Plug A

my ear [ right ] became plugged up from a real bad sinus infection and i can no longer hear at all out of it. Will Doxycycline help me. i am afraid i might go deaf if i dont get help quick. ## Doxycycline is a wide spectrum antibiotic that treats many skin, ear, and respiratory infections (including sinusitis). If this is something your doctor prescribed, I would definitely encourage you to give it a chance and see if you notice any progress over the duration that its been prescribed for. Unfortunately there's no real way to know for sure how well it will work for your ear until you actually try it. Are you certain that the loss in hearing was due to a sinus infection and not something else, like nerve damage? If you're not sure, it may be wise to clear that up with a proper dia...

my ear [ right ] became plugged up from a real bad sinus infection and i can no longer hear at all out of it. Will Doxycycline help me. i am afraid i might go deaf if i dont get help quick. ## Sorry to hear about your situation. Based on my research, Doxycycline can be used for a variety of bacterial infections (including sinus infections). Unfortunately there's no way of knowing ahead of time how well you'll end up responding to Doxycycline, without understanding your medical history, current health, lifestyle, and other individual factors that determine an antibiotics overall effectiveness. I can only assume that your doctor made the right decision by prescribing you something strong for an infection like this. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Doxycycline Det...

Been taking Belvic for about two weeks now. I am not diabetic, do not take any drugs for anything and so far, I think Belvic is amazing!!! I am over the BMI norm...46 to be excact, and I have had NO craving for food at all. I now have to teach myself what foods I need to eat and size up the portions. Never in my life have I felt this way. One little problem though. I recently developed an URI (upper respiratory infection)which is probaby making me weak. I do experience very small off/on headaches. I do certainly think this is worth it though. I will see my Dr. next week for the first f/u. So far I have lost 20 lbs. I also learned how to make my treadmill work....plug it in and stand on it..... ## Hello, Wiznap66! How are you? I'm very glad that this medication is working for you, so...

I'm very nervous about starting the liquid Miralax as in the past with a colonoscopy prep (which I know is a much larger amt) I get terribly nauseated. Any suggestions as to how to get the 17g down? I have to do this twice a day and I've heard just plain water is awful. I plan on plugging my nose. Also, does anyone else have low energy with constipation? Thank you SO much ## How are you doing, Gina? I hope everything is going well and you didn't end up nauseated. But the nausea can be a normal side effect of most of these laxative medications. in many cases it's due to the stimulation of the bowel that happens, there's some internal bloating and cramping that you may not always feel, but it can put some pressure on the stomach making you feel sick. You can learn more...

Where can I purchase Daxophed-D? I can no longer get Drixoral & read that Daxophed-D has the same ingredients. I am desperate to find a replacement that works. My ears plug up and I get very dizzy so I am hoping this drug is the answer. I have tried many other antihistamines and none of them work. ## Where can I purchase DAXOPHED-D over the counter? I would like to try it since I can no longer get Drixoral and the ingredients are supposed to be the same. ## Where can I find Daxophed tablets for allergies, similar to Drixoral? Drixoral is no longer manufactured.

a really good drug for nerve pain is neourotin or gapabentin (same thing) i may be spelling wrong. but it does wonders. your welcome. ## I am starting to wonder what is wrong with me even more because Gabapintin 600mgs does nothing at all for my pain from a frostbitten foot compounded by electrical shock while standing in some water while plugging up a buffer from a 220 volt socket Plus for some reason doctors here in Indianapolis don't have a clue as how to treat my problem. I wonder why none of them offered me any of the first medication you talked about ## It did nothing for my nerve pain too. It also made me crazy with brain zaps. ## As with any medication, Neurontin (Gabapentin) does not work for everyone that tries it. We are all different, so what works well for one person mi...

Im on morphine 20ml daily and fentonyl patches 100mg every 3 days I ran out of my pain relief last week n used subutex today. My script is due tomorrow is it safe to take without being in agony??? ## My advice - I currently have a very low tolerance and applied a 100 mcg patch 10 hrs ago. I stopped a 180 mg daily oxy habit of 3 years 2/14. Since 2/14 until now my opiate usage would be 5 30 mg oxy's monthly typically - I've used maybe 25 mcg orally 3 times in the past 5 months and 60 mg morphine plugged a couple times. I have also used subutex a few times I no longer experience opiate w/d and a dose of 30 mg oxy leaves me extremely buzzed for a good 12 hrs. That being said, I rec'd a 100 mcg patch today to help me with extreme back pain for the next 4 days. I was nervous to w...

Hi, I started taking Jardiance in August and then in September I started noticing that my ears seem plugged. I am not diabetic but my doctor put me on it for cardiomyopathy. I’ve been to an ENT doctor and there is no reason for the plugged sensation that I have. So could it be the Jardiance? Has anyone else experienced this? I know it isn’t one of the side effects listed, but I’m at a loss as to what is wrong with my ears. ## I don't see anything listed by the FDA as to it being known to affect ears/hearing. The typical side effects usually include: nausea, dizziness, increased thirst, and increased urination. Ref: Jardiance Information Are you on any other medications?

Have copd and shortness of breath. Dr called in this med for me. Have taken 3 pills and no improvement. Is that just too soon. I feel like I either have a mucus plug or exasperated. Not sure. Just need fast relief. ## Hello, Sandra! How are you feeling? To know if an antibiotic is working, you shouldn't see any worsening of your condition after taking it for 24 hours and improvement should start after being on it for 3 days, so yes, that's a little to soon to expect a change. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## How long can amoxicillin be left out of fridge and still be ok to take?it has never been put in the refrigerator.

I'm getting ready to fly and take Xanax prior to my flight. I don't want to have a coughing fit on the plane. Will taking Cheratussin AC along with the Xanax be a problem? ## Hi Karen, If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to check out the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool) for good measure, where you can plug in the name of each drug you are taking and it will search its database for possible contraindications. However based on my own investigation, there does appear to be a high potential for interaction between Cheratussin AC and Alprazolam, whereas it's generally not recommended that you take the two together due to a risk of increased respiratory depression. That said, it would probably be best to contact your prescribing docto...

Corepharma adderall 30 mg is not really effective for concentration and just seems to becoming less and less effective for my add symptoms. Zero help w/ motivation. Seems to be making me even more lethargic, depressed, hopeless. Does the quality, strength of the pink generic tabs seem to be spotty to anyone else? ## Jan, There have been sporadic reports of less then effective results with this generic formulation. Many times other pharmaceutical's been administered plays a part in preventing this drug to reach an effective therapeutic threshold.If you are being prescribed other substances I'd suggest inquiring into the possibility before pulling the plug on this drug. I hope you find a solution for this issue. Regards. ## Agree. Core Pharma generic adderall (dextroamphetamine an...

What is the reason for FDA to withhold Methscopolamine Nitrate from use as an ingredient for in pharmaceutical products? ## I'd like to know as well. I have been taking prescription allergy medications for years and suddenly I am unable to get the prescription I need to ease my symptoms. The pharmacist tells me that the FDA has recalled the drying agent in these medications, but doesn't know the reason for the recall. Unfortunately, me and other allergy sufferers, are not able to get the full relief from OTC allergy products as they do not contain this ingredient. I tried for over a month taking OTC antihistamine/decongestants without success. My ears began plugging and I began having residual pain in my ears. The only thing that seems to relieve this uncomfortable symptom is th...

I have a problem with blockage in my ear. It started last week when I had the flu. My flu is sorted out now, but my left ear is still blocked. Is it ok if I use moxypen 500? ## I had a grommet fitted abou 20 years ago and i am very often getting ear infection. I get penicillin and prednicort from the chemist but doesnt cure the problem for longer than 3 months. The area around the ear stays swollen and I had a scan done but shows nothing of interest. The space above my collarbone is also swollen from the permanent swelling which was also checked out with no concern report. I do have a perforated eardrum and mostly apply a Voltaren gel drenched plug which helps a lot. The voltaren plug is only put in the ear canal not direct to the eardrum. I tried this as I do not have medical aid and i...

What kind of cold medicine is okay to take with the blood pressure medicine losartan? ## @Sunshine, For liability reasons, I think it's generally best to discuss this with your prescribing doctor or pharmacist. However you can always look up potential drug interactions via the University of Maryland Medical Center at: umm.edu/health/medical/drug-interaction-tool That webpage allows you to plug in specific drug names for an evaluation of their combined pharmacology and what/if any risk factors (or side effects) may be expected in certain scenarios. Sorry I couldn't give you more specific details, but if you have a medication in mind you can simply plug it into that drug interaction tool... Nevertheless, I'd still encourage you to double check with your medical provider(s) jus...

We are having difficulty using Twocal on a tiny lady with a small PEG. She has a G/J line with the food only going down the J side due to severe reflux. The J side plugs up from the thick nutrient. We have tried all the plug remedies but the viscosity still plugs. Can the Twocal be diluted to lessen the thickness and still provide her with the nutrient? What diliuent would he needed and how will that affect her feeeding ratio of 60ml/hr of food with 25ml of water for flush.

Been taking generic augmentin for 96 hours for a sinus infection. I must say that the pounding headaches behind the eyes are still present. I know h/a is a side effect of the drug and curious as to whether or not I've only swapped headaches. I'll give it another 24 yrs before I pull the plug and get some Keflex (my 1st choice). Thanks for listening. ## Yes, that can be a side effect of this antibiotic, according to FDA reports, as well as symptom of a sinus infection. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has there been any change? How are you feeling, now?

what does IMM REL stand for after Morphine Sulfate ## IMM REL stands for Immediate Release ## That is correct, it means the medication starts to be released in your body immediately, as soon as you swallow it. There are 3 formulations of Morphine available, the immediately release, the regular release that usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to start working and a time released that is slowly released over a 12 hour period. Are there any other comments or questions? ## And the bio availability in the immediate release is horrible. Meaning you may only get maybe 5% of the pill. That's way some people plug them, it's like 90% bio availability meaning you will get most of the medication. Just a F.Y.I. ## What exactly do you mean by "plug them" I've been on the 15's Imedi...

hi, just wanna make sure if, this medicament will, help my small ear infection i have because recently I had a sore throat and kind of flu and my sore throat is gone but now my nose is plug out with some mucus and i feel like my left ear is a lil plug too. I want so see if this "PENTREXYL" will help me? ## Hello, John! How are you? I'm sorry that you've been ill. Pentrexyl is listed as containing the antibiotic Ampicillin, which is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, you should consult your doctor, before taking it to be sure that you have an infection. If not, taking it could create the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria....

What pain med can I take while taking sulfamethoxazole? I wanted to take something for pain and all I have is naproxen. Can I take it while taking this medicine or an ibuprofen 800mg? ## The University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu) has a drug interaction tool you can use to plug in and check for interactions between various medications. I went ahead and looked up the combination of Naproxen + Sulfamethoxazole as well as Ibuprofen + Sulfamethoxazole and didn't find any warnings listed. While this does not necessarily mean that no interactions exist, I personally haven't come across any specific details stating otherwise. However, if in doubt, it's always a good idea to double check with your doctor first. If you happen to have any other types of pain medication in mind...
