My doctor prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream,0.1 for a burning sensation in my tongue which I got after getting a bridge done . I have to apply two times a day. I am concern that if will have any bad effect on me?. I paste it on my tongue and it felt like a thick paste and very unpleasant taste. ## Hello, Kitty! How are you doing? Are you sure that you're supposed to be using it in your mouth? This is usually used topically on the skin and not taken internally. Have you consulted your dentist? That might be a better idea to find a solution to this issue.

I had sinus surgery this year due to blocked sinus at this time I was having pressure in my frontal sinus after the surgery still having this and still am the ENT said that this is possibly due to migrane type issues no mucus there in the location please help ## Hello, Robert! How are you? Yes, that is possible. You might be having migraines, in which case you may need to see a neurologist. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? ENTs don't usually treat that.

hii sir my skin good but my face some part very dark so sir is melas cream m koi side effect to nhi honge na ye cream kya muje life time use krni hogi? ## Hi mamta, How are you? I can't understand your full post because only part of it is in english.... but regarding "Melas Cream", it reportedly contains the following list of ingredients: Curcuma longa Rizome 15% Santalum Album Oil 5% Ocimum Sanctum Leave 3% Aloe Vera Plant 5% Embellica Officinalis 10% Azadirachta Indica Oil 3% Rosa Indica Flower 5% and a cream base... However, the only side effects I've seen mentioned were potential allergies, skin irritation, or darkening of the skin (instead of lightening) if you weren't using sunblock; since it works by peeling away layers. I hope this helps answer your question!

I've been taking this drug for over 20 years. It's a lifesaver for my life yet a killer for my bones. I went in for lung surgery and the surgeon broke 5 ribs with the spreader. I can cough hard now and break a rib. I stub a toe and it breaks I have a badly broken toe now. In 6 weeks there has been no knit in it either. It's very painful. When you are standing up and for some reason start coughing, usually when I have a cold, and one of my ribs gives way it knocks me right to my knees. I should be used to it but no, its impossible. The ads on tv now have some small print about this problem. You may have noticed. I know the problem exists, I know of no one else who goes through what I do. However, to be able to function day to day and eat more foods than not, I continue to tak...

many times i have experienced skipped /irreg. pulse it started up again on 7/14 through now my pulse does not go over 70 and my b/p never over 120/72.i am suffering from seasonal allergies i took a loratadine 10 mg should i be ok ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Did you suffer any adverse effects? What other medications do you take? Generally, most antihistamines should be avoided by someone with cardiac issues, because they can elevate heart rate and blood pressure. Most doctors recommend that patients just take Benadryl, but you'd need to check with your doctor about what's safe for you to take.

What this medication for? Allergy ## Hello, Dennis! How are you? Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that has quite a few medical uses, including treating allergies. It can also be used to help prevent nausea, for sedation and to induce sleep. Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I take these two drugs at the same time? ## Hello, Lizz! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. Side effects to the Mucinex may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Side effects to Aleve may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband has been taking Cheratussin AC 10-100MG/5ML. He has not slept since he started taking it. (over 46 hours). He has bronchitis and is coughing a lot. Should he not take this. He is 73 and no sleep concerns me. ## I'm not sure what might be causing his insomnia, it could be due to the coughing itself, that can make it very hard to sleep. The medication shouldn't cause it, since one of the ingredients is Codeine, which usually causes drowsiness. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is he taking anything else? Has he gotten any sleep, yet?

Dry cough with no secretion at all. Stops when eating or sleeping or even lying on my bed. ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Given the complications of ALS and not knowing what other medications that patient may be taking, it would be best to refer to their doctor for the proper treatment. It might even be the side effect of something else. Do they take any blood pressure or cardiac medications?

This medication may cause side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

My baby is 1 yr 4 months old. She is always having a cough.. Last april this year she was diagnose having a pneumonia.. But it was cured already..but now she is having again a cough for almost 1 months...what should i do now...what medicine should i gave her?

I am using asthalin 4 mg for the past 10 years when there is need for that (i.e. whenever i am suffering from wheezing problem). For the past 2 weeks i am taking the asthalin. I am facing continuous knee/joint pain in my legs. Is it due to overdosage or could be any other reason. Pls. clarify. ## Have you consulted your doctor? They'd be best able to advise you on what's causing the problem. Asthalin contains the active ingredient Salbutamol, it is most commonly used to treat asthma. It can cause some muscle pain and spasms as a side effect, however, there is no way anyone can say that it is definitely causing the problem, from just a short post in the internet. That requires a doctor's exam and consultation. ## I have asthma as well. How do I cure it? I'm also using ast...

is this med just like actifed cold and allergy ## Hi Tina, I posted the active ingredients in each one of these medications so you could see the differences: Actifed Cold And Sinus contains: Acetaminophen + Pseudoephedrine + Triprolidine Actifed Sinus Daytime contains: Acetaminophen + Pseudoephedrine Actifed Cold and Allergy contains: Chlorpheniramine + Phenylephrine As you can see, all three of these contain different ingredients depending on whether or not your primary focus is treating allergy symptoms and a cold or maybe just sinus related issues. But I'm sure each one of these brands can be used interchangeably to some degree if you are experiencing a bit of everything. In that regard, they are similar because they have similar ingredients used for a similar purpose; but no the...

I'd like to know the interaction of citrizen and a depression pills called ilibioum ## Hi Homesh, I'm sorry but did you mean to say Cetirizine? I haven't found any medication by the name of citrizen, but Cetirizine is an antihistamine used for allergies too, so I'm just double checking here. It looks like ilibioum might also a misspelled version of Librium; would that be correct? As far as safety is concerned between Cetirizine and Librium, drug interactions do list symptoms of drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and even impaired cognitive function. While it doesn't appear to be a life threatening interaction of any kind, it would probably be wise to see how you react to them first before attempting to operate any machinery or drive. I hope this helps!

I remember taking these pills in the 1960's and into the 1970's because of allergies. I hated taking them, and I now wonder if the ringing in my ears that I have dealt with since childhood may have been caused by them. Does anyone know what this pill contained?

GOOD NEWS, fellow sufferers! I just spoke to the 77 Canada Pharmacy and they are once again able to ship Drixoral to the US!! Up to 60 tablets, total cost $121 (inc. shipping). They have to have your photo ID and an account set up, but it's easily done. I know there's thousands of us who would literally die without Drixoral, so this is important news. Spread the word! And by the way, I think we ought to start spreading demands for the DEA to stop blocking sale of Drixoral in America just because some stupid drug addicts figured out a way to make speed out of it. I would gladly buy it from a pharmacist and sign my name, etc., wouldn't you all? ## Hi Carolyn, Thanks for sharing this info on Drixoral. While I may not have a personal need for this medication, I'm positive yo...

Drixoral can be obtained from Canada. I've also found a generic version for less money, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it ... my shipment of the generic stuff was shipped DIRECT from TURKEY ... the only English on the package was the the sticker with the pharmacist's info and my info. ## I've ordered Drixoral through the internet and been happy. They have the generic version available but they note that it is NOT made by the same manufacturer as the Real Drixoral. ## I've bought the same Disophrol pills from Northwest and they are made by the same manufacturer - Schering-Plough. ## I have read your message about buying a drug from Turkey, it has been two years but I would be very happy if you could give me the name of the pharmacy that has sent you the drug.Thank...
