Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 108)

I would like to know if anyone has used this and their opinion. I am also looking for a store that sells this product. ## Contac Allergy/Sinus Day medication contains Dextromethorphan + Acetaminophen (APAP). Both of these ingredients can be found over-the-counter at your local drug store (Walgreens, CVS, etc). I personally haven't used this medication, but I do highly recommend trying out raw local honey if you do suffer from bad seasonal allergies. Eating raw local honey can actually relieve seasonal allergies. It is said to work much like an allergy shot in that it exposes you to small amounts of allergens to help your body build immunity to the allergens. When bees pollinate to make honey, they bring back allergens from the flowers, trees, and other plants. This leaves small trac...

I started taking this medicine approximately 3 weeks ago and I have had a nagging cough for about 2 weeks. Could this medicine have anything to do with the cough? ## It is a hormonal based medication, so in theory it shouldn't, but it's difficult to know how any given medication will affect anyone that uses it. Have you consulted your doctor about the issue?

I found a blue pill imprinted with "l 432". would that also be a sudafed type drug? ## Yes, it is usually sold under the name SudoGest and contains 30mgs of Pseudoephedrine, a decongestant used to treat cold symptoms. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, irritability and nervousness. Read more: Are there any comments or questions? ## But be sure you have the prescription sudafed/sudagest. The OTC ones are too weak.

Round red pill with beveled edge. Imprint, 'S44', is faded, but looks to have been originally white in color (kind of like the imprint on m&m's, i think ???) . Text is located on one side of pill only, the other side is blank. ## This is an over the counter cold remedy, it contains Guaifenesin and Phenylephrine. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## This was packaged in a Walgreen's brand Sleep Aid but the child proof cap seemed strange and the pill bottle had blue caplets on it! Was supposed to be Diphenhydramine Hcl 25mgs. This a huge problem, right? ## could the pills be stool softeners? my father just bought some at CVS, but the safety plastic came off too easily... the pills a...

I found a suspicious pill that doesn't look American or FDA approved. It is a half white, half pink capsule with a black stripe on each side. It does not have any branding or coding on it. ## The lack of an imprint doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't a U.S. product, or that it isn't FDA approved. Over the counter items aren't required to have unique imprints and list them with the FDA. That said, while I can be certain that's what these are, I have seen some Diphenhydramine capsules that meet this description, they were sold as a store brand of Benadryl. Does anyone else recognize this capsule?

WILL IT HELP U GAIN WEIGHT ## No, that is not a normal side effect of Cyproheptadine. Normal side effects can include: drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth and restlessness. Read more: Do you have any other questions? ## Yes it does help gain weight. I took it for about 3 weeks 3 times a day and gained 35 lbs all in the right places. I was drowsy and aggravated though

Do you sell, or recommend pharmacies that sell, this medication? Does the SA have anything to do with sustained release? I am looking for a non-dye-non-additive medication that is only guai as medication and has as few as possible inert and stabilizer additives, but one that takes 12 hours to be depleted in bloodstream. ## This site is an information only website, they don't sell, nor prescribe/recommend any medications, they are also not affiliated with any pharmacies. In this case the SA stands for sustained action, which is the same as sustained release, or time released. As to finding one that lasts that long and has as few other ingredients as possible, have you tried asking your local pharmacist? They may be able to help you find one that meets your needs.

When can I get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ## Nasacort HFA is only available by prescription. Have you checked with your local pharmacy to see if they carry it? It contains the active ingredient Triamcinolone, which is a steroid class medication and due to the risk of possible side effects, you do have to have your doctor's approval and a prescription to purchase it. Learn more: ## Yes, and I have called the manufacturer. They have not actually manufactured the product yet. This is what happened an number of years ago with a similar product. I do believe drug companies make more money with a water-based product. However, this time the manufacture's customer service dept. states that they are going to truly make the produce this time. Maybe available in a few months. If you know different...

I was given Nitrofur Macr 100 Mg to take twice daily for a bladder infection. After 4 full days of treatment, told doctor the following, have had fevers, tremors, dizziness and WORST side effect of all a hacking dry cough. He said stop immediately. Still have cough. How long does this cough usually last? Also, would not recommend this to anyone. there must be better medications out there. Thanks ## I have also had the same problems with this medication. Problems breathing and a hacking cough. It also made me so drowsy that I am scared to drive my car. I also informed the doctor that I am pretty sure I also have a kidney infection from my bladder infection, and I read that this does not treat both. Should I stop taking this medication? I am only on day 2 of a 7 day treatment. ## It can t...

used in combination with other preparations such as promethazine and dexamethasone ## I didn't find anything listed under the name Walt, even playing around with some variations. Is this a store brand? Do you know what the active ingredient is? If you can please post back with more information, I'll gladly check for you.

Mucinex is not the same as Humibid, different fillers, doesn't work as well, fillers give me palpitations, etc... Why do they always take something off the market in the USA when it is superior to the other product? Anyone know where to buy the real deal Humibid? ## The active ingredient is the same, Guaifenesin, but yes, the fillers can be different. It may simply be a matter of trial and error to find a medication containing it that works for you. Have you tried asking your pharmacist to help you find one? ## No, our pharmacists are not very people friendly here in Ct. I am very sensitive to medications OTC or prescribed. I wish I could find the same formulation.

I am using Texa10 for nasal allergies at night, it contains cetirizine. I am going on a cruise, could I take avomine for travel sickness with this medication. I also use Beclate aquanase nose spray in the mornings. Please advise. ## Hi Yvonne, From what I could gather, there "is" an interaction between Cetirizine and Avomine (promethazine). The interaction warning states the following: "MONITOR: Concurrent use of cetirizine or levocetirizine with alcohol or other agents that exhibit central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects (such as promethazine) may result in additive impairment of mental alertness and performance. Several studies have shown no effect of racemic cetirizine on cognitive function, motor performance, or sleep latency as indicated by objective measurement...

Is The White Side Of Allegra D Or Tan Pseudoephedrine ## I haven't been able to find any information that specifies, it is possible that the answer is neither, that may just be how they designed the pill to look and both active ingredients may be evenly dispersed through both sides. Does anyone have more information on this?

i took 2 small pink pills of a gemeric benadryl once yesterday and the day before at night will this cause a dirty ua today ## There is no way to say that it will definitively cause a false positive, but the Diphenhydramine has been known to cause them for PCP. Are there any other questions or comments?

1 REPLY

I'm looking at the same pills, but these are in a casing. The back indicates that each pill contains 25 mg of Diphenhydramine HCL. So these are either generic Benadryl or Unisom. ## Hello, I noticed in another thread, there was a user who claimed that this pill is Loricet 10. She doesn't provide any proof of this, but I was curious to know if you could? Theres a lot of mixed information floating around the net, and 44 357 imprint does not show up on the drug databases I've checked so it would be good to know whats real and what's not based on photos or maybe a link to the manufacturer's page if you're able to do so. Thanks for any help clarifying this! -David ## generic sleeping pills
