Hi, I'm suffering from dust allergies from last 3/4 years. Finally doctor told me to take telekast-L for 3 months then it will be clear but I'm using more than 3 months now it is under control but is not cure. If the medicine will stop for two to three days the all problems are felling like nausea, cough in chest, breathing problem. Please suggest me which is the best medicine for my conditions. I'm always worrying about this. ## Dear Prasanna, Unfortunately, there is no such medicine that can completely cure allergy. The best thing anyone can do is to avoid such allergens like dust. Doctor prescribed you telekast -L to get rid of the symptoms but not the route cause. Because, our environment is so polluted everyone allergic to dust should use mask all the time when in the t...

Need to know all of the ingredients, active and inactive/other, of Adco-Bisocor please, as I am allergic to lactose, citric acid, etc. ## Sorry, I am new to this forum and do not know the ropes yet. This is not a reply, I am only trying to be more specific. As I use quite a few different chronic medications and am allergic to some ingredients, I need to know as much as possible about them. As my dr could not get hold of the regular CiplaZar 100 I usually take, he had to substitute it with Bilocor. As they both are generics, the inactive ingredients may differ and I was hoping that Bilocor does not contain the accursed citric acid and lactose which seem to be in more or less everything I have to take. Taking ten different chronic medications, the effect of all allergens combined is devas...

I have just been prescribed tanganil as I experienced very bad side effect with vastarel which I took after a bad ear infection which resulted in part deafness in one ear. The Vastarel gave me vertigo, headache I felt sleepy all the time. I thought my middle ear was the problem, but the doc. said it has to be the vastarel. I hope tanganil will work for me. ## Hi, I have had major surgery on both ears and from time to time get bad vertigo. In the UK they prescribe Stemitel. I don't know it's generic name, but it takes about five days to work. When I got an attack in France they sold me Tanganil over the counter; worked like magic. I am not qualified to comment medically. I can only say I brought a packet back to the UK and that is what I will use next time.

I have a serious ear infection. I have surgery on monday morning. What can i take to ease the pain? ## Hi Jasmine, Sorry to hear about your ear infection. I see that you posted this message back on Feb. 11th (over a week ago)...Were you able to find anything yet to manage the pain? My first thought would be to contact your surgeon and/or anesthesiologist since they should be informed prior to the surgery about whatever it is you're taking that may or may not interfere with their operation or any medicine they give you during the operation. I don't know what type of surgery you're having, but in most cases the surgeon provides patients with pre and post op instructions. Best wishes to you!

Does this medication contain any dairy products? If yes, then why? So many people are intolerant to dairy products and a major sign of opioid withdrawal is stomach upset. This can cause the person that is prescribed the medication to think that they need to take more when it is actually causing them stomach upset, pain, and discomfort. I understand that drug companies are out to make money but allergens should not be added to any medication. If allergens are in food then the label clearly states which allergens are in the food on the package. Why not prescription drugs?

Hi I'm 17 years old, I went to the doctor yesterday, he said that I had an ear infection along with a throat infection. I also had an headache and a high temperature 39 almost 103. The doctor gave me clamoxin 500 two tablets a day one before breakfast and another before I sleep also Gripmin SR 10 tablets. Is that a good dosage for my age and for my symptoms? Also my headache has been getting worse and I'm tired and sleepy almost all the time. ## You should take the medications as instructed by your doctor.

## My son was taking the Ciprodex eardrops and I was wanting to know if it can cause hives anywhere on the body? He also has been having vomiting and diarrhea. ## ANY medication can cause an allergic reaction that might cause hives. Please contact your doctor to change medications. That is the prudent next step whenever anyone has an allergic reaction to a medication.

The treatment for a person who is alegetic to sulphite. ## Unfortunately, there is really no treatment, other than using antihistamines to help alleviate the allergic reaction. However, the best solution, as explained by the NIH, is to avoid the allergen triggers, such as anything containing sulfites. How did you discover that you were allergic? Are you allergic to sulfites or just sulfur?

my three year old was giving this med. for a ear infection and a toe infection, he has had bad diaper rash for 2 days and has not been sleeping in his own bed room before we wouldn't have a problem. could it be from this medication. he screams when we want him to go to bed he stays up till at least 2am. ## Hello, Joe! How is your son doing? It would be best to have it checked out by his doctor, that diaper rash may actually be due to a yeast infection, which most antibiotics can cause as side effects and, if that is the case, he'll need an antifungal cream to clear it up. As to the other issues, yes, this medication has been known to cause insomnia and headaches, as side effects according to the U.S. FDA. He may also experience nausea and diarrhea. How much longer will he be tak...
