Allergen

Antipyrine + Benzocaine

An allergen is a type of antigen that produces an abnormally vigorous immune response in which the immune system fights off a perceived threat that would otherwise be harmless to the body. Such reactions are called allergies. In technical terms, an allergen is an antigen that is capable of stimulating a type-I hypersensitivity reaction in atopic individuals through immunoglobulin E (IgE) responses.[1] Most humans mount significant Immunoglobulin E responses only as a defense a...

Hello, GREAT web info. Can a penicillin allergenic person take amox pot clav 875 125 tab. Thank You... ## Hi Bruce, To answer your question, Penicillin and Amoxicllin are both related, so if I stand correct the risk of having an allergic reaction IS still possible. However, because not all allergens cross over, there are rare cases where someone may take one or the other without experiencing the same allergy. Is it worth taking a chance though? Probably not, in my opinion. I'd encourage you to talk with your doctor and see if he/she can offer you something different altogether. Better safe than sorry! I hope this helps! ## Hello David,Thanks for the reply...

I am bystolic for 4 years. Developed a rash on my entire body could it be the medication. ## Hello, Acicia! How are you? It is possible, but it could also be due to some allergen. Do you have any allergies that you know of? Have you been around any poison ivy or poison oak? It would be best to have it checked out to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Are you on any other medications?

just want to know the difference between morfine sulfer and morfine sulfate? ## There are various compounds related to sulfur, including sulfa, sulfates and sulfites. Variations of sulfur are some such allergens, but each type is different. Choosing between any given one is usually dependent on whether or not you are allergic to the compound. Sulfur compounds derive from sulfur, an essential element to life. No person is allergic to sulfur in its pure form, but some might be allergic to the various forms of sulfur (i.e. sulfate, sulfite, sulfa). I'm not sure why companies don't just use sulfur and not have to worry about making different variations of it, but that is not a question I can answer. This has nothing to do with Morphine itself, just what it is chemically compounded w...

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?

Are there any lactose free cholesterol drugs ## It is very hard to say, since each company that makes them has their own formula of ingredients. ## calcium citrate lactose free ## I am lactose/milk and povidone intolerant. My medications all contain 1 or more of these allergens, Atenolol, Levothyroxine, HCTZ. Taking these with antihistamine (also containing lactose) still triggers migraines daily, for which I take caffeine to counteract. Is there any way I can get allergen free medications. My doctor & pharmacy don't have a clue or don't care to find the answer. I am developing arthritis and dental pain from using these meds. Please help ## I, too, am allergic to lactose (milk) and corn. I just researched and found Levothyroxin made by Sandoz that does not have these ingredi...

Can you die from taking just one hydrocodone 10-650 tablet? ## Hello, Jayallen! How are you? It's very doubtful, but there are a couple of possible scenarios where that could happen…. The first would be if someone were severely allergic to it, in that case just a tiny amount of the allergen could cause anaphylactic shock that may result in death. And the second would be if it were mixed with some other medication(s) that it causes dangerous interactions with. But both scenarios are extremely rare and unlikely. Is there anything else I can help with?

i am suffering from asthama Whether this tablet help me to cure my asthama problem ## First of all, asthma is most commonly caused by an allergy and there is no cure for allergies, though there are some medications and treatments that can help get them under control and lessen your sensitivity to the allergens. As to Cortomycin, it is listed as containing Neomycin, Polymoxin B and Hydrocortisone, it is an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory that is most commonly used to treat infections and, though the Hydrocortisone can help with some allergic reactions, this is really not the right medication to treat asthma. Have you consulted a doctor? You should do so, to get a conformation that it's asthma and, if it is, to get proper treatment.

brain star .8mg prescribed by doctor.medicine not available in leading shops.what are the side effects ? is it approved by FDA? ## Hi kurian, Side effects relating to the ingredients found in Brain Star are definitively regarded as "precautions" as opposed to "side effects". There are warnings for persons who are sensitive to bee products, as this contains beeswax. It also contains the allergenic ingredients of Soya beans (soya) and soya products. If you have any known allergies to what is mentioned above, then I would steer clear of this supplement. The majority of ingredients found in Brain Star are considered to be natural and plant-based (with no clear threat of side effects in my opinion) aside from 5HTP, which does have the potential for side effects if dosing is n...

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?

Im allergic to penicillen and was given cephalexin, can I take them or will it kill me like penicillin will?? ## Hi Franny, Based on my research, Penicillin and Cephalexin are classified as two different types of antibiotics (cephalosporin antibiotics and penicillin antibiotics). However, more information I'm finding states that there is some clinical and laboratory evidence of partial cross-allergenicity of the penicillins and the cephalosporins. Apparently there have been patients who reported severe reactions to both medications. So I don't think any exceptions should be made for Cephalexin in this regard either (at least to play it safe). You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cephalexin Details Was your doctor aware of this before prescribing you the medication?...

so i started taking belviq two days ago and have a rash/hives on my stomach thighs back and arms do i just have to wait for my body to adjust to the drug? ## Hello, Ivy! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. You should have this checked out by your doctor. If what you're experiencing is an allergic reaction, then it's not going to go away. As a matter of fact, repeated exposure to the allergen will usually actually cause such reactions to get worse. The FDA classifies Belviq as a weight loss medication and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, anxiety, bladder pain, cold sweat and cough. Is there anything else I can help with?
