How much would 1 pill measure at? I don't want to take too much at one time and I really need these pills for pain. The strength is 10/325 also. Thank you. ## Hi Chad, Honestly from your description of how they dissolved into mush, it sounds like trying to salvage them may be a lost cause. I'm not sure what good this would do, but if I were you I'd consider taking a photograph and/or any evidence of what happened to your doctor, in hopes that maybe he/she will have sympathy to write for the remainder of the script. If this is not possible, I'd even see if your doctor might be willing to write for anything at all to help avoid/cope w...

I have oxycodone 10’s (5 of them) and it looks like they got wet or something. The imprint is kind of faded. I can barely see the numbers and it didn’t take the pain away like it usually does. My question is, what could it be? Could they have gotten wet or is it a bad batch from the pharmacy? ## Hi Red, Sorry to hear about your situation. In my opinion I think you should contact your primary care physician since the pills are not working for you in the way that they normally do and explain the situation. Considering your pills are still in tact and the imprint is still legible he/she may be willing to refill your script or exchange them so that you are not taking partial doses of your medication. I suppose ultimately it would come down to your opinion of if the pills are sti...

Is 2 months and each month, after 20 pills got my period ... I took the rest active and no active last month and my period last 11 days . After that have watery clear discharge and every day have wear something ... My estrogen level is too high please help me ## It could be that this is the wrong oral contraceptive for you and you may need to switch to a different one. Have you consulted your doctor about the problem? The FDAl lists the other typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and weight gain. Though, it can be normal to experience irregular bleeding for the first 3 months, after starting oral contraceptives.

Will pyrazolam and flubromazepam be ok to consume if they went through the washer? No zip lock or baggie its just turned into a white powdery mush in a pocket!?? ## I would say you should not try to take them. Detergent residue that may have been left with the remains could be toxic, according to the FDA, even if it was just residual detergent and softener from prior washes, additionally, a good bit of the medication has likely washed away. Why were they being carried loose in a pocket? That is never a good idea. Medications should always be kept in appropriate containers, of some type, as explained by the NIH. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for the advice. It was an accidental benzo f:;/ up! Were within a sock . I'm off them now anyhow. You know walking around...

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?

Washed a whole 3rd of xanax 2mg in the washer. I forgot they were in my pocket until I took the clothes out. Now they're all powder. Is it safe to take? ## @Aline, In all honesty I think it be safest to just dispose of those powdery pills. After being in the washer they were exposed and saturated with chemical laden laundry detergent and grey water (i.e. not suitable for drinking). So to put that in your body sounds like a disaster waiting to happen... That's just my personal opinion anyway. I wouldn't consume anything that went through a wash. Sorry for your loss, but it's better to be safe than sick. ## Best not to carry a pill, especially a Xanax without the bottle. Cops are cracking down on Pills, they know what Xanax looks like, and if there is any question it is ve...

When I opened my pill bottle I accidently dropped quite a few of my methadone pills in the bathroom sink and they got all wet. Will this affect the potency of the pills? Thank you ## In a way, it could, because these is the possibility that they started to dissolve, so some of the medication was lost. However, unless they sat wet and were allowed to dissolve for a long time, the change should be minimal. Most tablets have a thin coating on the outside, even if they don't seem to when you look at them or feel them and the moisture may not have even made it past that coating. When you look at them, is it noticeable that they have been wet? If not, then you probably have nothing to worry about. Most tablets just don't dissolve as fast in water as they do in the acidic environment o...

I got K 3 diet pills and I am afraid to start taking them since I can't find any information on results or side effects. It says it should be bright pink, but mine are dark purpple. Does it really help to lose weight? The ingredients are fructose and natural, so they say. Grapefruit, papaya, horse tail, magnesium estearato, malva, oxido de silicio.. Are there side effects? I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you... Gemma ## What you have to understand is that these types of natural over the counter products are not tested for side effects, nor for efficacy, as is done with actual medications. Therefore, there is no way of knowing if they are going to cause you any problems, or if they will help you lose weight. Have you consulted your doctor?

I was cleaning my coffee pot with vinegar & water and it spilled out on my counter. My prednisone pills 10 milligrams were in a paper envelope. Most of them got wet and looks like they dissolved a little. But I took them out of the envelope to dry. Some of them fall apart when I pick them up. Is it still safe to take these. They were given to me for a cough from sinus and allergies. ## I have follow up test every six month for cancer n removal of right kidney. Because fifteen years ago I had reaction to iodine.

I have about 10 pills that are powder and 9 in pill form, but will bust into dust if I'm not careful when picking them up. Will they still work like they should? ## I don't know what type of medication you're referring to, but if the tablets became powder, then my main personal concern would be accidentally taking too much. It just seems to me like it would be difficult to measure out an approximate dosage of powder relative to the normal tablet size/composition; unless you know the proper weight and size. The tablet efficacy may also be subject to vary depending upon which drug it is and which binders/fillers it's mixed with [taking into consideration the notion that some substances come in extended release tablets that could present a potentially serious risk factor.

I have had these Percocet 10-325 pills with the U 17 on them and they are the worse pills you might as well take Tylenol they are so weak I had the worse month of my life taking these and I'm not crazy I have had a few friends that take Perks for there pain and they got the same ones this month and had the same complaints as me !! ## Weird. I started them yesterday, very reluctantly and I'm finding they may actually be better. I have some variables to work out--such as if I took it with or near other stuff--but yeah, I wouldn't say they suck but I'm sure watching.

I was prescribed hydrocodone 10/325 for severe back pain and they did nothing for the pain, not even when I took two at a time. The doctor then prescribed dilaudid 4 mg, this too did not touch the pain at all. I took the dilaudid back to the doctor and had them dispose of them. They then prescribed oxycodone 5mg. These do nothing as well, I took two at once and just got a stomach ache. I stopped taking all pain medications as they just were not working. Yesterday, I found an old bottle of vicodin 10/325 that I had from a previous surgery and even though they were expired - I took one and it worked! Within an hour I had more pain relief than I have had since I began seeing my current pain doctor. I wonder if it is possible that someone at the pharmacy is substituting my prescriptions wit...

My Oxycodone 30 mg blue pills got wet, they dried out & now are twice the size they should be & no writing is on them. My question is of they are still as effective as before they got wet? ## as long as it was water, you are fine. There might be a shorter time release bc the membrane might be worn or more porous. ## They also may not be effective, if the water started causing some of the Oxycodone to be released. 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. In the future, it is always best to store your pills away from liquid sources to prevent this from occurring. They should be stored in a cool, dark, dry location. Is there a...

I am searching for some of the famous brands of sleeping pills available in the market. Pl. Inform me about their names. I will be highley obeliged to you ## We used G-Monster Saturday night; I used one serving and so did my girlfriend. My girlfriend got totally different effects from the product than I did. I just got relaxed and chill; as I do when I did a cap of scoop, but my girlfriend said it was too trippy for her, if we were at a club I think she would have wigged out. Should she cut down the dosage or do women feel different effects from some products than men? ## For 2 months baby sleeping pills 81 4grm can do misscarriage

Got vidicon wet in washer will they.still work ## It really depends on how we they got and how much of the tablets started to dissolve. However, regardless of that, I wouldn't recommend trying to use them as even if they only got slightly damp and barely dissolved, they may still have absorbed various chemicals from your washer, such as those in your laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener and etc. Are there any other comments or questions? ## got my vicodin slightly wet in the sink...dumped 50 pills accidently....dried them all slowly with a hair dryer....only a few are slightly fuzzy....can I still use them?

Looking for something my Mom used to give me for headaches. She used to call them gray grip pills. This was in the 1950's. Anyone have any ideas as to what this was? ## I used to get those too, in the 50s and 60s: called simply: little gray grip pills. From the family/country doctor to cure anything. I am thinking penecillin...but would also like to know. I recently blogged about them and got LOTS of comments and memories from others who remembered them as well. What were they?

I left my 60 mg chewable Vyvanse on my windowsill. The window was open and it rained. Some got wet and dissolved and then dried. Now they are bumpy looking and deformed but still in tact. Are they still safe to take? ## If the pills are fully intact then I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to continue taking them as prescribed. I suppose the partially dissolved tablets would be the only ones that remain questionable, at least in so far as their potency is concerned. However, when it comes to their 'safety', I personally don't consider water to be an adulterant. As a last resort, you could always bring the damaged pills to your prescribing doctor and see if s/he is willing to replace them with a new script? Hope this helps!
