Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 62)

I take xanax, ambilify, zrytec, albuterol inhaler, morphine, and fluticasone propionate. I go to a pain management Dr and tested positive for methamphetamine. I was immediately dropped. I've had two neck surgeries and my pain gets worse. What should I do? Thank you. Sincerely, Cajun lady.

Can I take two Alka-Seltzer Plus Day and Night non-drowsy cold and plus formula liquid gels after they have expired? ## Hello, Ms Shay! How are you? If they are expired, you should dispose of them. Liquid medications tend to degrade and turn much faster than other forms, so not only do they lose effectiveness, but they could sour and make you ill, if you take them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation.

What happens if you take 15 of them? ## Hello, Ryon! How are you? The marking is actually L434, this tablet is manufactured by Perrigo and they list it as containing 60mgs of Pseudoephedrine and 2.5mgs of Tripolodine. It is a cold remedy. Taking that many of them would result in overdose, the symptoms as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, nervousness, involuntary tics, trouble breathing, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and there is a risk of it being fatal. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother is 86 years old and has Graves' disease. We heard that on rare occasions if you cough hard your eye can pop out. Is this true? Sincerely, Diana Christiana ## Hello, Diana! How is your mom? No, it is not true. However, her disease should be being treated by her doctor, which may help lessen the bulging. The bulge can also make it harder to keep her eyes moist, so she may need to use lubricating eye drops, or the dryness may irritate them, causing pain and itching, as listed by the NIH. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking WalAct for sinus and allergy problems for years-seems to be the only thing that works for me. Sometimes I need 4 a day, and sometimes I go for a couple of months without needing it. This last month it's been one at night, one in the am - going through a package of 48 which I bought sometime in April. Tried to buy it May 31st, and was denied access. I am definitely not boiling it down - I just want my headache to go away. Does anyone have any info on who to contact to fix this most obvious government mistake? ## Hello, Keyssandi! How are you? No, I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do. There's a limit on how much you can purchase and when you can purchase more is based on your prior purchase and how long it should last. The FDA lists the typical side...

This tablet is manufactured by Northstar RX, the full marking is S 521 and they list it as containing 10mgs of Cetirizine. I have a bottle of these, so the shape you described gave it away.

I used triaminolone 0.1% on my face,it did clear up my face. But, now my face is starting to break out. What can I use to clear up my face? ## Hello, Ree! How are you? Triamcinolone is classified by the FDA as a corticosteroid, which means it can cause acne as a side effect. Thus, it's likely just going to take time for your body to process it, so the breakout stops and clears up. Other side effects may possibly include skin redness, dryness and irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I have been taking the Allegra D 12 for a few weeks now & it really works excellently for me! I know this sounds gross but my doctor has me check my stool because of a prior but cured events! Lol... So...I'm curious as to why my body does not digest the brown portion of the pill!? Any ideas anyone? ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? Because that's the time released portion. The outer shell is part of what helps it to release slowly, over time, as it absorbs fluid in your stomach. Then, the empty shell is expelled as waste. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

found some little round white pills on one side it has a score and at the bottom is says 105 on the other side it says ICI or 1C1 with a mark like ~ but doubled underneath. No idea what it is. Can someone help please? They were in an unmarked pill bottle in my daughters sock drawer. How original. I was a teenager once too. ## Hi, Jenna! How are you? I haven't been able to find a listing for this, so far. Can you please double check the imprint? I'm thinking the letters may be LCI, which is a logo used on some medications, but they usually use 4 numbers on them and not just 3. Did you try asking your daughter about them? ## I haven't been able to find anything either. Yes, I asked her about them but she claims they are for her allergies. I took the bottle & still have the...

white oval pill ## Is the marking possibly V 2722? If so, then this Durituss GP tablet, containing Guaifenesin, a decongestant and expectorant, used to treat cold symptoms. These tablets are no longer manufactured. Please double check the imprint and let me know! ## Since this is discontinued what would be similar. Is Musinex a good choice?

Can this be used to clear an infection post circumcision on a 10 year old boy? He doesn't have any drug allergies that I know of. ## At such a young age, I strongly urge you to take him to a doctor and let them prescribe an appropriate medication, if an infection is present. It's far too risk to try to diagnose the issue yourself and treat it with something that wasn't prescribed for him. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Why is this cream not recommended for application in the groin area? ## Because it hasn't been formulated to be safely used in such areas. It's just like being told not to take it internally, since it may contain ingredients that aren't safe if swallowed. Various areas of the body are more sensitive and require products that are made to be used there. Learn more Triamcinolone details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My daughter, 10 months old, was prescribed this cream for her eczema. Her daycare put the cream all over her private parts and now she is bright red with open sores. Waiting to take her to the doctor. Is this a chemical reaction to the cream?

How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, if the Benadryl didn't help, you might be having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Have you contacted your doctor, again? You may need to try a different one. The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. The last time that happened to me, my doctor had me use a Hydrocortisone cream to alleviate it, so you may want to ask your doctor about using on.

I have a bottle of Diabetic Tussin, is this safe to take after a year after it's expiration date? ## Hello, Pat! How are you? No, it has most likely gone bad by now.

My 9lb dog is on this med for chronic cough. She has been having very soft stools that has a very strong odor. Is this common? Also is there anything to add to food that will take care of this problem? Thank you. ## Hello, Claudette! How are you? The site effects in dogs will usually be very similar to those in humans, so yes, that is a possible side effect. Virtually any medication can affect stool odor and consistency. As listed by the FDA, other side effects may include nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you consulted your vet? They would be the best person to advise you on whether or not there's anything that may help.
