What would be the appropriate strength to take? Glycomet GP1 one tablet a day which means 1mg of Gimepiride and 500mg of metformin or Glycomet GP2 half tablet a day which means 1mg of Gimepiride and 250mg of metformin. ## What are you blood sugar levels?

Just received new script 240mgs twice a day. Original script was 200mgs twice day. Is 240mgs twice a day safe? ## Hello, Scared One! How are you? There is really no upper limit, when it comes to narcotics for pain management. It depends on the person, their pain levels and their tolerance to the relevant medication. For instance, when someone is suffering severe intractable pain from cancer and are nearing the end, studies have proven that high levels of narcotics to make them comfortable do not hasten death and greatly improve their remaining lifespan. Did you doctor mention raising your dosage?

how to use duxil; before the food or after the food; inter-action with the food or medication ## Duxil contains the active ingredient Almitrine, it used to treat respiratory conditions. As to your questions, I am sorry, but this medication isn't approved and used in the U.S., so the information we have on it is limited and I cannot locate any of those details. Have you tried asking your doctor or chemist? Even the few information pages I have found list these details as being unavailable.

what is the maximum mg/kg dose for a 5 year old with ear infection? ## That would be a matter you would need to dicuss with your doctor or pharmacist, the maximum dose will depend on the severity of the infection plus the child and their tolerance to the drug, if they have used it before, if other antibiotics haven't worked and etc. ## Child under 10 - 125 up to 250mg TDS. However if your kid had a prob with Amoxil the fricking MD sholddnt have Rxd it in the first place!

Question: what would happen if you accidentally took two doses of Hydrochlorothiazide Losartan 100/2mg once a day in a 12 hour period of time? I thought I forgot to take it today!

can a 72 year old woman with diabetes take 3 capsules @500 mg Tylenol at one time if total of 8 capsules a day are not exceeded ## Yes, the worst it might do is upset your stomach or make you a little drowsy. Many people have prescriptions for Ibuprofen which range in dosages from 600mgs each tablet and up. I am currently only 800mgs Prescription Ibu and usually take two tablets at once, so total of 1600mgs. ## Betty: Why would you want to do this. First, speak with your health care providers. Then, follow proper dosing directions. Diabetics must be very careful regarding all substance intake due to hiddent sugars, carbs, etc. Remember, tylenol contains acetaminphen which can cause liver damage in excess. The mgs in Tylenol and the mgs of ibuprophen are different! ## Betty: Remember...t...

i have been prescribed with fluconazole 150 for my yeast infection for 6 consecutive nights. yesterday night was suppossed to be the last one, but i forgot to take it! what should i do? ## What did you end up doing? You should have taken it as soon as you remembered. This isn't really as touchy as an antibiotic, since it's an antifungal, so the spacing of the dosages doesn't have to be exact . Has the infection been clearing up, yet? Any time that you have a question like this, please don't be afraid to ask your doctor or pharmacist, they will be happy to help you.

I usually put my Lexapro tablet in my back pocket before taking with dinner. Recently I found a tablet in my pocket which I guess I forgot to take at some point. The same week I had noticed feeling some of my old symptoms back after feeling ok for some weeks I'm wondering if missing one tablet could have caused that relapse ? For example, does the tablet I take today help me for the next 24 hours ? Or is its affect less direct and more cumulative over time ? Hope somebody understands my question ! ## Hello, Fred! How are you doing? Has there been any change? No, usually missing only one dose shouldn't cause such issues, though I do highly recommend finding a better storage spot for your pills, your back pocket is not idea. The FDA suggests investing in an inexpensive pill carrie...

Are you on any other medications?

I just got my brothers autopsy report back and it says he died from overdose of Fentanyl and Methone . It says no alcohol. Methone amount was.05 fentanyl was .19 is that enough for someone to die? ## I am so very sorry for your loss. There's no specific range that can be given to answer your question. It depends on the person, their age, weight, overall health and their tolerance to narcotics. Some people can take quite a lot and not have a problem, while other may overdose at much lower doses. The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic opiates, so there is a risk of them being habit forming and abused. Their typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Did he have any medical conditions?
