Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 24)

I have a URI and received a free sample of Dymista. The first time I used it, I sneezed 20 times in a row spread out over a minute. I thought maybe it was a fluke so I tried it again. Same reaction. Not only do i sneeze but i feel miserable and have to blow my nose for the next 5 minutes. Could I be allergic to this medication? I've never had this reaction from Flonase, which I know is fluticasone, one of the main ingredients of Dymista. Maybe it's the azelastine that triggered the reaction? Has anyone else reported this reaction? ## Yes, the sneezing and nose blowing due to excessive mucous have been reported by others that have tried it. It just might not be the right medication to help you, since your symptoms are so severe. You may also experience headache, change in taste a...

I found some pills in my cousin's pocket. It's round, pinkish with a capital letter B on one side. ## Did u figure out what it was? I have looked all over for it. I have the same one. ## A round (light) pink pill with a capital B on one side and blank on the other is identified as Benadryl Children's Allergy Fastmelt, containing 19mgs of diphenhydramine citrate. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used for allergies, insomnia, pain, itching and has a number of other less commonly known indications as well. For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Pfizer. I hope this helps! ## A dark pink round pill with B on one side & blank on the other is a CVS brand 5mg laxative for sure. After I found some I searched, and CVS's pill finder showed me the picture n it’...

It's round, pink, and has the imprint B on one side. The other side is blank. It appears to be coated. When I search pill id wizards, children's chewable benadryl comes up, but this pill is definitely not chewable. I cant find this anywhere! Help! ## It’s a CVS brand 5mg laxative for sure. I've been searching myself for an hour cause I found some in a mucinex bottle, and I found a picture of it on CVS's pill finder.

It’s a dark pink pill with a capital B on one side and blank on the other. It’s not 'Benadryl fast melt' which is the wrong shade of pink and coated. ## It’s a CVS brand 5mg laxative. I looked it up on CVS pill finder cause I found them mixed in a bottle of mucinex and couldn’t remember what they were.

Hi, iv'e been taking this nustrate inj. for a period of 10 months. Since i began using it i dont get my periods, which they explain is not a problem. My problem is, for the past 3 months i've been having terrible back pain and want to know if maybe it's caused from the injection or not? Thanks. ## Is the pain constant, or are there just certain times it happens? For instance, do you notice it every day, all day, or could it be occurring just around the time you'd normally have your menstrual cycle? This medication may cause some side effects, but it's really hard to guess if it's what's behind your issue from just the limited information in this post. Have you talked to your doctor? ## Hello Ive been using the injection for 4 months now and latley ive been ex...

No, it's actually not advisable to take Benadryl while breast feeding. It is excreted into the milk, so the baby will get some of it and it can also lower your milk production. Learn more Benadryl details here. Who told you to take it? ## i am a breastfeeding mother and i have a colds and cough and i was taken an alaxan fr, Should Alaxan Fr safe to take for me ? ## Im taking allerzet, sinupret,and natravox it is safe for breastfeeding?

after taking Robitussin, my wife had a reaction with systemic urticaria. Her only known allergy or sensitivity is to sulfa medications. I can't find any sulfa in Robitussin. Any ideas ## Hello, Vance! How is your wife doing? There's a chance that she's allergic to an ingredient in the Robitussin. If you were to research this in the articles provided by the NIH, you would see that they warn about it being a possibility. When someone is allergic to one medication, or class of medications, it is common to find more that they also cause them to suffer allergic reactions. Such reactions tend to get worse, with repeated exposure, so she needs to stop taking it and have it checked out by her doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I know this was written a while ago but ...

After taking Cetirizine Hydrochloride I am having awful eye problems ... straight lines are bouncing all over the place and my vision is so blurry which is apparently a rare side effect. Obviously I stopped the tablets (after taking 2). Has anyone else had this? I took it last year with no problems. How long before my eye sight gets better? Does anyone know? ## Vision issues can be a side effect of most antihistamines, if you only took 2 of them, it might be best for you to try a different medication, since that is rather severe. It usually takes about a week, or so, for things to improve, but if the issue persists, you should consult your doctor about trying a different medication. The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including headache, dry mouth, and drowsiness. Are you on an...

cough syrup, available in pharmacies in USA, but not listed in PDR. Unsure of ingredients, manufacturer or spelling. I don't believe it contains narcotics. ## I think the med you're referring to is Mytussin DAC. It contains the ingredients Codeine + Guaifenesin + Pseudoephedrine (yes, it contains a narcotic) ## Troy is correct. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and nervousness. Are there any questions I can help with?
