Soy Isoflavones

Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids,[1] many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals.[2] Isoflavones are produced almost exclusively by the members of the bean family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae). Although isoflavones and closely related phytoestrogens are sold as dietary supplements, there is little scientific evidence for either the safety of long-term supplementation or of health benefits from these...

I have been taking brand name Avapro for years, but now that it has gone generic Theexpense has become astronomical. Thinking about going generic ...however worried about side effects. Any generic version I should be aware of? I am so leary of generics and the fillers and overseas manufacturers. ## Hi Henrietta, Based on my research Avapro made by Solco healthcare U.S. is based out of Cranbury, New Jersey. It appears that this is where their headquarters is located according to the company's webpage. You are right though about generics being a little iffy when it comes to the fillers and side effects. However there's really no way to know for sure how any generic/brand is going to effect you until you try it. If you're used to taking the brand name, it would probably be easi...

orange capsule with a G AND AND A ST100 ## The ST marking on capsules usually denotes an over the counter supplement made by the company that sells under the name Stacker, they are sold for energy and weight loss. As to which one, precisely, this is, I have been unable to determine, since they have quite a few on the market. It is, however, not listed as a prescription medication. Was it found in the U.S.?

long,white tablet with 377 on one side of it ## what does 50mg tramadol look like ## Well the tablet described above, marked with a 377 is one example, however, I cannot possibly describe all of them. Once a medication is available for generic production, it can be made by many difference companies and there are no regulations on how they look, that is entirely up to the manufacturer. Tramadol is a generic for Ultram, it is a pain reliever. Some common side effects may include: nausea, dry mouth, dizziness and constipation. You can read more about it here: If you do have a particular pill that you wish to check, please post back with the imprint from the tablet and I will gladly look it up for you. Did you have any other questions? ## football shaped small with only m b on it no numbers...

Hello...My insurance has changed, and I currently have no set mental health coverage available to me. I am looking for a psychiatrist who can continue prescribing the adderall I have been taking for a couple of years. Would have to be a private pay, or sliding scale etc...I do have prescription coverage. Does anybody have a person they would recommend that supports using medication as part of ADHD therapy? ## Hello, Lana! Have you found a new doctor, yet? There's really no listing stating that any certain doctor will prescribe medications that I can refer to in order to suggest someone for you. Learn more Adderall details here. Will your current doctor no longer see you, without insurance? Does anyone know of a good doctor in that area?

In what country is SOLCO Metformin made? ## Solco Healthcare is a U.S. based company that is FDA approved. Have you had some problem with this product? There are more Metformin details available here. ## Solco metformin is made in India like so many other generics of this drug. This is according to the label facsimile shown on the NIH Dailymed site (search on metformin and then locate Soclo in the results), Solco metformin is made in India. ## I obtain my Metformin meds at Publix. Since Publix changed to this manufacturer I noticed this med has a bad rotten odor to them... disgusting. I also noticed that since taking them, my body is reacting more -- with nausea, loose bowels and stomach cramping. How is this medication different from the one Publix was previously dispensing? Why the od...

Why is this medication so hard to find information on? Is it made in the Untied States? ## Which medication are you referring to? I may be able to help you locate it. Generally if you can't locate a pill in a drug database it is probably manufactured in another country. If you can provide the name of the drug and/or imprints, color, and shape of the pill I can aid you in the search. Please post back if you have any more questions or information to add. ## The medication I wonder about is: TRAMADOL HCL 50 MG This is listed as a pain meication. ## Thanks for posting back! I was able to find a good deal of information about this drug. Tramadol is used for treating moderate to moderately severe pain. The drug has a wide range of applications, including treatment for restless leg syndrom...

Looking for a good pain management doctor in the Madison or Platteville area. I have been on methadone for severe pain following a failed double spinal fusion in 1999. The pain has been increasing lately, especially taking care of my 15 yr old daughter with special needs. My current "pain" doctor won't increase my dose or even discuss other options to help with pain. I need to be able to take care of myself and my daughter and need to have more pain relief. ## Hi Michelle, Sorry to hear about your situation. I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but if it helps I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in so far as locating pain management doctors within your general area. Input your city or zip code for narrowed results: {link removed because...

What color is the Nature Made 250 mg Magnesium liquid softgel supposed to be? The first bottle I bought had dark forest green caps, but the 2nd bottle has nearly black/very dark brown capsules? Which is correct? Should I worry about taking these nearly black ones? ## Hello, Peggy! How are you? Since these are over the counter products, they aren't required to log such information with the FDA or any other regulatory agency, thus I do not have an answer for you. Have you tried contacting the company? ## Have not contacted the company yet as I thought someone might know off-hand. I searched everywhere on the the internet for a picture or description of an actual capsule, but the only images were of the bottles of course. I'll see if Nature Made has a contact link. ## I just called...

Ok the dark red relatively large round tablet is coated with red, when split the inside is white. One side is scored the other imprinted with 225. Commonly Indian made, and the same look is also manufactured in Egypt.. Now my understanding, the high concentration as well as coating is supposed to make it time-release. One notice is that this is a bit mellowing and strong...It also gets me hungry, now the original ones ultram or tramadol capsules yeild a real stimulating euphoria, confidence, talkative, clever, insomnia and appetite suppression but no anxiety or palpitations like amphetamines and a terrible comedown follows in 4 -6 hrs.. Taking tramadol with downers like little benzos enhances the analgesic effect and the mellowing relaxation.. Generally speaking tramadol compared to oth...

I've suffered from dermatitis herpetaphormis for 35 years. The price of Dapsone has gone through the roof. Jacobus was the only maker for years. Now other companies are making the drug. Correct? My pharmacist says no, but I saw different manufacturers. Is there a buyer's club or something? I must have this but cant afford the new increase in price. Can someone help me? ## No, there is no buyers club, but yes, you are correct, the tablets are being manufactured by 3 other companies, Fera Pharmaceuticals, Nsotrum Laboratories, and Virtus Pharmaceuticals, according to NIH listings. Have you tried a different pharmacy? Another one might be more helpful regarding checking various prices for you. What is your current pharmacy charging for it?

how long do the side effects of the esokit last in the body, cause i have had this rash on my face for a month now and it's getting worse. ## Have you consulted a doctor? From what I can find, this kit contains antibiotics that are used to help eradicate the H. Pylori bacteria and they can cause a non-allergic skin rash as side effects, but it really shouldn't last that long, after you have finished treatment with it. ## What sort of condition does Eso kit treat? I have had severe stomach ulcers and am very weak with no energy. When I go to the doctors they usually give me some medications which are not good for me. Please, which treatment would you advise for me? ## I have been prescribed and used Eso kit to treat ulcers. However no improvement has been made and nowadays my sto...

Tramadol is not a narcotic but a very powerful pain medication without being a narcotic ## You are correct, it is not a narcotic nor a controlled substance; however, I have not found it to be a powerful pain killer. It has been abused a lot and is addictive but it did nothing for my pain, and is only recommended for mild to moderate pain. ## Does Ultram have the same effects as Percoset or Vicodin? ## I think I can add some valuable information to this post to better explain this issue… Tramadol was at one point classified as a narcotic opiate, but when it was found to not be as effective at treating pain, it was reclassified as a centrally acting analgesic. The way Tramadol came into being is because an attempt was made to take all the beneficial effects of an opiate ...

I've been through so much with my body being damaged in a car accident in MAY of 2014, I broke my left eye socket. Also both arms and wrists, a worst of all I will never be able to run again. I have severe muscle cramping all over my body. I cant bend my left leg much more than 43%. I haven't had any luck here in Madison, Wi finding a provider to ease my pain. I also broke part of a bone off on my knee, its where my FEMUR meets the PATELLA. If anyone can assist in helping me find a DR near me who will listen to my story and be compassionate with prescribing narcotics, please send me a message.

Has anyone been sent Ol-Trams from India? I was getting the AN 626 trams for almost two years and all of the sudden my source sends me this crap from India and actually charged me more... I would of never paid if I knew I was getting this crap. It's from a manufacturer called HAB pharmaceuticals. I know there is a Tramadol shortage and suppliers are going this route now because how easy it is for them to get them overseas. I always loved the good old fashion AN 626's but this crap upset my stomach after one and made me feel nauseous. Looks like this person just lost a loyal customer. Beware of anything that is not sent from Pa.. Check the tracking status before you pick it up or it is delivered. If it's shipped out of any other state besides Pa then it's most likely from...

I have an oval pill with m92 on it. It's suppose to be a tramadol, can you tell me if it is? I couldn't find it online. ## Hi Tami, Just curious, what color is this pill you're describing? Also, are the m92 connected or is the "m" on one side and the "92" on the other? And I guess my last question would be, whereabouts did you get it from (i.e. over the internet/overseas or from another person perhaps)? I only ask because there is an epidemic of counterfeits with regards to these types of sources... and may be something to keep in mind. So far, a white round tablet imprinted with M T7 is the closest matching Tramadol pill I've found; and these ones are made by Mylan.

I just picked up my monthly Rx for OxyContin 80mg and they were the new generic Watson OC/OP here in the USA. They look identical to Purdue pharma pills as far as color and markings..I haven't tried them yet but I sure hope they work like the old version OC. I will let you all know if I can tell a difference. Lets hope they are somewhat as strong as the old OC formula. Im all for the protection of the pill but as far as the strength in my opinion seem like they were cut in half.. ## This is the second day on the New Generic Oxycontin Made By Watson and I must say that they are just like the old OC formula as far as the strength goes. They seem to last around 8-10 hours. They are GREAT for my pain compared to the Purdue Pharma OC/OP. Much stronger and so happy to finally have the rel...

Pain management for over 13 years. Saw an RN, not a pain doctor for some reason, I don't know why. Reduced my oxycodone 10/325 six/day to oxycodone 7.5/325 three/day, and ms contin ER 30mg three/day to two/day, then took me off 350mg SOMA three/day. Said that soma was not going to be in the market anymore!!?? Put me on Robaxin 750mg four/day and they make me very sick. Can't keep anything down. Called the clinic and RN is on vacation!! Nothing they can do! I can't understand this. It's soma being taken off the market? I've been a very responsible person when taking my medication. Every month I have a UA. I've passed all my pill counts also. I feel like I've did something wrong and I feel totally helpless and hopeless. I've been on same dosage for over 12 ...
