Allergies, Cough & Cold Overview

The common cold or the cold is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the respiratory mucosa of the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx. Signs and symptoms may appear fewer than two days after exposure to the virus. These may include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and fever.

Flonase and Cataracts

Has anyone that has used Flonase got cataracts? I have them because of it and nasonex. Are there any class actions against the makers of this? I would not have used it if I had known. ## Have the doctors definitively tied your cataracts to the medications? We have had other posts on here about vision issues developing from people using these types of medications. The problem, however, is proving they are what caused it. And no, I'm sorry, but I know of no class action suits in regards to this. ## My eye surgeon said they were definately caused by steroids and the only one I have used is flonase. She said she could tell by the location of my cataracts, they are posterior and can only be caused by steroid use. If enough people have this kind, I would think it could be proven. ## i hav...

the medicine Save the Baby

Is the formula for Lee's Save the Baby (liquid in the glass bottle NOT the rub on salve) patent protected, does anyone know how to obtain the formula ## It was made by the Lee's company and yes, it is patent protected. The reason it is no longer available is that it contained Camphor, yes, even in the liquid that was taken internally and the FDA has recognized this as being unsafe. Camphor is now only approved to be used topically. As to the other ingredients, I am sorry, I have been unable to discover that. Does anyone else know? ## We used Save the Baby in the 1970s and got it in Maine. It was made by a family in New York in the late 1800s. It contained Canadian Balsam and was suspended in a lard base. I would heat the bottle up and it would melt into the liquid. Then I would ...

Sinutab - where is it?

I have been trying to find Sinutab, have they quit making it? Why? It was the best allergy relief I found. ## No, the manufacturer still lists a page for it and it being available. It contains Acetaminophen and Phenylephrine. There are actually many products on the market that contain this combination, both generic, store and name brands. Have you tried perhaps asking your pharmacist what else might have the same stuff in it? ## I have, also, been trying to find Sinutab sinus caplets. I called the manufacturer and they said it is no longer sold in New York. There is a K-Mart store in Trenton, New Jersey still carrying it.No help to me. ## I have been looking for Sinutabs in Columbus, Ohio. I also have been trying to order them on line, but no luck. ## I called the manufacturer on Jan. 1...

Fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets 180 mg

I have the fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets in 180 mg dosage. Question: they seem too strong for me--can i split them in half? ## Is there a score line (indent) on the pill? If there is, then it is there specifically for the purpose of cutting the pill in half. Whether or not there is a score line, I would still cut the pill in half if it is needed. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting a lower dose of this medication if you consistently feel the need to use half a dose. NOTE: cutting a pill in half only works if the pill is in tablet form. This just wouldn't work if it is a capsule, since the contents would fall out. Hope this helps! ## thanks for the info. thought this was what i could do. just too much for me in 180 mg dose. thanks again ## I know this is an old topic, but I ...

Azelastine 0.15% or 0.1%

Does anyone know when the drug companies decided to change Azelastine nasal spray from 240 doses to 200 doses? And who is supposed to notify the prescriber’s when they do something like this? I had a huge argument with my allergist because the bottle started getting smaller sometime last year and they must not have believed me because they refused to accept that it was running out early because there were only 200 sprays instead of 240 and I’m pretty sure it’s been like this since June. Does anyone know who is supposed to alert the public if a bottle of nasal spray suddenly decreases the volume by 40 doses? ## How many doses does your pharmacy state should be in the bottle? The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as bitter taste, drowsiness, hea...
