I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN GET THIS MEDICATION FOR A COUGH I HAVE HAD FOE THREE YEARS. I TAKE IT ONLY ONCE A DAY BECAUSE I PAY $182.00 A MONTH. I AM WIDOWED AND 65 YEARS OLD. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THIS AMOUNT. IF I SIGN FOR IT CAN I GET IT OVER THE COUNTER AND HOW MUCH IS IT.. SINCERELY CAROL ## Hello, Carol! How are you? No, this is not available over the counter. The hyd stands for Hydrocodone, which is a narcotic, so it is only available by prescription. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? They may be able to prescribe a cheaper alternative. As to the cough, do you know what's causing it? Are you on any ...

I found this pill on the floor in my bathroom. I’ve never seen it before but I picked it up and put it in my room (I have a 6 year old that could have picked it up and put it in his mouth so I was worried) and found the words/letters HL03 on the front and nothing on the back. I had some friends stay with me for a bit so I’m hoping it’s like some sort of allergy pill. But you never know. Please get back to me as soon as u can since I still let these people come to my house sometimes

Please help, my husband has been stung by bees (approx. 15 stings) how many celestamine tables may he have. We reside in SA. ## For bee sting allergy; how often and how many tablets do you have to take after being stung? ## If someone is allergic to bees, they need to seek immediate medical attention, they cannot take allergy tablets and wait for them to work. The anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting can be deadly, and the danger increases if someone is stung multiple times. Medline Plus has a great article about such allergies. It should be noted that minor pain, and bumps, from a sting, or bite, is not an allergy, that is just a normal reaction of the human body. Has your husband been diagnosed with an allergy?

can any of mafena retard hurt a healthy 51 year old man? ## I have esomeprazol Generic Nexium Omedex Plus. This is generic for Nexium 40 mg. These capsules are blue and white and I thought Nexium was purple. ## Generics do not look like the name brand medicines as that is part of the patent of the medication, generics aren't even the same look from all manufactures, even when you get the medications from the US, athough US generics all would have the same markings I do not know much about Mexican medications. I do know that apparently Omedex Plus is packed in various colored capsules as the ones I have are in clear ones. ## Actually, U.S. generics won't even all have the same markings, each manufacturer is required to use unique markings, so the exact source of a medication can ...

I'm 17 and the doctor told me I had gallstones, and so I've literally been eating foods with no fat, non greasy, and it caused my weight to deteriorate dramatically. I wasn't pleased at my weight at all. And so I did some research and found out about periactin bin on the pill for a month and the results are amazing!!! Butt growth, thigh growth, arms and a little bit of stomach. I love it !! I'm currently still on the pill I honestly fell in love with my weight. It workssss!!! ## The only problem with it is that the weight gain is just a side effect, so you might lose it all, again, once you stop taking it, according to NIH reports. Side effects are usually transient, so they tend to go away with time, once your body gets used to a medication, or once you stop taking it. ...

It is for my dog and do not know what its called ## Did you figure it out? I'm trying to also figure it out but have had absolutely no luck ## this is Apoquel for my dogs allergies ! just found on the floor she spit out this morning ## Yes my dog takes the same thing for allergies. I wish they would prescribe antibiotics with it also. The itchies are driving her CRAZY!! ## I believe its apoquel. My dog takes it but in a much smaller dose and they have 3 times now mistakenly given me the pill you describe instead. IT'S for itching/allergies. So I think your pill is just a much larger dose of apoquel.

My son is 2 years and six months. His Dr prescribed him Bromphenir pseudoephed today and my husband accidentally gave him 3 times the indicated dosage. Is this an emergency? What should we do? Thanks! ## It is very important that you read the leaflet included with the prescription. Watch for signs of overdose or side effects. Call the pharmacy and explain what happened. If they are closed then call the pediatrician's office - they almost all have an after hours answering service for situations like this. The doctor or nurse should be able to tell you what to watch for. There's also poison control at 800-222-1222. This is from DailyMed's listing on Bromfed DM (same ingredients as what your son was prescribed along with Dextromethorphan): "Central nervous system effects fr...

Does Cheratussin AC contain any gluten ingredients, among other drugs? ## According to DailyMed, Cheratussin AC contains the following INACTIVE ingredients: - alcohol - caramel - citric acid - FD&C red #40 - flavor - glycerin - menthol racemic - purified water - saccharin sodium - sodium benzoate - sorbitol solution The manufacturer is Par (now owned by Endo), NDC 0603-1075. I don't believe any of those ingredients would contain gluten, although I don't know what is contained in their "flavor". As to other vitamins and medications, one would need to list specifics in order to look up the inactive ingredients and help determine whether there are any gluten-containing compounds. Update June 13, 2019: I called Par at (800) 828-9393, option 2 - and asked whether Cheratus...

I used ventolin inhaler and I get drug tested every month. I've been clean for almost three years. Usually I just use the albuterol inhaler and never tested positive, then I used the one with ventolin and I tested positive three times in a row and the Dr told me I was lying because she took three tests. I told her to send it off, she did and I got my negative paper yesterday, so it does cause false positives. ## what did you test positive for because im having problems with my asthma and i take the ventolin and im also in drug court fighting for my kids in desperate because i will lose my kids if i dont get to the botton of it ## Not sure if you will even see this.

If I have a sulfur allergy can a product that contains sulfur hexafluoride be used on me? ## I am scheduled for macular hole surgery in June and I am allergic to sulfur drugs. I just read that the gas used in my surgery is usually sulfur hexafluoride. Is it dangerous for me to have that gas during my surgery? ## Are you allergic to sulfa, or sulfur? There is a difference, and someone allergic to one might not be allergic to the other. For example, I am allergic to sulfa drugs, such as Bactrim, an antibiotic which contains sulfamethoxazole, but I am not allergic to sulfur overall, I can eat egg yolks, and etc. without a problem. Maggie, the best suggestion I can make for you is to tell them all of your allergies, so they know what they shouldn't use during your surgery.

My adult daughter is severely allergic to orange juice, has been to er numerous times as throat closes. Recently took a bite of apple slices from McDonalds and had severe reaction, turns out they are preserved with citric acid. She seems to be ok with a lemon, as in iced tea. Looking for anyone else with this, and/or answers as to causes or what else she should be careful of. ## Medline Plus has some great information available on food allergies that explains more about them. They also say that the only way to prevent the problem is by avoiding the trigger substance, just like with respiratory, and skin allergies. Unfortunately, there is no way to say there is any specific cause, sometimes allergies can occur due to overexposure to a specific substance, but in many cases, they remain un...
