Can i take nasataap while breastfeeding? My baby is almost 4 month old now and im so scared to take the tablet. Please advise. Thanks ## Phenylpropanolamine, one of the active ingredients in Nasatapp has in my investigation been under scrutiny for causing birth defects when taken during pregnancy. On the other hand, I'm also finding that there is no data on the excretion of Phenylpropanolamine into human milk during breastfeeding. Having said this, I would probably talk with your doctor for another opinion and take caution to only use it if the benefits outweigh possible risks. As for Brompheniramine, the second active ingredient in Nasatapp... when taken in small and infrequent doses, reports suggest that there is nothing to worry about with regards to adverse effects from breastfe...

Hello! From the end of October till the beginning of March I suffer from sneezing, itchy eyes and irritating nose. I have these sneezing episodes so many times in a day that I can not concentrate on anything because of extreme runny nose and it is often followed up with shivering in legs and fever. This year I have started taking Kestine 10 mg one tablet before going to bed and it has controlled my allergic symptoms. I want to know that is it safe to take Kestine 10 mg regularly for about 6 months? Actually during this period, since I have started taking Kestine 10 mg, I skipped a dose and the very next day my allergic symptoms reappeared. ## I am 36 years old and I posted about Kestine 10 mg that I have been taking it since three months and it has controlled my severe allergic symptoms...

I found this in my teens bedroom. What is it exactly? ## This is an over the counter medication containing 25mgs of Diphenhydramine, a generic or store brand of Benadryl. ## it is a little blue pill that has L431 on one side ## What will happen it you take the blue pill with L431 printed on it? Like what are the side affects? ## It's an antihistamine, it's for allergies. Although some you people do take them in large amounts for a euphoric feeling, although they usually get dizzy and fall asleep. ## It's an over the counter sleep aid. That doesn't really work.

Circa 1985 I took one Chlortimeton tablet as I went to bed. Next morning I lost the center vision in my right eye. It has never recovered. Apparently the few rods/cones? hemmoraged? I have a history all my life of having several nasty colds per year and I was trying this new-to-me drug. Every eye doctor or MD I've told this story to, do not care to talk about it. The rest of the eye functions to give me adequate peripheral vision. I find it curious...liftetime of aspirins or nothing and just once, one pill and the eye is damaged while I sleep. ??????

I've been on rampril for some years without any difficult side effects. However, since moving house, my new chemist seems some of the time to use the brand of ramapril that I am used to,, and some of the time to use a generic brand of ramapril which gives me serious side effects - dry mouth, dry eyes, and cough. I'm sure he's going to say that they all contain the same active ingredient but I only suffer from the side effects with the generic brand. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Hi, I've been taking clarinase and I want to know if I can take lorinase for throat pain? ## They both contain Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine, so neither one is going to help with throat pain. They are most commonly used to treat allergy and/or cold symptoms. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and nervousness. Is it actual pain, or just a sore throat?

I have taken TUSSIONEX several times when I've had bronchitis. It really breaks up the congestion and helps with the cough. I got a bottle today and the consistency is like Water. My resolved has always been a thick consistency and gritty. I think it was watered down. ## Hi Debe, Given my past experience with cough syrup over the last 10-15 years, I've noticed similar discrepancies in other syrups (both OTC and Rx). In my two recent encounters, the codeine cough syrup my wife was prescribed also appeared watered down vs the last time I saw a bottle. Her OTC robitussin has seemingly been watered down as well. One thing I will state is that it has been several years since I had last seen or used any form of cough syrup prior to this year....but the thing is, it used to be soooo th...

I have a 6 month old tattoo and was prescribed this for my psoriasis. Will this affect the tattoos longevity? ## Hi Dez, I noticed there was another discussion thread here asking a similar question and just wanted to share the link with you: Ref - Can I use triamcinolone cream on my new tattoo I've also read reports from others with tattoos who have used steroid creams and didn't experience any fading. However my personal view is that a fading tattoo would probably come secondary to my health; especially since it can be retouched. Have you considered researching any natural alternatives for psoriasis treatment? My brother used to have psoriasis and had success with light therapy. Apple cider vinegar has also been touted as a treatment option. Hope this helps!
