Has 44 on top and 332 on bottom. Can anyone identify for me? Thanks ## Unfortunately, I cannot find a listing anywhere for this specific pill. However, I can tell you that these pills marked with a 44 followed by additional numbers are over the counter products. They are sold in many stores as the store brands or generics of other name brand products, such as Tylenol, Aleve and etc. Does anyone else know what this is?

I just started taking sympicort for copd. Can I take tums, ibuprofen, tylenol, or bc powders with this medicine? I am googleing it and it never tells me if I can or not. ## Hello, Amy! How are you? While you are always welcome to ask here, if you wish to research for yourself in the future, look for an interaction checker. That will help you find the information you need. Now, as to the medications in question… No, on the Ibuprofen, it increased the toxicity of the ingredients in the Symbicort. It may cause the Tums to not work as well, since you won't retain an absorb as much of it as usual. As the to BC powders, I can't check those, without knowing the specific ones to check their ingredients. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical sid...

Hi, I suffer with chronic heart burn and would like to know what else i could use. I've tried tums. I can eat a whole bottle and it doesn't help. I've also tried 150mg ranitidine which doesn't help.

Does this drug loose its effectiveness if it is split in half like 90 days before taking it? Also will taking tums (2 - 750 mg tablets) with this drug reduce its effectiveness? ## This is a time released formulation of Metoprolol, so it needs to be taken whole, the tablets should not be cut or broken, because that could cause you to get too much of the medication, at once. If you have a tablet that's been cut or broken, you should discard it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. And yes, Tums will reduce it's efficacy, so if you need an antacid you should look for an alternative. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Mom... I also take 100mg of Metoprolol ER. If y...
