Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 64)

are there any bad drug interactions using these 2 medicines at the same time albuterol and vetprofen ## Hello, Merion! How are you? Who or what is taking them both? Vetprofen is a veterinary medication intended for use in animals, so the answer will depend on the type of animal. They are listed as containing the active ingredient Carprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain and swelling. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach upset. Albuterol is classified by the FDA as a bronchodilator that is used to increase air flow to the lungs. Its typical side effects may possibly include headache, dizziness, dry mouth and nervousness. Albuterol actually isn't approved for use in animals.

I've got 5 bottles of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Opthalmic Solution 2.5% 15ml that expired June 2014. Can these still be used on patients for the time being? ## Hi Lezlee, Even with the best intentions in mind, I would never encourage the use of expired medication on other patients, due to liability and because the idea of that just seems very unethical despite the possibility of it still retaining efficacy; which I would think it probably has to a large extent. According to an article by Harvard Medical School, many expired meds actually remain good for 15 years beyond the listed expiration date. However because we don't have a specific list stating what these meds are, the best option in my opinion is to continue adhering to the date listed on the label to ensure patient safe...

I was taking Losar H due to high bp (190/82). I started getting angiodema since it is an ACE inhibitor. Now I am taking Losar 50 twice daily for last 10 days. But still I am getting affected by Angiodema with reduced intensity almost every two days. I have come to USA (MA) on tour from India for 4 months and will stay here till July. The occurance of Angiodema is more frequent here in USA. Suggest some remidies pl. Can I take Allegra 180 regularly? Angiodema is significantly less if I take Allegra 180. ## Hello, Tapan! How are you doing? I'm not a doctor, so I can't say what medication is or isn't safe for you to take. It might be a better idea for you to switch off the Losartan and start taking something else. There are other options available that may not cause the same is...

Have you tried switching your soap and shampoo? Has this been checked out by your doctor? There are many things that could cause it, but if it only lasts a short while, I'm prone to think that it may be due to your soap or shampoo.

Underarms are really red and rashed from to much deorderant what to put on it? ## Hello, Chad! How are you feeling? That's not a typical reaction from just using deodorant, even if you use too much. That sounds more like an allergic reaction, which may require medical attention. Have you consulted your doctor? If they say it's safe for you to take, just some over the counter Benadryl might help. The FDA classifies it as an antihistamine and it's very commonly used to treat allergic reactions. Its typical side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and blurry vision. You will also likely need to stop using the brand of deodorant. I have a couple that I can't use, so I've found one that works and generally stick with it and try not to switch.

started taking allegra after four days wake up at night hard to breath its like a weight on my chest and I panic feels like I may die goes away in 10-15 minutes happened twice I stopped taking the allegra and these symtoms are gone. Any one out there have these symstoms while taking allegra. Thanks ## @John, Sorry to hear about your experience with Allegra. According to nih.gov, "chest tightness" and "trouble breathing" are both listed as an allergic reaction to Allegra (fexofenadine). They go on to note that you should contact your doctor right away if any of these symptoms manifest. Having said that, it sounds like adhering to these precautions would probably be a wise decision. Perhaps your doctor can suggest another alternative if anything, just to play it safe. Hope...

The addicts, and the one's who get them may not use them. Some people charge 1 dollar for every milligram. 90.00 bucks or more can be fetched per 80 mg oxys. The math is simple. 1 hundred oxy's 80's offers those in need badly so will cough up 8,000.00 or more for a H addict out of their potentially mortality of hell to not die of SEVERE WITHDRAW. These ultra powerful, CII'S put YOUR life in danger. ## @kim, You have a good point about how much the black market is profiting off these controlled substances. And the dangers of using them out of control can easily put your life at risk. One might ask, well what can we do about all of this? The police force can only handle so much and they only snag a few low level dealers as it is, leaving the big crooks untouched because th...

I've had 2 surgeries for lung cancer and get pneumonia often. This is the only cough medicine that actually works and only have to take it every 12 hours. It has been on the market for a long time. Why is it so expensive ? ## Hello, Mellencamp! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Unfortunately, I have no listing of the prices that I can check for you. Have you tried asking at other pharmacies in your area? It can vary from one to other, but if there's a shortage, the price might be high everywhere.

I am out of my visteril and can't get it refilled, is there anything I can take to help take the place to help with the side effects of withdrawal ? ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Have you discussed it with your doctor? They may be able to refill it and help you. There are some antihistamines available over the counter, such as Diphenhydramine and Meclizine, but they aren't as potent and effective as Vistaril, which is why it's a prescription only medication. They may also cause side effects, as listed by the FDA, that may possibly include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is stomach problems a side effect of Nasacort? I have had painful ones since starting Nasacort about one week ago, as well as some nausea.

I take about 2-3 Benadryl a day for allergies. I can tell when it wears off because my eyes itch and I constantly sneeze. I am just wondering if there is a long term side affect by taking it everyday? I no longer get tired from it but it really helps with allergies , fast ! ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, taking it daily for a long period of time risks causing vision problems, such as blurry vision. Other typical side effects of this antihistamine, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include dizziness, dry mouth and weight gain. If you have allergies that severe, it would be best to speak to your doctor about something you can take on a long-term basis that would be less risky. There are many available, some even over the counter, now. Is there anything else I can help with?

Syrup first sub next 20 30 mins bluuh. Precip wds? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? No, neither the Dextromethorphan nor Promethazine are listed as being known to cause such in conjunction with the Suboxone, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. But neither are narcotics of any type. The FDA classifies Suboxone as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The other is a cold remedy and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Were they both prescribed for you?
