On my sleeping pills it says "Apo-Zopiclone"... Then in brackets on the prescription label it says GLA. My question is, what does APO mean...and what does GLA mean? Thank you. ## What's APO 37.5/25 on my sleep medications stand for ## In Canada, and some other countries, medications are often listed according to manufacturer, and name of the actual chemical, so in this case, the APO stands for the manufacturer Apotex. The GLA stands for the distributor, since Apotex licenses their products to several companies for dissemination across the country. The 37.5/25 is the designated dosage of the substances in the relevant medication. Zopiclone may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, sleep actions, and next day hangover-like effects.

If a prescription says "may fill on 2/17", can I fill it on 2/15 if it's a controlled substance? ## No, that means you can't fill it until the 17th and not earlier, according to FDA guidelines. Your pharmacy will refuse, because of the doctors note on it. What medication is it? Why do they restrict when you can get it filled?

What does it mean "take 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours × 2 days" should i only take it for 2 days or every 2 days?? ## Hello, Miri! How are you? According to the FDA prescription writing information, that would be taking one every 8 hours for 2 days. Which medication is it? Perhaps I can provide you with more information on it, if you post back and clarify! ## Take hydrocodone every 12 hours as needed for pain - how many pills should be prescribed? ## What does it mean to take 2 tablets every four hours?

PO Q stands for per orally every, so it is per orally every 12 hours as needed. Some places may also list it as per oral route, every 12 hours, as needed, according the NIH listings. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is it true that Walmart can no longer fill prescriptions for est estrogenmtest hstb amn???? ## I'm not sure what they told you, but it actually isn't that these types of prescriptions can't be filled anymore, it's that there are stricter regulations on them. The Methyltestosterone in them falls under the anabolic steroids act and the laws pertaining to them weren't being enforced for many years in regards to HRT medications, the FDA and DEA have started cracking down and making pharmacies follow the law to the letter. That means that there are strict limits on the number of refills you can have on the prescription, so you will have to see your doctor every few months and get a new prescription in order to continue getting it filled.

Hi, I know this may sound like a stupid question but I have suffered from Opiate-Induced Constipation for 15 years and have followed several different VA doctors recommendations, none of which really worked or else the VA pharmacy would fill their recommended prescription. My civilian doctor got me approved for Linzess which I have read great things about. By inpacted, I think it means where the stool is backed up and is blocking evacuation but now I am thinking that since opiates cause slow transit of stool through the G.I. tract, that might be the inpaction they are talking about. I have never had a complete evacuation of my G.I. tract (colon), only partial. So which is it? The inpaction around the evacuation point or up through the colon? ## Hello Lartomar, According to Harvard Healt...

This pill is a white round pill with the numbers 104 and other side blank. I was get Percocet with the letters Rp on it are these Percocet 5mg/325 ## Hello, DB! How are you? According to federal law in the U.S., all manufactured prescription medications must have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency. The imprints must be logged with the FDA and enable someone to look up the dosage and manufacturer. Thus, when you receive the same medication from your pharmacy, but it looks different or has different markings, that means it has been manufactured by a different company. The tablet with the 104 marking is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies this as a narcotic a...

When I had my prescription filled the pharmacist mentioned that at some point I may feel like it's not working anymore - She said that it would be a mistake to stop taking it. Does that mean it will kick in again after some time? ## Our bodies do tend to get used to anything we take over a long period of time, according to NIH reports, but there is no specific time frame that can be applied. it can vary from person to person. And no, it will usually not start working, again, unless you take a break from it, and try something else for awhile, in the meantime. How is it working for you, so far? Has there been any change?

I'll do you a favor and save you at least 1&1/2 days which ='s wasting 36 hours calling dozens of doctors trying and hoping to find just even a single one who will accept even any kind of insurance (let alone yours). Not even any or even a one doctor will accept any medical insurance for suboxone treatment/ prescription and if you do find that one doctor in the NY tri-state area, please let me know. Legally/according to law, they away required and have to accept your insurance as payment, if they participate/accept your health insurance plan.

Where can I fill my prescription st. Louis mo? ## Where can I get oxycodone 80 mg filled in st. Louis mo? ## I'm not in St. Louis, so I really can't give you an answer to that, but I can give you some advice that may help you with locating it. My first piece of advice is don't call the pharmacies asking if they carry it. The reason for this is because, in most cases, you will not get an accurate answer. Due to the risk of theft, most pharmacies will just automatically tell you no, they do not keep it in stock. When you are just a voice on the phone, they have no way of knowing if you are a real customer with a legitimate prescription, or a thief that may come in later to rob them. This means you will actually have to physically go in to the pharmacies in your area, so you ca...

What does the acc on quetiapine fumarate 25 mg acc mean? And is there a difference from the same thing w/ out the acc? ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? That's just an abbreviation for the manufacturer, which in this case is Accord Healthcare, so no, there is no difference, since this is a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies.

I was recently perscribed tylonal 3s with codine for pain for an absess in my tooth and on the bottle hand written in black pen is the letters xy what does that mean ## Also I was perscribed penicilian at the same time and there is nothing hand written on that bottle ## Those types of markings are just used by the pharmacy to show that the prescription and tablet count were double checked for accuracy. Learn more Acetaminophen details here. Learn more Codeine details here. It's often done with any medications that contain narcotics or other controlled substances, especially if the prescription was originally handled by a pharmacy technician. That marking shows that an actual pharmacist double checked everything, before you were given the pills. It's really an extra way for the p...

I took accutane in the early 90's when I was in my 20's. I took all but the last "phase" of the prescription. I had no problems with it at the time. The only warning from my dermatologist was don't get pregnant. In 2009 I developed a blood disorder and autoimmune disorder. I have pain in my joints and fatigue. My husband is convinced that it is from accutane. I have had many stays in the hospital because of this. Has anyone else developed these or similar symptoms? ## Hi, yes, I have been diagnosed with multifocal motor neuropathy recently, which is believed to be autoimmune and currently has no cure.

Please share information about this drug, what it is used for, etc... ## Based on the spelling, I think you may have meant to say "Januvia" (sitagliptin phosphate). Is that correct? Januvia is an oral prescription medication marketed for managing type-2 diabetes. MedlinePlus.gov states that it works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. According to the manufacturer's claims, Januvia can reportedly lower blood sugar more than Metformin alone and is said to be very powerful in that regard. Drug Class: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors - (antihyperglycemic) Manufacturer: Merck & Co. Dosing: Januvia is said to be taken once a day with or without food. I hope this helps!

Whwere to fill my rx of 112 30mg of oxycodone in jax fl today! ## Unfortunately, what any pharmacy has in stock, at any given time, can be very dynamic information, which means that even if we had access to it, they may use up their supply, before you could get there with your prescription. However, the best advice I can give you is to actually go to the pharmacies, with your prescription in hand to see if they can fill it for you. If you just call them, they have no way of knowing if you are a real customer with a legitimate need, or a potential thief, so they usually will not provide you with an accurate answer. Has anyone else had any luck finding them in Florida?

I picked up my prescription of Oxycodone 30 Mg Imm Rel Tabs on 1.24.2012 at 4:30 pm. After counting them this (about 3:30 p.m.), I found out that I only have 17 left. There is no way that I could have consumed 12 or 13 tabs since yesterday. Could the pharmacy accidentally miscounted them? How do I go about finding out about this? I am extrremely careful in taking care of my pain medication. I am a chronic pain suffered after sustaining injuries 2 yrs. ago in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. Thank you. ## I'm sorry, but once you have left the pharmacy, there is really nothing you can do to prove that they shorted you on the pill count. I am sorry that it means you'll run out early, but this is simply the fact of the matter. There are people that would take that many in a ...

Hello, I was prescribed amoxicillin for my tooth. It is decaying. It's black, but what do you expect? Ha. Anyways I have no signs of infection (I don't think) and by that I mean I don't have any swelling. It hurts (of corse half my tooth is gone), but that's it. She had a very strong accent and I think she said when it starts sweeping just start taking them. The prescription says start taking them ASAP... But I guess I'm battling an issue with myself because I don't feel an infection? So why should I take them? ## Hello, Spaz! How are you? If the tooth hurts and is blackened, then there most likely is an infection. Otherwise, it would only be sensitive to something very hot or cold, when you eat or drink. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, di...
