I am 43 years old and one month pregnant. Can I take flustat? ## Based on my research, Flu-Stat Capsules contain the following active ingredients: (Acetaminophen + Caffeine + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Phenylephrine Hydrochloride + Vitamin C). When it comes to pregnancy, it's usually best to discuss which drugs are safe with your doctor first, in case he or she has special instructions outside of the norm. However from what I could gather, Acetaminophen is believed to be safe in pregnancy when used intermittently for short durations. Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine on the other hand are only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risk. For reasons like this I would also suggest getting a second opinion from your doctor. I don't think you can ever be too s...

When should I use stat flush an b clear before a test ( time frame ) ## Take pills 3 hours before appointment. With 36 - 40 oz of Water within 10 minutes. Urinate at least 3 times. When at the lab, let the beginning of the urine stream in toilet, then in cup, and the last part of steam in the toilet, because the drug where it most lies at is at the beginning and end of the urine stream. So try to only capture the middle of the stream. The pills allows to mask the drug for a 4-5 hour window. This 4-5 hours becomes effective exactly an hour of consuming the pills. Good luck. It worked for me twice.

I have a case of the gout and this medican was prscbr: for me by my Dr. to treat my gout i have taken 4 pills 1 every 12 hr (2 pre day) it has not gotten better ## Predisone is a steroid class medication and while it can help with the inflammation that can occur from gout, it is unlikely that it will treat the underlying cause, which is excess uric acid, so is isn't likely to really help clear up the condition. It may also cause some side effects, such as: nausea, weight gain and fluid retention, which could actually worsen your condition. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Here is a link to more details about gout, its causes and treatments: Steroids are, sometimes, used, but, as I stated above, they don't always treat the entire problem for everyone that tries them. ## ...
