Z Pac Medication

I began the starter pack with 10mg for 2 weeks and then moved up to 20mg for 2 weeks. I experienced the WORST ever side affects from an anxiety drug. I have taken many, and this was unbearable. It caused extreme muscle fatigue to the point that it was difficult to move my arms or legs, and increased my appetite, due to the stomach side affects. Food eased the stomach cramps. The worst side affect was my blood pressure was scary high and my heart beat became irregular and fast. After mentioning these things, I was switched over to Effexor - SOOOO MUCH BETTER!! ## I have been on this for about 2 months and have AWFUL muscle pain in my legs, arms and back. How long do I have to be off this before these side effects go away? These are not the only side effects I have but definately the ones...

there are 2 white pills and 2 brown pills, after I finish those 4 pills do I start taking the blue pills again, or do I wait till sunday? I m on lamictal and doxycycline and my obgyn didn t tell me it can effect my birth control, but I read that specifically lamictal and antibiotics can effect bc? ## Hello, Bre! How are you? Yes, you would continue straight into another pack, even if it's not on a Sunday. The FDA lists the common side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight changes and PMS-like symptoms. Doxycycline can reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives, so you should be using a backup method of contraception, while taking it. The typical side effects of this antibiotic may possibly include nausea, dizziness, he...

Before I went home I removed them from the blister pack not realizing the pills were not marked . Now I'm trying to figure out what they were even called . Any information on these would be greatly appreciated , thanks.

I was switched from Losartan by teva, which I was doing great on to Losartan by pack. Within 2 days my legs have swelled and my blood pressure has gone up. Has anyone else had this problem and how can I get Teva Lorsartan again. ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? Has there been any change? Which one a pharmacy carries depends on which company was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply, so there's no way to know if any pharmacy has the one from Teva in stock. It would actually be best to see your doctor, as edema can be a side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA, so you may need to switch to a different one, or add a diuretic. How long have you been taking it? How high has your blood pressure been going? ## Hi, I called my pharmacy and told them...

My husband has an abcess under his knee and it was cut and packed. What kind of pain meds should i ask for to help his pain once he goes home ## Hello, Yuvette! How is your husband doing? I'm sorry about the problem he's had. However, it isn't wise to ask the doctor for any specific medication. That is often viewed as being drug seeking behavior and will make most doctor's reluctant to prescribe anything. If he needs a pain medication, he should speak to his doctor about what to do for that pain, without asking for any specific drug. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a severe tooth infection since a week. The tooth which is the source of the infection got removed today. My concern is about how to take the leftovers of my antibiotics because I have likely made a mistake in taking it. Here is the story, sorry it's a bit complicated but I hope you understand: Background: Unfortunately I had 3 different dentists due to traveling in Thailand. 04/04/2015 the first dentist gave me Amoxi 500 for 3 times a day every 8h. 11/04. the package was finished, the inflammation of my teeth didn't get much better. I have visited another doctor for removing the bad tooth. He said the former antibiotics were too weak and gave me Augmentin 1g for 2x daily every 12h. So far so good. But I didn't trust this dentist much since first he wanted to pull my t...

Orange Hexagon 5 ## I have looked for this extensively, and unless I am just overlooking it, I can't find it anywhere. Can you provide any other identifying marks, letters or numbers? ## I have checked several databases as well, including the ones I pay to use, nothing here either. I wonder if they were referring to a foreign drug?

So I started my period today (tuesday) and was prescribed sprintec today as well. I'm a bit confused because am I suppose to wait and take the pill this upcoming sunday, or do I start today? If I do take it today should I start with the blue or white pill in the tuesday or sunday section? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? You should start the first day of your period, with the active tablets, not the period week tablets and just start with the first one in the pack. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I also have been prescribed the pill. I was told to start on a Sunday., no matter when my period started. It happened to start on a sunday. So I started taking the pill. I am still having my period. Is this normal?

My boxer ate a z-pack pill. He is 85 pounds. What do I do? ## Azithromycin is used to treat canines, as well as people, so there is most likely nothing to worry about, but it would be best to check with your veterinarian. He may experience some side effects from it, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, drowsiness and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My Jack Russell ate my husband's Azithromycin 250 mg pill. Will she be alright? ## Hi Patricia. Sorry to hear about what happened. Judging from Verwon's previous response, I'm under the shared impression that your dog should be alright. However, it never hurts to contact a veterinarian just to acquire some sense of closure on the topic. Even though Azithromycin is reportedly approved for veterinar...
