Why Is This Medicine Taken

Please tell me what kind. Of pill is a lortab367 I was getting the lortab10/500mg.is this the same kind of medicine ## Hello, Sheila! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to clear this up for you. The tablet with the M 367 marking is listed as containing 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, which is a generic for Lortab. Learn more Lortab details here. So, it is the same as what you were taking, but has a lower amount of Acetaminophen in it. Generally, if you've been taking it for awhile, your doctor will lower the dose of the Acetaminophen, due to the fact that long-term use of high amounts of it may cause liver damage, or liver failure. But, did your doctor mention changing the dosage? They should have informed you, if so. In a few months, all formul...

Can you please suggest what pills are these and the names so that I can check on net, if it is safe.

my husband had a stroke ## The Stroke may be a part of the problem. If your husband recently began taking Dilantin, it may be a matter of not finding the correct dosage for his body and particular needs. I began taking Dilantin when I was a child. I felt weird! It took a little time for my body to get used to the drug, and for the doctors to find the right dosage. During my years 16-32 I no longer took Dilantin. As a young adult the seizure activity returned. Starting the regular dosage of Dilantin I felt like a ZOMBIE. It took a little while for my body & brain to adjust to Dilantin again. It is frustrating to a patient, feeling like they are living in two worlds at one time. Laugh when you can, it's good medicine! Count your blessings! ## March 17,my husband was put on dilanti...

amlodipine issued dec 8,2009 is it expired already? atorvastatin issued sept 16, 2010 is it expired already ## If you received them from a pharmacy, in the type of bottles that the pharmacy's use, then the expiration date is generally one year from the date it was dispensed. Thus, if they filled the Amlodipine on 12/08/09, the expiration would have been 12/07/10. Atorvastatin filled 09/16/10 would have en expiration of 09/15/11. They do not get dangerous after that date, but they do start to lose effectiveness and may not work as well at treating the relevant medical conditions.

what med is best for hypothyroid ## There is no one medication that is best, since they can all work differently for different people.

The oxymorphone bill does not have morphine in it what is a narcotic besides oxycodone I know the oxycodone is in it what is the other narcotic and it is there another one ## Hello, Foxy! How are you? No, there is no Oxycodone in this, either. Oxymorphone is the active ingredient, it is a narcotic on its own. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What pain medication can I take if I am allergic to Morphine and Dilaudid? Tried Hydroco/Ace but did not relieve any of my back pain.
