Can Time Release Cause Side Effects

Is Vesicare timed release, I have 10mg pills I want to cut in half. ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? No, you cannot cut these tablets, the FDA does include a warning that they must be swallowed whole, not broken, chewed, cut or crushed. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and blurry vision. Is there anything else I can help with?

Took a dose 1/21/2011. Started getting hives 2/15/2011, and continue to get them weekly. From what I have seen on the internet, I would say I have angioedema. I am on a anti-histamine regimen, with poor results. Is it possible that the ZMAX is causing this? ## Are you still taking the Zmax? It contains an extended release formulation of the antibiotic Azithromycin, it is used to treat infections. It is specially formulated to continue working for 10 days and while a skin rash can be a side effect of antibiotics, it is very unlikely that it is what's causing it, so longer after you've taken it. What has your doctor said is causing it? ## First and only dose 1/21/2011. Pfizer notes on there warnings/cautions that skin reactions were noted in some patients even without further azit...

My brother in law was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. It has metastasized to his brain, liver, and bones. He started xalkori a week ago and is having terrible diarrhea. He is still in the hospital and has now been told he has C Diff. He is losing weight, is weak and is always cold. Our family is concerned this is the medication, but it seems to be the C Diff. Has anyone experienced side effects that are so severe just from Xalkori alone? What else should we be looking out for? ## Hello, TJ! How is he doing? This medication does commonly cause diarrhea as a side effect, but not usually that severe. It's actually not considered a worrisome side effect. What are they doing to treat it? ## Hi Verwon. His C Diff has subsided because of the strong antibiotics. He was released ab...

How long does it take for op 20 to take effect? It's time released but 3 hrs later I felt nothing. What's wrong? ## Since it is time released, it is slowly released into your body over a 12 hour period to help achieve longer periods of better pain relief. What were you expecting to feel? Is it helping your pain, at all? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Hi. I suffered a brain injury 14 years ago and have since been through various meds to help control depression, anxiety and digestive issues. I ve been through several anti deppressant drugs like fluoxetine, zoloft, sertraline, citralopram and some others that i can't remember. I ve had adverse effects from all of them, my neurologist says it may not be direct depression but a chemical imbalance in my brain. My new gp said that as i ve had a bad reaction to the other mentioned pills that I should try propanalol 10mg 3 times daily to slow my heart down and therefore ease my anxiety. The 10mg propanalol gave me horrible nightmares and difficulty getting to sleep. I told the doctor and she proceeded to put me on 80mg slow release.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and my gynac prescribed above medicine for days for abdominal pain. Please advise is there any side effect of the same on my baby. ## Hi, Yogi! How are you doing? Congrats on the baby! If your doctor feels you need this, due to the pain you were having, then the risks would be far greater if you didn't take it as prescribed. Isoxsuprine helps increase blood flow to the baby, sometimes when you're pregnant it doesn't flow throughout your abdomen as well as it should due to the added weight of the baby or just sluggish blood vessels.
