My dad underwent oral surgery and cannot swallow. He is on a liquid diet and on this med. He is diabetic. The medicine is crushed and mixed with variety of food but he is not taking the medicine. It is extremely bitter. What can this powdered form be mixed with so that it helps him? Thanks ## Since this is a time released medication, it is not safe to crush it. That could result in overdose, because he may get too much of the medication, at once. It would be best to consult his doctor as he may need to switch to a regular release medication, for awhile, or possibly insulin. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

What does the sod stand for on phenytoin sod ext its a 100 mg purple and white capsule ## Why is it becoming more difficult to find xanax on The streets? ## What does SOD DR EC mean on the Diclofenac bottle? ## The SOD stands for Sodium, it designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, that's why some list sodium, some list hydrochloride and etc. As to the DR on a prescription, just like XR, SR, ER and quite a few others, it designates that medication as being time released.

trying to find out the difference between divalproex500mg dr and divalproex 500mg er ## There actually is no difference, they are just different abbreviations that mean the same thing. The DR stands for delayed release and the ER stands for extended release, they both just denote that the medication is in a time released formulation, so it isn't released all at once, when it's taken. You may also see it abbreviated as SR, for sustained release, CR for controlled release or just XR. Divalproex, also known as Valproate Semisodium, is most commonly used to treat manic episodes of Bipolar Disorder. It may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, weight gain and decreased coordination. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments?

I've been taking Gyree 4 and Cetapin XR 500 in the morning before breakfast and another dose of Cetapin XR 500 at night, before dinner, per my doctor's instructions. This regiment has kept my blood sugar under control for quite some time. However, after a seizure resulted from an overdose of Synasma, my treatment was adjusted by another physician to Glyree 4 in the morning and Cetapin XR 500 at night, which also maintained my blood sugar levels well. Ten months later, with my glucose level dropping to 53, the physician adjusted my treatment to Cetapin 500 in the morning and night. Since this change, my fasting blood sugar averages about 140, with postprandial levels around 180. Could it be beneficial for me to revert back to my previous regimen, with Glyree 4 and Cetapin 500 in ...

I want to know what DR means after the prescription name. The pill is Divaloprex DR 500 mgs. ## It stands for delayed release, designating it as a time released formulation, rather than one that released all of the medication, at once. Other commonly used abbreviations for this can include SR, XR and several others. Divalproex, also known as Valproate Semisodium and is most commonly used to treat the manic episodes associated with Bipolar disorder. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, weight changes and decreased coordination. ## Bipolar youth is significantly more agitated, upset, looking sad, when given depakote med 500 mg. without the DR on label.

I am a diabetic type-2 patient, 78 yrs old, on medication. I am taking Galvus met 500mg before breakfast once daily. My sugar level ranges between 150-210.

What types of foods do you eat? The NIH has some very informative articles on diabetes and a proper healthy diet.

The prescription packaging on my 50,000 units per pill of Vita D, says not to crush or chew before swallowing. "Swallow whole". Why can't these by chewed? My pharmacist didn't know why. Can't swallow pills. ## Does it happen to have anything else on the label, such as ER, XR, SR or anything like that? Some of these are controlled release, so it isn't all released into your body at once and crushing them defeats that and could result in you getting too much of it, at once. Some prescription Potassium tablets come the same way and cannot be crushed, cut or chewed. Other times it is done to prevent the irritation that can occur to the esophagus or stomach from certain medications and supplement. They are specially coated to help prevent this from happening and by cr...
