Has anyone noticed weight gain or stained teeth due to Advair usage? ## I was just logging on to find out if weight gain is a side effect of advair diskus.

What are the side effects of HCG? ## Hi Terry, The HCG diet seems like a pretty extreme way to lose weight. Personally, I have my doubts about it's long term effectiveness, due to the lack of calories and nutrients needed to fuel your mind & body throughout the day, everyday. You can easily determine the side effects of eating 500 calories a day, by only eating 500 a day and assessing how you feel (although I don't recommend trying it for your own sanity). You can view a good article on the HCG diet in the link below: health.usnews.com/health-news/diet-fitness/diet/articles/2011/03/14/hcg-diet-dangers-is-fast-weight-loss-worth-the-risk Based on statistics and popular opinion, if you're looking for long-term weight loss, it really just comes down to a healthy proportioned...

If i take what will be the side effects of zolidme and my stomach ## From what I could gather, Zolidime contains the following active ingredients: Aspirin Dexamethasone Phenylbutazone Right off the bat, it is stated in a number of webpages that Aspirin in and of itself can cause stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting as common side effects of the drug. Dexamethasone is not quite so helpful in that regard either, as it can present a host of undesirable gastro-related side effects that essentially can irritate more than just one's stomach. Not even looking into the last ingredient, it becomes apparent to me that this drug displays great risk for any stomach problems and other symptoms that you may or may not be experiencing. Because of this, I strongly encourage you to do your research on...

I have been taking 200 mg. of riboflavin for 6 days. I developed a rash on my arms thats has now spread to my legs and back. Small red bumps that look like welps. I haven't taken any for 3 days. could this be the cause of my rash? If so how long will it last? It is extremely uncomfortable. ## Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in and of itself is not reported to pose risk of side effects. Depending on the brand you're taking, it could very well be that you are reacting to one or more of the inactive ingredients or fillers within each tablet. Deficiency of riboflavin is not common in the United States because this vitamin is plentiful in the food supply. Symptoms of a severe deficiency include: Anemia Mouth or lip sores Skin disorders Sore throat Swelling of mucus membranes Because riboflav...

Has anyone been harmed by using Pravastatin? ## I recently had a 2nd MI and was put on Crestor in hospital, sent home w/script for Pravastatin 80 mgs. I am 6 days post starting this statin and for 4 days have had severe lower back pain and lower abdominal pain severe enough to go to ER as well as taking a half tab of Vicodin to ease the pain enough to partially function. There were only 2 new meds added to my normal regime since 4/15/10. I am getting this severe pain within 3 hours of the once a day dosage so am inclined to think it is caused by the statin. Have not been able to tolerate any form of statins for well over 10 years but my doctor was insistant while in the hopsital. Am close to stopping this med and will discuss with my family doctor today. Anyone else have or had this sit...

Is it safe to use in pregnancy 8 month and one week ## Hi Anup, Based on my research, Moxclav (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid) is classified as a pregnancy category B drug by the FDA. This means that there have been "no proven risks associated with human use". The US National Library of Medicine also verifies its safety in one of their controlled studies, stating that "exposure to amoxicillin + clavulanic acid during pregnancy is unlikely to result in an increased risk of fetal malformations." Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1884575 I hope this helps to answer your question!

I am 36 years old with PE, multiple clots in both lungs, blockage to right valve of heart and DVT in left leg. I have no medical issues ever. My PE was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. My doctor put me on Xarelto. I am still on the 21 day, 15mg, 2x a day. I am lethargic, vomiting, severe night sweating, dizziness, blood in my stool, insane MIGRAINES and back aches. The bleeding side effects have landed me in the ER, 3x already. I really cant qualify which side effect is hitting me the worst. On top of it all this drug costs $316 a month and I am uninsured but employed. My financial status and insurance disqualify me for the free Xarelto plans. My doctors really believe this drug will most effectively and conveniently dissolve my clots. Can you offer a solution for free or discount Xarelto RX? Wil...
