Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 11)

Hi. After carefully going through websites i found a very interesting story about Drixoral. It states a batch of drixoral was recalled. Can some comment on it and if yes it was recalled, is drixoral still good to consume from Canada as stated by sites in Canada? A reply will be greatly appreciated. ## From what I've heard and read on various sites, it was not recalled, but the company stopped making it. Because of the recent FDA crackdown on medications with certain ingredients, such as Peudoephedrine being sold on the regular store shelves, it had to be placed behind the pharmacy counter in the U.S. It did not require a prescription, however, with so many products available on the public shelves, most people just purchased something else. So, the manufacturer stopped making it due ...

is fluimucil 600 can be used by those who have sperm problem? Iam working at pharmacy and I encountered 1 patient with this kind of problem and fluimucil was prescribed to him? ## Fluimicil is listed as containing Acetylcysteine, so no, it won't help with a low sperm count or sperm motility issues. Learn more Fluimicil details here. It acts as a mucolytic agent and can be used to treat Paracetamol poisoning. Is there anything else I can help with? ## N-Acetylcysteine should increase glutathione which indirectly will improve sperm qualitu

I find that when I use ibuprofen, tylenol, aspirin or triaminic -d that I get a patch of discoloration of my cheeks. It varies, most of the time seems to have a purplish undertone. Please advise if there is anyone out there with the same experience /advise. ## A rash is a known side effect of Ibuprofen, and Aspirin, as it is with many others, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased risk of bleeding. Another possibility is that you may have rosacea, which is known to be aggravated by some medications, including those that can dilate blood vessels, and/or cause blood thinning. Have you consulted a doctor? It would be best to have this checked out, to be sure what's causing it, and what your treatment options might be.

Please help me ID a small, football shaped, white tablet with L612 imprinted on one side. Thanks. ## The tablet which you have described is Loratadine 10 mg (NDC 45802-650 among others). Inactive Ingredients: - Lactose Monohydrate - Magnesium Stearate - Povidone - Corn Starch Loratadine is an antihistamine drug, used to treat allergies such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis), urticaria (hives), and other skin allergies. ## Generic ativan white football with L612 on it they are the best ones as far as a generic benzo I've had ## The bottle I was given had Alprazolam in it.

I am allergic to sulphur. The name sulpiride suggest a sulphur content. Does the sulpiride in the espiride contain any sulphur? ## am allergic to sulphur. The name sulpiride suggest a sulphur content. Does the sulpiride in the espiride contain any sulphur? ## I think you are confusing a sulfa based medication, with Sulfur/Sulphur, but they are not the same. Being allergic to one, does not automatically mean you will be allergic to the other. Which one are you actually allergic to, and what allergy symptoms do you experience? Allergic reactions typically include symptoms such as headache, hives, itching, swelling, and trouble breathing. Are the prescribing doctor, and your pharmacy aware of your allergies?

will zyrtec alter my pro-time? I take Coumadin because I have a St. Judes mechanical aortic valve. ## Over the course of several months my Pro-time INR readings have been satisfactory---requirng no change in Coumadin dosage. "Suddenly" the readings became erratic-- to the extent that instead of monthly pro- times--I've had to have the INR checked weekly. The only "new" drug I've been taking is Zyrtec. I asked my PCP if Zyrtec can influence the INR. She replied-- "It's possible." So I cut out the Zyrtec--even though it's been very helpful. After 2-3 weekly checks --sans Zyrtec----things are okay. I wonder if any of your respondents have had similar experience. Thank you ## Yes, it is possible for Zyrtec to cause that as a side effect, along with di...

I have been having several medicines listed above. Gasy, dizziness, mood swings, Sleepiness, Agitation, passing gas a lot, headaches, blurred vision, Confusion,Depression, and panic attacks. This is the list of medicines I'm worried about mixing. Centirizine Trintellix Singulair Crestor Nexium ## Are you saying these are the symptoms being treated, or that these are the side effects you're experiencing? Side effects are generally more pronounced when you are taking more than one medication, and Cetirizine, Trinitellix, Singulair, Crestor, and Nexium can cause the issues you've reported. However, typically side effects will go away, after about 4 to 6 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. Has there been any change?

I have been using Dextromethorphan 60mg Sr/ER for pain management. I was prescribed this medication, which is made in a compounding pharmacy by a doctor in California who is actively involved with the NIH(National Institute of Health. This pain management doctor uses off label medications, but is light years ahead of the traditional pain management doctor, who goes through their steps of the various epidural, nerve blocks, a multitude of other treatment that all the other pain management physicians practice, all the way up to a spinal cord stimulator or pump. I tried all of those treatments and was told no treatment remains, other than heavy narcotics, which do not work in the slightest for me. I heard about this doctor through my brother as I was in the hospital on a dialaudid drip for...

I found out that I was allergic to this when my dentist put desensitizer on my teeth...my lips swelled like a duck! I am also a scrub nurse and been having trouble with the CHG scrub and the cavacide.... I found a relation to the cavacide to benzalkonium...however I am interested in finding out if this drug is related to any similar families that would also make me swell.

Any chance you could help me with a relation between this drug and any others? ## You would actually be better served to see an allergist/immunologist, so you can be tested for specific allergens, and discover what to avoid. For example, there is a chance you might be allergic to an additiv...

Dida seems to be 'the ' medicine for bloating, allergies etc are there any side effects of taking this medicine? ## Dida is actually an herbal/naturopathic product that is available over the counter, so while they claim it helps with many things, this is actually not proven. This also means that the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for actual medications. The ingredients list includes the following: Oregano, Pot Marigold, Olive Leaves, Thyme, Cardamom, Clove, Garlic, Fennel oil and Peppermint oil. So, it really sounds like a cooking recipe. Has anyone actually used this product? ## I've just started taking it this week - they recommend 3 pills a day with a glass of water for the first month. My first day I took this too literally and had the pill...

Please explain why pharmacies in Baguio City, Philippines sold it to me last week? ## is symdex d really safe ## Hello, Linda! How are you?
