B vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism and synthesis of red blood cells.[1] Though these vitamins share similar names (B1, B2, B3, etc.), they are chemically distinct compounds that often coexist in the same foods.[1] In general, dietary supplements containing all eight are referred to as a vitamin B complex. Individual B vitamin supplements are referred to by the specific number or name of each vitamin, su...

muscle relaxant ## The corrected spelling for this is Skelaxin ... Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do... ## I can't tolerate NSAIDS w/ the exception of aspirin.so Skelaxin was terrible for me. Then I found Zanaflex. Made for spinal injuries & muscle spasms caused by this. It is amazing..Doctors told me my thoracic area would probably neverr move back into adjustment..Guess what it is moving bit by bit & astounding them & me (I pray alot too tho'!) but it really works & doesn't make you feel high! I was given others over the years to try but to no avail & mostly they made me unable to function & or speak clearly. Not so w/ Zanaflex. (tizanadine)

When Shellcal 250 is advised by doctors? ## Shelcal 250 is a product of India; so firstly, it would only be prescribed if you live in India or some other places outside of the U.S. It is simply a Calcium with Vitamin D Tablet (250 mg). Both Calcium and Vitamin D are essential to your health and proper bone strength and density. I would imagine that one would need to be severely deficient in either of these nutrients in order to get this prescribed. On separate note, I didn't know one needed a prescription for vitamins? I'm guessing that these tablets are one of a few exceptions. Anyhow if one is getting plenty of sunlight and getting calcium from whole foods then they shouldn't need to supplement with this unless they have severe malabsorption in which their body won't a...

So, as such, it will not actually do anything to help pain and it has not been tested for side effects, or possible interactions with alcohol. Are there any other questions or comments?

shelf life of keflex ## Hi patty, From what I could gather, Keflex (Cephalexin) has a shelf life of 3 years. After this time frame, the medication may not be nearly as effective as it should be, and therefore may not be strong enough to eradicate certain types of infections at this point. If you do have expired antibiotics, it's probably a good idea to visit your doctor for a new script. This way you can at least be certain that it'll work the way it's supposed to and not cause drug resistant bacteria. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cephalexin Details I hope this helps!

How many years past the expiration date would if be safe to use Jevity for nutrition. If it was stored in a non-climate controlled environement would this adversely affect it? ## Can you drink outdated jevity ,if so what happens to it. ## Generally, it is best to avoid outdated liquids, because as the FDA warns, they may turn sour/go bad, and could make you sick if you use them, this goes for both supplements, and medications. Thus, drinking it could cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Thus, it would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the Zofran Shelf Life ## "Zofran (ondansetron) tablets have good stability, and have a shelf life of 2 years when stored below 30 degrees C."

I am male, 62 years, 82kg, 172cm height, vegetarian, not eating eggs, eat vegetables, milk curd about 200 ml per day and one 500mg Shelcal tablet. Bone density T score is -1.7 and Z score -1.5. Kindly advise if calcium supplement of 500mg per day should be continued or modified. ## What has your doctor advised? They are really the best person to consult in such situations, since they are familiar with your medical history. It can really depend on if it's pushing the level up, or just maintaining it.

i want to know whAT THE SHELF LIFE OF XANNX IS ## A Xanax prescription from your pharmacy will have an expiration date of one year from the date it was filled and the same would be true of any that are not sealed in the original bottle from the manufacturer, that have been exposed to light and air. Bottles that are still sealed by the manufacturer have a 3 year shelf-life. They don't become dangerous, after the expiration, however, they will start to degrade and lose effectiveness, so they may not work as well as they did, when they were new. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments?
