It may also cause constipation and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## my tummy aches after i take cherifer pgm with zinc. is it okay...

pain meds make me very nauseated

I cannot take narcotic pain meds, as I get very sick in the stomach. I have a wound vac and have gotten it replaced. It's very painful without pain medications. What are the best pain meds that aren't narcotics? ## Hello, sorry to hear this. Many people get an upset stomach. If you have not tried it yet take a narcotic pain med and try having a meal, then wait 15-20 mins and take a dose. Then after 10-15 mins eat a piece of dry toast. This method has worked with a lot of people. The problem is there really are not any none narcotic pain meds that work well on moderate to moderately severe pain. And if there was one, the major pharma companies would buy it and not let it out... lol. ## Zandy, how are you doing? I'm sorry that you're suffering. Have you tried making sure t...

Indigestion problem

My eating habits consist of smaller food portions which lead to more frequent bathroom trips. My first bowel movement usually occurs quickly within a span of 5 to 10 minutes, similar to most individuals. However, I often feel the pressure for a second stool to come out shortly thereafter. This sequence repeats around 3-4 times during my initial bathroom break, consuming a total of 30 to 40 minutes. I typically visit the bathroom twice in the morning and once in the evening. My fibroscan report showed normal results, but my vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels are significantly low. As a remedy, I've been taking a 1500 mcg dose of methylcobalamin twice a day. I also drink a glass of buttermilk each morning. Can anyone else relate? What are some effective remedies for indigestion? ## Hi. ...

Prilosec interactions with other drugs

Is there a generic: any different from Prilosec, what does it do? ## Omeprazole is the generic for Prilosec and it's sold over the counter, no doctor needed. It is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks gastric acid secretions--acid reflux or GERD. ## Some insurances will cover it though so you should always have the doctor write the scripts for any over the counter medications and the pharmacy will try to put it thru your insurance. Mine covers omeprazole. my Zyrtec . Ibuprofen so if you dont try every med how will you know right ## You can learn more about Prilosec here. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, stomach pain, gas, and headache.

small square pill with CC 59

I have a small square pill with CC on one side and 59 on the other side. What is it used to treat? ## I've yet to come across the CC 59 imprint, but did however, locate square pills with CC 60 and CC 61 respectively (perhaps they may be related). A square white pill with CC 61 is reportedly a Famotidine 40mg tablet with a National Drug Code of 65862-0860 A square yellow pill with CC 60 is reportedly a Famotidine 20mg tablet with a National Drug Code of 65862-0859 I don't know what color your pill is, but I'm under the impression that it may be a 10mg Famotidine tablet. If you're able to, I'd consider taking it into a local pharmacy just to double check for that possibility. For verification, the pills mentioned above are manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma. Famotidine i...
