I've been on Dexona and Practin 4mg for 5 years with continuous side effects. I used to be lean. One of my friends suggested it, who has used it for 2 months and stopped and he has some skin problems. If i stop taking it for one day i start facing some problems. What would be the side effects for me if i stop using this at this point? Also, what are the tests i need to take? Currently I experience laziness, a headache sometimes, hypertension, and i feel very tense when it comes to small issues. ## Have you discussed it with a doctor? PRactin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, it is an antihistamine and, while it does cause weight gain in some people due to appetite changes, using it in such a manner, without your doctors approval is not safe. Any weight gain achieved is ...

Walgreens doesn't have Comtrex anymore. Has it been discontinued? If not, where can I get it? ## Yes, Comtrex is still available, however, since it contains Pseudoephedrine, along with Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine as the active ingredients, it is now kept behind the pharmacy counter. You'll have to go to the pharmacy and ask for it, which means presenting an ID and signing for the purchase. [1] Pseudoephedrine Drug Information: MedlinePlus [2] Acetaminophen Drug Information: MedlinePlus [3] Chlorpheniramine Drug Information: MedlinePlus I hope this helps! ## You cannot find this behind pharmacy counters any more - I bought some while in Erie, PA for the hollidays at Giant Eagle. Amazon also carries the drug but at a very expensive price. ## Can you still find Comtrex col...

I have been on Losartan 50mg by Camber for years. I had my prescription filled and got the Solco brand at Walgreens. For 3 weeks, I could barely function, terrible cough, backache, anxiety and nervousness. This stuff was poison. Stopped it for 4 days....symptoms started to disappear. Got the Camber brand through mail order again and things are going back to normal. Anyone else have anything similar happen? ## The symptoms you've described can be normal side effects of Losartan, according to FA reports. Other side effects may also include hypotension, increased urination, heartburn, and leg pain. Ref: Losartan Information There is a chance that the generic manufactured by Solco is a bit stronger than the one you usually take, which may explain why you were suddenly miserable. The Hat...

Found my old bottle but expired July 2012.. is it OK to take it? ## Liquids have a much shorter shelf life, because they tend to degrade faster than other forms of medications and they can also turn rancid, which could make you ill. Thus, it would be best to just dispose of it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## it is fine sorry i didn't see this before. I have saved mined up to 4 yrs. & it worked.... I work for a chemist & he told me aspirin integrity stays intact 30 yrs. However this is NOT the formula for all drugs, but from personal exp. my cough med, stayed intact fine. Ever notice on all drugs now-a-days says expires in one year. what a miracle that everything goes bad in 12 months at the same time. ## We have the same thing, 2 year old Ceratussin AC and hubby ...

Hi, I'm 24yrs old and my weight is 40kgs. I am not yet on ARVs but I'm HIV positive. I previously weighed 50kgs and I would like to get back to my weight. Is Cipla actin safe for me? ## I'm glad u asked that question because I've also been asking it at the clinic I take my arvs from but was advised to tell the pharmacist that I'm HIV + before buying anything over the counter....I hope someone out there will have the answers we are looking for. I desperately need to gain my appetite back & my weight. ## Before combining any two or more substances, I think it's always best to contact your prescribing doctor first just to be on the safe side. However according to the US National Institute of Health, there are no contraindications listed between Cyproheptadine (t...

The pill I found is 2 in a pack and they are pretty big pills. They are gel, red, oval looking and say 512 on one side... You can tell it's some type of allergy or sinus medication that you can buy over the counter. ## Hi Angie, I located an oval orange colored gel (liquid-filled) pill marked with "512", that reportedly contains a combination of Acetaminophen (325mg) + Dextromethorphan (10mg) + Phenylephrine hydrochloride (5 mg), used for treating upper respiratory conditions such as colds, coughing and/or allergy symptoms. For verification, the pill itself is said to be manufactured by McKesson Drug Company and carries a National Drug Code of 70677-0011.

After many years of success treating my problems with allergies, I learned that Rondec TR and its generic equivalent Coldec TR were no longer being manufactured. I have tried other meds, but without success. It seems like the key ingredient of Carbinoxamine is lacking in the newer drugs and that is the ingredient of benefit for me. I would welcome any ideas and also would like to better understand why Rondec/Coldec is no longer produced. ## I cannot answer as to why it is no longer made, it could have been found to be dangerous, or the company just wasn't selling it the way they used to, so they were losing money and decided to stop marketing it. I haven't heard of a recall involving it, so my best guess would be that latter reason. There are a couple brand names it was sold und...

Found this white round pill with LFT on one side and a score on the other. Need to know what it is. ## Have you worked out what the pill with LFT OM IT IS YET? ## Is your pill approximately 6 millimeters in size? From what I could find, that's the alleged diameter or size of the white round pill with LFT on one side and a score on the other. I'm still searching to more specific details but am not seeing very much information on it. If I had to guess I would assume that this particular tablet is either no longer manufactured or possibly of foreign origin. How or where did you guys come across these pills? ## It may be a sublingual anti-anxiety tablet that you put under your tongue to dissolve. ## It's Lorafix hayfever tablets. An antihistamine.
