Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 44)

Can I take Zifi 200 for a throat infection and coarse voice with a cough? ## This medication is an antibiotic, so it is only effective at treating bacterial infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Thus, it will not do anything for the hoarse voice and coughing. Is there anything else I can help with?

Oblong pill white in color nothing on the other side 4112 ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? I've been unable to find a listing for this, so far and the nature of the imprint leads me to suspect that it may be an over the counter product. Where was it found? Some over the counter products are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I have the same thing. I'm trying to figure out I it's my hay-fever meds from Walgreens or some other drugstore. (The pills we have do not say Lilly- they are not the psychiatric med. Photos of those pills are widely available so I can confirm it's not those. These are white, oval, and with "4112" ...

My allergies don't act up every day. I would like to know if I can take Allegra year round or do you only take it when your allergies flare up? ## It can be taken either way, unless your doctor has said otherwise. I have periods of time I take it daily, when I'm having a bad allergy flare due to pollen and such, then periods of time I don't, such as in the winter, when I don't need it every day. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I haven't smoked since 5/6 and today is 7/23 and I failed for marijuana and a faint line for methamphetamine (which I have never smoked) on a 5 panel dip test. I take phenergan because I suffer from morning sickness from my pregnancy and i take a half of one every night before bed.

Can you take Zyrtec-D with Cheratussin AC syrup? I'm having coughing, allergies and congestion. ## They both treat the same conditions, so it is usually best to stick with one, or the other, rather than doubling up, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. Taking both could result in some unforeseen issues, since the Zrytec D can act as a stimulant, due to the Pseudoephedrine in it, and the Cheratussin can act as a depressant due to the Codeine in it, according to the NIH. The Cheratussin also carries the risk of being habit forming. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took ceterzine ( Zyrtec d) and it wasn't really helping so I took a little teaspoon of charatussin ac syrup will I be ok?

white round 8.5mm ## Sudomyl contains the active ingredient Pseudoephedrine, commonly used as a decongestant. Common side effects may include: nausea, insomnia, nervousness and anxiety. You can read more about this medication here: Did you have any other questions? ## Does anyone know about Sudomyl's current availability?

The only thing he had take was the generic form of medicine, that walmart filled the perscription. was at er all test NEGATIVE ,no stress nothing is this possible? he sees a Neruologist in 2 days but im having issues sleeping ## I am sooo sorry to hear about your son's seizure- it is the very WORST feeling in the world seeing or knowing your child has had a seizure. I am the mother of 3 boys & a daughter. All 3 of my boys have had a seizure before! My youngest was 9 months old, & it was a febrile seizure, which is quite common in younger children. My older 2 were not sick or feverish at the time, so it was scary and baffling! For one son I was told pretty much that it was a mystery and that sometimes things ...

Can you take robitussin and bromfed together? My 9 yr old has a cough that won't stop.....even after taking bromfed. ## How is your soon doing? Has there been any change? It would be best not to add more medications, without his doctor's approval, especially since he is so young. Additionally, Bromfed is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergies, according to the FDA, so it will not do anything to help alleviate a cough.

Is it okay to just throw away an outdated bottle of Iophen C-NR? How should I dispose of this and other similar medications? ## The current FDA disposal instructions tell you to mix outdate medications in with some undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds, dirty kitty litter, dish soap or the like. Place into a sealed container, such as a coffee can with lid and dispose of it with your regular household trash. Alternatively, you can take expired medication to any local pharmacy and they will destroy them for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The FDA are *****s, and so are the Doctors who created the "opioid crisis" in the first place. Lets advise people to mix in dangerous chemicals or other substances to make the drug "less appealing". To whom? T...

White, round pill. 54 879 imprint on one side and a line on other side. I have had prescription pain meds for years, I know what bitter is, but this one had a taste so bad I spit it out immediately and it burned slightly. The taste stayed for about fifteen minutes. It also made my other pills smell really bad like a poison bad smell. . It was like nothing I ever smelled or tasted before. I had it in my mouth about 2 seconds, no water and out it came and the imprint was gone it seemed very fragile and abnormally thick. So is it Fake? Poison? Or is that how they taste I have never had one before. ## Hello, Ivy! How are you? I am very sorry about the symptoms you experienced. No pill should be held in your mouth for any length of time, they are intended to be swallowed immediately with a f...

What are finnigan pills taken for? ## I think what you may be referring to is a misunderstood name for the medication Phenergan, which contains the active ingredient Promethazine. It is an antihistamine that's most commonly used to help prevent nausea and vomiting, but since it's available over the counter in some countries, there are people that take it for its sedative like effects and to help them gain weight. Learn more Phenergan details here. Is that what you wanted to learn about? ## The info helped much.

I recently started having acute allergic reactions to the generic fiorcet V 2355 round pill. I have taken this medication for years, and at first had to have the blue name brand/generic, but then found that I could take some of the white generics. Am wondering if the V 2355 inactive ingredients changed lately as I believe this is the one I had previously been taking with no reactions. The reactions I'm having are severe and affect my ability to breathe. How can I find out if the inactive ingredients were changed by this manufacturer? ## It is always possible to develop an allergy to something, because our bodies change with time. There is always the risk of suddenly becoming allergic to something that you have taken safely, or used for years, according to NIH reports. However, I did...

I'm getting ready to fly and take Xanax prior to my flight. I don't want to have a coughing fit on the plane. Will taking Cheratussin AC along with the Xanax be a problem? ## Hi Karen, If you have a moment, I'd encourage you to check out the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool) for good measure, where you can plug in the name of each drug you are taking and it will search its database for possible contraindications. However based on my own investigation, there does appear to be a high potential for interaction between Cheratussin AC and Alprazolam, whereas it's generally not recommended that you take the two together due to a risk of increased respiratory depression. That said, it would probably be best to contact your prescribing docto...
