It worked!!!! It was the best. It also was sold as Buckley's Cough Medicinie. I miss it. Nothing compares to it. ## Hi pecool, Did you happen to come across any other retailers or distributors that still offer this medication? After doing some additional research, I found that Dextromethorphan is the name of the active ingredient. However, the Buckley brand itself seems to only be available in Canada. There are also notices from the FDA stating their intent to remove some unapproved allergy, cough, and cold medications from the market, that may include Dextromethorphan. You can read more about this important warning message at: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682492.html For more specific details on the availability of this product, Buckley's customer service department c...

I was wondering what the layers of this pill mean. One side is white and bottom brown color. What medicine is this? ## Hello, Jude! How are you? Neither! It's just the way the manufacturer decided to make the tablet look, but both medications are evenly suspected throughout the tablet and you couldn't separate them out by trying to divide the colors. Is there anything else I can help with?

I would like to know where I can find Histatussin for Adults either in my area or on the web. I live in Port St. Lucie Florida ## Hello, Carole! How are you? From what I can find, Histatussin isn't available in the U.S. It contains Chlorpheniramine and Ephedrine, the latter of which can be very dangerous, so such formulations have been banned here. Learn more Chlorpheniramine details here. Learn more Ephedrine details here. Thus, ordering it would also not be permitted. Is there anything else I can help with?

i`m suffering hbp. can i take tuseran forte and alaxan fast relief ## Tuseran Forte contains Dextromethorphan, Acetaminophen/Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. There is a warning that it may elevate blood pressure, so it is probably not advisable to use it, without first consulting with your doctor. Alaxan FR contains Acetaminophen/Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, used to treat pain, fever and swelling. The problem with this one is that the Ibuprofen can cause your body to retain fluids, which can be dangerous when your blood pressure is high. Have you tried consulting your doctor on what you can safely use? ## What kind of contraceptive pill can a breastfeeding mother use..

What are the laws on sudefed. And are the states connected together ## Hello, Sanny! How are you? Due to the potential abuse factor and since Pseudoephedrine can be used to manufacture Meth, everyone can only purchase a small, limited quantity of it each month. They must sign for it and show identification at the pharmacy. And yes, it is a federal thing, so it applies to all states and your purchases are recorded in a central database kept by the government. Learn more Pseudoephedrine details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is Losartan HCT safe if I have a bad allerigc reaction to sulfa? ## Though it isn't common, Losartan can sometimes cause an allergic reaction in some people that have sulfa allergies. Learn more Hyzaar details here. Thus, you may want to ask your doctor about prescribing a different medication. Many people can take this class of medications, without a problem and I can use myself as an example here, but it really depends on how allergic and sensitive that you are. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Someone gave me a tiny white round pill with "M" on one side inside a square and 5 on the other side. I was told it was albuterol but i'm not convinced. Any ideas? ## Is the 5 above a score line? If so, this tablet contains 5mgs of Oxycodone. 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.

albuterol tablets price went from 8 dollars to 295 dollars!!! what could i take instead, inhalers also cost too much. I have a nebulizer machine but the tablets work better for me. ## Hello, Mzmeanez! How are you? Unfortunately, many pharmacies don't explain how the medication discounts they offer work. Each medication that they can offer for such low prices, such as $4, $8 or $10 are under a contractual agreement with the manufacturer…. an agreement that the manufacturer has the option of ending, once it runs out. Many of them will just renew, but some elect not to and you end up with drastic price changes like this. There have been several other medications that also changed recently and the prices got really ridiculous. Learn more Albuterol details here. However, the only s...

I found a baggie of unlabeled hot pink capsules with white powder inside. Does anyone know what this could be? ## Hello, Killakev! How are you? Without any markings, it's difficult to determine what they contain, unless you would pay to have them lab tested somewhere. However, we can rule them out as being a U.S. prescription product, since they are all required to have markings to enable their identification, in case of emergency. And a wild stab at what they are, but I've seen some Diphenhydramine capsules that meet this description, a generic or store brand of Benadryl. Learn more Diphenhydramine details here. Does anyone else have an idea of what these might be?

Hello, I've just bought the UK Version of 'Sominex', a night-time sleep aid - the active ingredient is the antihistamine Promethazine Hydrochloride. It says not to use it if you've recently used MAO inhibitors - I'm not on any prescribed MAO inhibitors, but I have recently used herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthero), and also Resveratrol and Quercetin, all of which apparently are mild(?) MAO inhibitors. Am I safe to use Promethazine with these herbs/compounds, as they are are not prescription-strength MAO inhibitors? Or should I play safe and not mix them? Many thanks! ## Hello, Ian! How are you? I've checked for possible interactions and the only thing I found listed was between the Ashwaghanda and the Promethazine, taking both together w...

Could taking 10mg of Cetirizine Hydrochloride clear up a UTI or would I need a stronger antibiotic initially? ## Hello, Larissa! How are you? Sorry about the UTI. However, Cetirizine is not an antibiotic. It's an antihistamine that's used to treat allergies. Learn more Cetirizine details here. Thus, it won't do anything to treat a UTI. Have you consulted your doctor? They'll need to confirm the presence of an infection and prescribe you an appropriate antibiotic, if one is present.
