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...

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.

My boyfriend was just recently put on risperdal about 4 days ago.. they said it would help him with his anger problems..will this medication help him or does he need to quit using it and be switched to another one.?? ## Risperdal is an excellent drug for anger management, however, the benefits will not become apparent for several weeks. Psychotherapy always helps. ## Risperdal contains the active ingredient Risperidone, it is used to treat various mental health issues, and for its sedative like properties, so yes, it may help him a lot, with his anger issues. Ref: Risperdal Information The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, drowsiness, somnolence, and weight changes. Is he on any other medications? What dosage did they put him on?
