Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 38)

My husband has been on albuterol breathing treatments, mucinex, adderall and several other prescription meds and just tested positive for both amphetamines and methamphetamine. Can the combination cause a false positive for methamphetamine? ## Adderall shows up as both if it's a legal perception your husband has he just has to show it. ANY Dr. Should know tha t Adderall shows up as an amphedimine.

I found 3 small white round pills with the imprint of (i think NL 503) and on the other side of the pill is blank in my son's room. i have tried to look it up on google with no answers. Please help ## Possibly a discontinued Actifed antihistamine/decongestant containing pseudoephedrine and tripolidine. I had an old bottle that also contained pills imprinted with TCL 090 with the same ingredients. I was given Actifed by a relative in about 1971 (age 9) instead of a pain pill when a firecracker blew up in my hand. I had small blood blisters and remember a slight euphoria with just one pill.

i i am 21 years old but i very slim thin i want to fat so please tell me name of the medicine.please tell me. ## Hello, Periactin (cyproheptadine) is a prescription medicine that is sometimes given to people who need to gain weight. Cyproheptadine, the main ingredient in Periactin, is actually an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching. I'm not sure if it's available where you live, so I recommend asking your local pharmacy! In order to gain weight in a healthy manner or without medication, I would suggest portioning out your meals every 2-3 hours (right around 6 meals per day). These meals should include natural nutrient dense foods with little to no empty calories, so you can get the most o...

I have mild CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) and am currently taking the following medications: Ecosprin, Vitamin B12 for deficiencies, Remylin D, Asthma AB Flo 100, as well as an Asthalin + Trimix inhaler. I've been experiencing chest pain, whole-body pain, and have been having trouble with arthritis. Could you please advise whether these medications and supplements could potentially benefit my condition? ## Have they all been prescribed for you? They may help, but it seems like your current medications are addressing separate issues such as CAD, vitamin B12 deficiency, and asthma. However, pain associated with arthritis might be not directly addressed. You might want to consult with your doctor regarding your whole-body pain and arthritis. They may adjust your regimen or add addition...

I went to my local Walgreens yesterday for Wal-Act and they just stopped selling it too. Drug dealers buy too much of this med and sell it is the reason why. Abuse. I do not abuse this medication and it is the only one that works for me. I am disappointed and am looking again for an antihistamine that works for my allergies. I thought I tried them all as well as my doctor. I hope Walgreens reconsiders this one.

I need Sudafed at night when I wake up with a sinus headache. At my age it is EXTREMELY difficult to open the packaging in the middle of the night. I need these pills in a bottle. HELP! ## Hello, Scott! How are you doing? I have only seen it available in the blister packs, but there is nothing preventing you from opening one, or more ahead of time and putting them in an empty/leftover bottle. It is not illegal to do so, just make sure to keep them out of the reach of any pets, or young children that might be around. It would also be wise to make sure to label the bottle accordingly, perhaps you could write over a pre-existing label with a Sharpie? The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and nervousness. Are you on any other medications? ## Than...

I have an itchy rash or bites on my elbows and hands. I sprayed for bed bugs and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over my apartment. What is eating me? Even sitting in my living room it sometimes feels like I'm being bit. If what I'm feeling is not bugs then what else can it be? ## Hello, Kellie! How are you doing? Has there been any change? What does the rash look like? Can you please post back and describe it more? According to NIH reports, this could also be due to fleas, an allergy, or several other causes.

My boyfriend took 4 (of the zc02) promethazine tablets. He is restless and can't sleep. He says he can't breath and that everything seems closed in. He doesn't want medical attention and I don't know what to do... ## Hi Pam, I'm so sorry to hear about the condition your boyfriend is in. How has everything been going since the timing of your post (5/6/2017)? -Much better I hope... Did you end up having to call poison control or take him into the local emergency room? I realize he didn't want medical attention so I'd just be curious to know how the situation was handled and if he's doing well now, as from what I understand, Promethazine reportedly has strong sedative effects. If you get a chance, please have a look at NIH's drug monograph on Promethazin...

I am clean but probation says i tested positive for Methamphetamine. what med or combination could have caused it? ## I have heard that sudafed (pseudo ephedrine) can cause false positives for meth. Google it and see what you come up with but I have heard this more times than I can count. I don't have any experience since I never take cold/sinus medication. Too many I am allergic to so I stay away from all of them. Good luck and let me know what you find out. It's crazy, but it seems the more "scientifically correct" these drug screens get the more false positives come back for various drugs. Its not fair to a lot of people and you would THINK your doctor would know about other drugs that can generate false positives.....but, they don't seem to know or they just don...
