I WAS USING WARREN BRAND ALBUTEROL INHALERS. AND THESE WERE REPLACED WITH ASTHALIN INHALER, I AM NOT FEELING THE SAME LEVEL OF RELIEF NOW. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. I ALSO USE ADVAIR FOR LONG TERM. I HAVE NOTICED THIS WITHIN THE THREE WEEKS OF USE. TODAY I USED ASTHALIN TWICE AND MY CHEST STILL FELT TIGHT AFTER 20 MINUTES. I CAME HOME AND DID AN ALBUTEROL NEBULIZER TREATMENT. I ALSO USED NASONEX THIS MORNING. ## Hi Joe, There is really no way a doctor can know ahead of time how any medication can affect anyone. They can only assume that the new medication they prescribed you will be effective based on medical records, current health, age, what the condition is, whether or not any other medications are being taken at the same time, etc. Any of these factors as well as others can affect...

I am unable to get any antibiotics and a doctor has suggested using allegra D for my strep throat as he says it will work just as well.. can someone confirm that this is the case or if the strep will just get worse and continue until I take some antibiotics to knock it out???? Thanks ## Ummm...no! Strep throat is caused by an infection and requires an actual antibiotic to resolve, there are no antibiotics in any of the Allegra formulations. Here's a link to more information on strep throat: Why are you unable to get an antibiotic? The only thing Allegra-D may do for you is to relieve some of the symptoms, though I find that to be unlikely, since it is used to treat allergies.

I dont when I missed dristan sinus medication from bei.g on the shelves, but I did. It worked like a charm. Then one my sinuses were out of control like now, and dristan was gone. What happened, why was it taken off the ahelf ## Are you referring to Dristan Nasal Decongestant? If so, it's probably very likely that the store you've been going to just stopped ordering them for one reason or another; as you can find Dristan Nasal Decongestant all over the internet, on Amazon, Walgreens, etc. If a store does not have something in stock, you can generally ask them to fill an order for you to pick up at a later date. In the meantime however, Amazon would be a good place to start if you're anticipating that you'll need it sooner than later. I hope this helps!

Can you intraveneosly inject gg 225? ## Please do not take Promethezine pills and try to prep them for a shot. A liquid solution made for IV administration is the only safe way to inject this substance, but promethezine has no recreational value by itself, (unless you feel extreme euphoria from not having any nausea or from falling asleep); and can be deadly when mixed with opiates, especially when IVing. Promethezine is a good potentiator of opiates. So if a shot is taken in any order or even mixed in the same syringe of; an opiate and promethezine, that would just be begging to have an overdose. Below is some detailed info I found regarding injecting Promethazine: Promethazine (Phenergan, Wyeth) is a commonly used injectable product that possesses antihistamine, sedative, anti-motion ...

MY LIL BROTHER USED NASONEX FOR THREE YEARS HE NOW IS BLINDE IN HIS LEFT EYE AND GOING TO LOSE THAT EYE FROM GLACOMA HE IS ONLY 25 YEARS OLD I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET A HOLD OF A LAWYER ## Well, if it is possible to file some type of law suit, it is your brother that would have to do it, since he is the victim and a functioning adult. We have had many other similar complaints, you may want to read over the information in these other threads and see if any of it helps you: As you can see from most of the comments on there, the problem is proving that the damage was solely related to the use of Nasonex. Did his doctor say it was caused by Nasonex?

What is Diphenhy used for and how does it make u feel? ## Hi Melissa, Diphenhydramine is used to relieve red, irritated, itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; and runny nose caused by hay fever, allergies, or the common cold. It is also used to relieve cough caused by minor throat or airway irritation. Additionally it can be used to prevent and treat motion sickness, and to treat insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep); and may also be used to control abnormal movements in people who have early stage parkinsonian syndrome (a disorder of the nervous system that causes difficulties with movement, muscle control, and balance) or who are experiencing movement problems as a side effect of a medication.

Pink pill ETX on one side and BE on the other side and it's round ## I'm not certain which product this is, but the ETX is used on several over the counter medications. With the BE on it, I have a suspicion that it's meant to be an off brand of Benadryl, which contains the active ingredient Diphenhydramine, but as I said, this is not a definite answer. Does anyone recognize this tablet?

Blue Gel Capsule with c-10 imprinted in white. ## Unfortunately, I can't find any listings for this in any of the databases. I see posts where a few other people have asked about it, as well, but as of this time, there has been no identification of it. Where was it found/obtained? Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## Someone with dementia was taking it and they don't know where she got it. She said she threw the box away. ## the blue gel cap with a white c-10 imprint ( the C is larger than the 10) is a C l a r it i n Li q u i Gels® 10 mg.

what is it used for . is it available in australia and where ## Hi Barbara, Did you by chance mean to say "meditussin"? I was unable to locate any drugs by the name of "meditus". The only other term by which I was able to locate some information, was that in referring to "Diabetes Meditus type 1". So, assuming that there is a drug by the name of Meditus, I would think that it is a medication for those with diabetes type 1. In regards to Meditussin, it contains Guaifenesin + Dextromethorphan; which is used as a cough medicine and decongestant. To view more information about this drug please click on the link below... I did find that Meditussin is available in Australia, however I'm not able to find a full list of all the countries that have it available. Alter...

Why no mention of the sleeping pill Toquilone? It is a prescription-only drug containing 250mg methaqualone and 25mg diphenhydramine, available in several countries and quite popular in Switzerland & Belgium. Very effective, it used to be marketed in the UK under the name Mandraxâ„¢. ## The main reason is due to the fact that we are based in the U.S., even though our site does get international users. This means that if something isn't approved and available in the U.S., we often don't have any information on it, until someone like you mentions it, or asks about it! :-) Are there any questions or comments?
