I found a very small white, round pill. One side says Watson & the other has 847 imprinted. Can you identify it? Thank you. ## I found an exact match, white with 847 on one side and watson on the other, it is Low-ogestrel 28. This drug prevents ovulation. This medication also changes your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do.

I believe this drug was the old alternative to HRT. I have been taking it for 4 years and it works. However, I have been alarmed by pharmaceutical industry friends pointing out that it contains a narcotic. I have recently cut back to 1/2 pill per day BUT have been gaining weight despite following fairly strictly the Weight Watchers program. Are any of the ingredients (belladonna, ergot or phenobarb) known for affecting metabolism? If so, perhaps mine has been slowed recentlyby my reduction of the does. Help please!! ## To Brigid Brown: I have just recently been prescribed the belladonna/ phenobarb tab for heart burn. Does it really work because I still have heartburn?

does anybody know if prenatal pills will make me fertile? ## Do prenatal peals make me fertile ? ## Because prenatal vitamins are not supposed to contain any hormones, they will probably not make a difference in fertility. They are mainly intended to give your body super nutrition so that when you bear a child, you won't become too iron or calcium deficient. Also, I've heard that hair and nails grow stronger, and there are some women who take prenatal vitamins all the time, not just when they are pregnant. I may be wrong about the no hormone part, since there are so many different kinds out there. If anybody hears otherwise, please let me know!

Where is Novarel HCG manufactured? Is it safe? There is a generic HCG that is made in India and that doesn't sound very safe to me. Any feedback would be appreciated. ## You would probably be amazed to know that many of the name brand drugs sold in the US are made in foreign countries. Where they are made does not matter, if they are legally available in the US then they all have to meet FDA quality standards, even if they are generics.

I would like to hear from women using the Alora estrogen patch. I am currently using the Estradiol patch and find it does not want to stay stuck on for the full week. Is Alora better? ## The Alora patch stays on if you put it on dry skin. I try to keep it dry. I keep water off of it while bathing.

I have been taking Nora_Be 0.35mg tabs for over year to decrease heavy bleeding during pre menopausal symptoms. It has workded, however for the past 10-12 months I have experienced terrible muscle spasms and tight contracted muscles in my legs and hips. At times it is extrememly difficult and painful to walk. I have tried numerous PT. and yoga to alleviate this with minimal success. I have decided to stop taking any oral medication to rule out this as a possible cause. Anyone else experience this as a possible side effect? ## I suggest speaking with your doctor, it could be a complication caused by the medication, but it is also possible that it is caused by something else entirely.

Hey~ Does anyone know if this product is vegan? Thanks! ## My Pharmacist told me it was vegan. I'm trying to find out if it has brewer's yeast as one if it's supplements because I am allergic to it. Telling me it was vegan was the reply. so, i still really don't know if it has brewer's yeast. ## Sorry, I cannot find anything that lists the exact ingredients on this. I would suggest explaining your allergy to your doctor, so he/she understands why you are concerned, or speaking to a pharmacist who may be able to check all the ingredients for you.
