Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 15)

I found 2 pop out round white pills in an old purse. The imprint is IP 46 on one side and the other side is plain. Is it a controlled substance? ## Hi Mary, A round white pill with IP over 46 on one side and blank on the other, reportedly contains 10mgs of Cetirizine hydrochloride; an antihistamine used for allergies. A prescription is sometimes needed, but to my knowledge, Cetirizine is not a controlled substance. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Rugby Laboratories and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 00536-4088. I hope this helps! ## Is this pill with IP on top and 46 on bottom something for migraines? I have a terrible migraine and thought it was generic for imitrex. Is that correct?

Are Propan vitamins with iron effective? ## Really, the effectiveness depends on what you are using it for. If you are using it as a vitamin supplement, then yes.

My brother has a galbladder stone and keeps getting attacks. We live in Costa Rica and he takes 4 of the Sertal Compuesto Forte. I am trying to get him to change his diet to avoid the attacks, but he won't. I would like to know the side effects to this drug and how many he should be taking and how ofter. The side effects is very important to know!! Thank you very much! Kathy ## Has he consulted a doctor? This product contains the active ingredients Lysine and Propinox and the normal dosing is one tablet, taken 3 to 4 times daily, for pain and spasms. SInce Propinox isn't used in the U.S. I am afraid I really don't have much information on its use, or possible side effects and risks. Lysine, however, is just an amino acid. ## I use Sertal Compuesto for menstrual cramps. It ha...

Can bioflu which contains phenylephrine hcl, chlorphenamine maleate and paracetamol be taken together with robitussin dm which contains dextromethorphan hbr and guaifenesin? Please reply. Thank you so much for your help. ## HI, though they have different ingredients, you would essentially still be doubling up on the same types of medications, so no you most likely shouldn't take them both, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. Getting too much could cause some problems, such as worsening of the side effects. Additionally, since the Phenylephrine can act like a stimulant, adding it with the Dextromethorphan and the Guaifenesin that cause the opposite effect could be very detrimental. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Can i take robitussin softgel and bioflu at the sa...

My 8 year old son's throat is hurting. Is Relent effective for throat infections or a dry cough? ## What has your child's doctor advised? Relent Syrup contains Cetirizine and Ambroxol, it will not treat a throat infection and may be limited in what it will do for a cough. It's generally most effective at treating allergies. ## Hi, My daughter is having running nose and dry cough for the past one week. We took her to a doctor who suggested "Relent" syrup and "Zyprox" as she had throat infection. However, this is not much of a relief for her.

This seems to be a cough & cold medicine to help alleviate the symptoms. Does anyone have a different list of ingredients for Dynatussin, or does it seem to be accurate? One thing to note is that antibiotics cannot treat a cold or flu since those are viruses, whereas antibiotics kill bacteria.

I need help please. Severe pneumonia and cough. Can you take Suboxone with (Promethazine + Codeine)? Please I need relief fast, I'm so miserable. Thank you so much. ## Hi Shelly girl, the short answer is that No, you cannot take those together. Codeine, being an opiate, would pose a drug interaction with both the Buprenorphine AND Naloxone contained in Suboxone. Codeine w/ Buprenorphine could amplify central nervous system depression, leading to respiratory distress or even coma in extreme cases. Codeine w/ Naloxone can counteract each other causing withdrawal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, aches, fever, etc). Promethazine also interacts with Buprenorphine, and can increase certain side effects such as dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, etc. [1] That being said, I'd avoid taking the...
