I gave the wrong dosage of the hidrasec racedotril to my 11 month old baby. I mix halfthe sachet as I followed the instruction and it says to be taken three times a day but I let my daughter drink it 1 time only. During the night, she kept waking up and she was crying. I wonder what are the side effects of taking overdosage of of this medicine. ## First off, I would like to state that in the future, if you feel you have a medical emergency, please do not post on a free website and ask for guidance. Overdosage could place your child's life in danger and you should contact your doctor, a poison control center or your nearest emergency care provider immediately. That said, an overdose of anything could cause organ damage or even be fatal. This medication is normally used to treat diarr...

I have been experiencing abnormal bleeding and my doctor prescribed me Norethisterone for 21 days starting 21 March. The dosage indicated 2 tablets 2 times a day for 21 days. However, I don't know why I heard the pharmacist as saying 1 tablet 2 times a day. So from 21 March till just now, I have been taking 1 tablet each time. I only just realized my blunder earlier on when taking my 2nd dose of the day (to which I took 2 tablets upon realizing my mistake). Will this affect my treatment? I should just continue to take the correct dosage until I finish the medication? ## Have you consulted your doctor? You might need to have them prescribe more tablets for you to resolve the issue. Are you still bleeding? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness,...

I have just been given Methylin as a generic for Ritalin. I have taken other generic forms of Ritalin. All others have been called Methylphenidate and have all responded as anticipated. Methylin has been very different. It has made me sleepy, not alert at all and most importantly has significantly lowered my blood pressure while raising my pulse. My last dosage lowered my bp to 63/46, pulse 96. I stopped the medication. Are there any others with similar effects while taking this medication? ## Tell your doctor and pharmacist that this generic doesn't work for you. There is no way that they can force you to take a generic that doesn't work I am not a doctor but all I see is it is the same drug just generic. Different brand. I may be wrong, but ask, I can't see you taking some...

What is the dosage for omeprazole 20mg bcos my doctor told me 1cap twice daily is he right or wrongd ## It actually depends on the condition being treated and the severity. For relatively mild issues, one 20mg dosage is usually taken each day. However, for someone with a severe acid issue, or who is already tolerant to it, the dosage can be raised to 40mgs a day, either in one dose, or as 2 separate doses. Learn more Omeprazole details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took D Amphetamine Salt Combo and I go most of the regular symptoms but my emotions spiked when i took it. I started crying randomly for no reason. I asked around and nobody else has experienced this. Is there something wrong? ## There are others that have experienced such issues, I've read quite a few posts about it. It just has that effect on some people and usually means it's not the right medication for them to take and they should try something else. Learn more Adderall details here.

Pink oval antidepressant ## I recently received a refill from my mail order pharmacy for Citalopram HBR tablets, 20 mg. The first prescription I had were pink oval tablets, but this next one was round white tablets, the size of a 325mg bayer aspirin. Embossed on the tablet, from what I can make out is, WP1 3177. Is the same type of drug or could it be the wrong prescription?? ## This is the same medication and same dosage, just made by a different company that your last fill. Many pharmacies end up switching which one they carry according to what company had the cheapest available when they needed to restock. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and sweating. ## I was taken off lexapro and put on citalopram hbr 20mg. After being on the generic anti...

I've been on LO LOESTRIN FE for 6 months. This month I took the wrong blue pill on the wrong day instead of taking my Tuesday pill I took my Monday pill of the following week which were located on the same line on week four of the packet. So I chosed to take my wenseday pill, Thursday pill and so on until I reached Monday and I took the Tuesday pill instead. Would I be okay?! ## Hello, Aisha! How are you? Yes, all of the blue pills are the same and contain the same dosages of the hormones, so they don't have to be taken on any specific day of the week. The days are marked on there just to help you remember to take one each day. However, the only tablets that are different are the white ones and the brown ones.

side effects. posibility of dizziness, nausea and fainting? ## I've not heard of it causing fainting, but yes, it does regularly cause nausea, dizziness and headache. All medications can have different effects on different people. You may be on the wrong medication for you or on too high of a dosage. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? ## I was on Estratest HS .0625 mg since 1987 after a complete hystrectomy. The pharmacy took me off and has given me Estrogenmtest HS. Is this the same?

watson349 ## There is no Vicodin that comes in that high of a dosage. This tablet is a generic for Vicodin, that contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen.

They normally come in 5mg 7.5mg and 10mg. Anything more than that isn't going to be hydrocodone more than likely, even the apap or acetaminophen which is normally the second number following the mg is never that high.

White Round Pill With NO30 On It And A Line On The Otherside Is A Muscle Relaxant Called Baclofen ## Thanks. I was beginning to think they gave me the wrong pills again because spasms are worse than what they usually are with the others they used to give me ## I think the reason that some people have had trouble identifying this one is due to the fact that it's very easy to misread the markings on the pills. It's actually meant to be N 030 and the actual dosage is 20mgs of the Baclofen. As a muscle relaxant, its side effects may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. And Ty, what did you end up doing? You may just have grown tolerant to it and may have needed to try a different medication. You can learn more Baclofen details here.

i was taking 0.5mg of xanax now doctor has given me xanax 1mg .is this stronger or is it less then 0.5mg ## 1mg is stronger than 0.5mg, the 0.5mg is only half of an mg, so he has upped your dose to a full milligram dosage. You may experience more side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability. Read more: Are there any comments or questions? ## Hmm, .5 half milligram versus 1 milligram, yeah, here we go, usually when you take the full 1 mg it's like taking 2 .5 mg's , so it's safe to say the full 1 mg is stronger. ## Taking a full 1 mg Xanax is nothing like taking 2.5 mg Xanax, nothing. ## You are wrong, sorry, but it is exactly like it. It is the same. 1mg = two .5mgs. (.5mg is 1/2 of 1mg), therefore .5mg x 2 = 1mg. And 1mg is stronger than .5mg. You ow...

There are a good number of green xanax pills, both generic and brand name; so I wouldn't want to give you the wrong answer if I'm looking at a completely different tablet.

Does percocet come in 20mg? ## I'm assuming you're referring to the amount of the narcotic in it, the Oxycodone? If so, then NO, it does not. Percocet, which contains the Oxycodone, coupled with Acetaminophen, is only available in a maximum dosage of 10mgs Oxycodone and 650mgs of Acetaminophen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness.

I've been on 20mg Citalopram for almost 6 weeks now and don't feel any better, of anything I'm more depressed and anxious than I was before. My GP has talked about increasing the dose but I don't know wether it's the Citalopram, making me worse or if the dosage isn't strong enough. Any thoughts plaeas? ## Too many physicians don't take side effects seriously, and rather than stopping the antidepressant, increase the dose. A major side effect of all antidepressants is a deeper depression. Although I'm a layman, I've been through enough therapy and antidepressants to know that what your doctor is doing is wrong. For one thing, psychiatrists should be prescribing antidepressants, not general practitioners. My advice is not to increase the dose and to see...
