Is practin a steroid? I found a vile & syringes in my ex husbands stuff. He is not under weight so I'm wondering why he would be taking it. ## Hello, Jenn! How are you? No, Practin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine, however, I can't speak to what your ex-husband may have thought it did and/or what he might have been using it for…. It would likely be best to just dispose of it. Is there anything else I can help with?

HI, I have severe throat pain, and a kind of uneasiness in chest, please suggest me if I can take Eryocin 250mg for the same. ## Hi Doc, I am 32 male Suffering from throat pain, cough, breathlessness and a kind of uneasiness in my left side chest unable to understand if it is a pain or heavyness. please suggest me if I can take Eryocin 250mg along with any other tablets. Thank you, ## This is an antibiotic, so it will only treat bacterial infections and nothing else. Thus, it is not appropriate if you just have a cold or flu. Have you consulted your doctor? Taking an antibiotic, when you don't have a bacterial infection creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistance, which could result in some very dangerous illnesses in the future.

Is this pill good for an allergic reaction that cause you to have hives that itch real bad ## Hello, Lesa! How are you? This tablet contains 25mgs of Diphenhydramine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, it's even the first choice used if you have a bad one and go to the ER. Learn more Diphenhydramine details here. However, it can cause some pretty serious drowsiness, so it shouldn't be taken at a time when you need to be alert, such as when you need to drive or operate machinery. You should also only take it, if your doctor says that it is safe for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

in the early 70's a dr. gave me a green pill for coughing. he has died & no seems to know what is. i took it for few month & i didn't have a cough for a couple yrs. anyone have any ideas ## I'm sorry, but that's very little information to go on and since it was from so long ago, it's probably going to be difficult to figure this one out. However, I do think it was most likely that your not experiencing a cough for several years afterwards was likely just a coincidence of fortunate health, rather than from whatever the medication was, since there is nothing that would remain effective that long. Learn more prescription drug details here. Do you remember any other details about it, at all? ## i believe it is Copastin (Cloperastine). works wonder for my mom'...

I took a drug test for a new job and was in shock to hear the doctor tell me I had taken a muscle relaxer or diazepine; which I had not. When I told him I had not he kept asking me "did I borrow any medicine from anyone" instead of trying to help me find the real problem that may have caused this error. I had taken over the counter Allergy Capsules Diphenhydramine HIC* Antihistamine, Multi-Symptom Allergy Relief *Acetaminophen* Phenylephrine HIC* Chlorpheniramine maleate, BC Arthritis, Tylenol Cold Multi-Sympton Severe, Benadryl*Diphenhydramine, and RX meds Losartan, Hydrocodine-APAP Lortab, Prilosec, Zocor, Fluoxetine, and Mirapex The so called doctor I spoke with on the phone was so rude and just kept trying to get me to say I had taken a "borrowed" medicine....never !...

Anytime you have such a serious medical condition, you really need to check with your doctor, before taking anything. It would be remiss of me to answer one way or the other, when I am not familiar with your medical history, your overall health or any other medications that you may be taking. Was it prescribed by your doctor?
