Does this pill contain FD&C yellow 5 or blue 1 dye? These dyes cause me to itch. They are a by-product of coal tar which I'm allergic to. ## Well, Isosorbide Mononitrate is a generic, so it is manufactured by several different companies and they don't all have to use the same inactive ingredients. Thus, I can't actually answer your question, without having more information. Are there any markings on them? Or is there a manufactured listed on the bottle by your pharmacy? If you can post back with this additional information, I'll gladly check into it for you. Learn more Isosorbide details here. ## on the front of pink oval pills 30mg. On the back it is MM or WW The manufacter may be NABP

## There was an ointment that my mother would use when we would get a cut or blister or anything that might get infected. This was before antibiotics or antibacterial. It was coal black and smelled slightly of tar or sulphur. She would apply the ointment and bandage the cut and leave for a few days. When the bandage was removed the skin would be healed and looked white for awhile but there would be no scarring or discoloration. Do you know what this was and if so is it available today. I would love to have it as I am sensitive to antibiotics. ## Possibly ichthammol? ## An old-fashioned remedy for deep wounds that must heal from the inside out is: Clean wound with hydrogen peroxide. Pack wound with dry grated raw sugar. Cover with air-tight tape. Do not disturb for 5 days. Repeat treatme...

Phenol (also called carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C6H5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). Mildly acidic, it requires careful handling because it can cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar, but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum-derived feedstocks. It is an important industrial...

I've been on Adderall since I was a kid and never had an issue in terms of the Teva generics. Like most people I've read about, I don't like the Corepharma at all, but since I moved to the middle of nowhere, I'd have to start getting my 30mg Adderall at Kinney Drugs, which uses this Aurobindo stuff. I am convinced that it's totally causing me some unknown problems. I had a massive foot infection from cellulitis that sent me to the hospital a couple weeks ago. I was on antibiotics etc for 3 days, got over it just fine, and now that I've recently filled it again, I am again noticing my foot inflaming etc, and I've had to start coupling it with what I have left of antibiotics. I have a disfigurement in my feet, called a tarsal coalition, common for people with i...

want to use Mazon soap & ointment for itch & skin rash. I am allergic to wheat, wool, chcken eggs & milk. As a child Mazon soap & ointment was used with success. ## Hello, Lois! How are you? I'm sorry about your multiple allergies. Mason Medicated Cream is still available, the manufacturer even has a telephone ordering center, you can reach them at 888-418-2783. The FDA classifies this an over the counter product, so it isn't regulated and its active ingredients are listed as being salicylic acid, resorcinol and coal tar. The only known side effects are skin redness and irritation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The massage therapist at my Chiropractor's office, whom I gave a jar of Mazon cream, never complained about skin irritation and itchiness...
