This pill is not ibuprophen 200mg. I looked it up because i had a similar looking pill, but this was white and on one side had the numbers 420 circled. There is a similar pill that is used in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and chrones disease plus theres more uses for it. It is also white but has the number 54 on the top and 420 on the bottom of it all on one side if the pill the other side is just plain white, and nothing is circled on it ,it is called mercaptopurine 50mg , you do not want to take this pill thinking its ibuprophen you might experience some strange side effects such as dizziness, nausiousness, and sometimes head aches that can turn into migraines. ## Hey Carma king, I'm a little puzzled by your description where you mentioned that the white round pill with ...

Allopurinol TabletsN ## I have been prescribed zyloric 100 mg for kidney stone side effects and efficacy need to be known ## Side-effects of Zyloric (Allopurinol) are rare, though significant when they occur. A small percentage of people develop a rash and must discontinue this drug. The most serious adverse effect is a hypersensitivity syndrome consisting of fever, skin rash, eosinophilia, hepatitis, worsened renal function, and, in some cases, allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome. Allopurinol is one of the drugs commonly known to cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TENS), two life-threatening dermatological conditions. Allopurinol can cause severe pancytopenia if given with azathioprine or mercaptopurine, due to inhibition of xanthine oxidase, which m...

I'm a 66 year old male who has suffered with moderate to (mostly) severe UC for 13 years. I have used these and other physician ordered drugs with unsatisfactory results and even Merkel Cell cancer while taking 6 Mercaptopurine to suppress my immune system. I could have died from the cancer. I live in New Jersey where I easily qualified for medical marijuana (cannabis). I now live a completely normal life without UC flares. My medical oncologist just discharged me after I survived over 5 years after a cancer that I had a 25% chance of surviving for 2 years. I'm now cancer free. I now enjoy the best UC symptom relief with only cannabis used two to three times daily. I don't anticipate a return of Merkel Cell cancer because I'm no longer suppressing my immune system. Canna...
