Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 85)

I was prescribed Avamys by a Dr especially because i sleep with a cpap machine and i struggle to keep my nose open (since 2009), therefore i rip the mask off at night, during sleep. After using Avamys this year (with great results) i have been sleeping better and better and longer with my machine. The problem that i have is in the holder. I have used the product now for two months and found that i have to go and buy an extra one every month to make it through the month. I struggle to use (press) the holder correctly and then about 15 days later it is empty and i only use it at night? I assume with all my trying i am losing about half of the medicine? Is it possible to get a better holder? Thank you for the product. ## This website does not manufacture, nor sell any medications, it is an...

Why I feel little bit weak and little bit shaking after taking salbutamol guiaffenesin? ## HI, Angie! How are you? Salbutamol is the most likely culprit, it is well known to cause the types of side effects you've described. You may also experience dry mouth, muscle cramps and palpitations. Learn more Salbutamol details here. Has your doctor prescribed this medication? ## Hi!!! Yes my dr. Prescribed it, but the label is just like salbutamol guiaffenesin but I drink the salbutamol guiaffenesin ventolin because the the first one is not available in pharmacy so I got the second one with ventolin.. You think it's fine or normal that I feel that side effect when I'm taking it?! Thanks a lot...

The three empty units were full of the powder. I opened a new unit and compared the amount of powder with the supposedly empty units and they were the same indicating nothing was being dispensed.. ## Hi, Tom! Did it help you? That would be the best judge of whether or not any medication is being dispensed, rather than trying to judge the amount visually. There's always going to be some left in the dispenser. Learn more Asmanex details here. However, if you really feel there was a problem, it would be best to contact the manufacturer and you can find more information on doing so via their website, asmanex.com. ## The empty units had exactly the same amount as the new one. About a full tablespoon full. The reason I checked it it never bothered my throat when I didn't wash out my m...

The top # is the same 44 but bottom # is 113 is this the same thing? For Allergies?? ## The tablet with the 44 over 113 contains 60mgs of Pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. It may help with a stuffy nose caused by an allergy, but that is all it will do. Learn more Pseudoephedrine details here. It will not really help much with other allergy symptoms, for that you would need an actual antihistamine. Is there anything else I can help with?

could taking Claritin-D give a false positive for meth on a urine test ## According to askdocweb, the answer to your question is yes. Both of the active ingredients in Claritin-D (Loratadine + Pseudoephedrine) are known to cause false positives for Amphetamines, and I'm sure this also includes Methamphetamines, because certain drug tests cannot distinguish between drug class vs drug name, etc. I hope this helps to answer your question! ## i have doctors and nurses and pharmacist tell me that claitin d does not show up in urine test for methamphetamine.does it show up as amphtamines then?i was going to have brain sergury and they cancelled because they said my urine test was positive w/ this in it and it would have a bad reaction w/ the anastasia. ## Yes Claritin D will show IP posit...

I have taken 2 tablets/day of am ox clave 875 mg for 10 days. Will this cause coughing? ## Hi bob, Would you describe it as more of a gag reflex type of cough? Just wondering because "vomiting" is really the only side effect listed under this medication that I find comes close to "coughing". On the other hand, it's possible that you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions to Amoxicillin can include, but are not limited to the following symptoms: Swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing In either case, it sounds to me like you should probably report this side effect to your doctor, just to be on the safe side. If for some reason this was an allergic reaction, it's usually better to act on it early before...

My son take clonidine 0.1 mg for sleep is it safe to give him a Benadryl if he runs out of his clonidine 0.1 mg ## Hi Rusty, Based on my research, Clonidine and Benadryl do have a drug interaction problem, in that, they may have additive effects on lowering your blood pressure when taken together or within the same time frame. Symptoms associated with low blood pressure may involve headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or low pulse/heart rate. So even though these are two different types of medications (Benadryl being an allergy medicine and Clonidine being a blood pressure medicine), I personally wouldn't recommend using the Benadryl until you know for sure that the Clonidine is out of his system completely. I think it's just best to play it safe when it comes to thes...

It's an oblong peach-colored tablet engraved WL 89 estimated to weigh 300mg. What is it, please ## Hi Rolando, Based on the description provided, the closest match I could locate is an oblong peach pill imprinted with "WL 89" on one side and "SU PE" on the other. This particular pill is identified as Sudafed PE Sinus Headache, containing: Acetaminophen (325mg) + Phenylephrine (5mg) Size: roughly 18 mm Sudafed temporarily relieves symptoms associated with hay fever, the common cold, and a number of other respiratory allergies.

sir i am having fever and cough, doctor prescribed me azithral 500, calpol 500, levocet and a cough syrup. What i want to know is about this antibiotics. Does it help in killing the viruses or it'll only supress it. Is it good to avoid the antibiotic and take the rest of the medicines? ## An Antibiotic will not do anything for a virus, it will not treat it, clear it up or suppress it. Antibiotics are only effective at treating bacterial infections. What medications you take are up to you, I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't take. That is up to you and your doctor, I can only provide you with information on them in relation to the questions you ask. Are you feeling any better, yet?

Have a pill tan one side 5029 on it other side is white with 5/120 on it i know what the pill is was wondering what side of it has the time release and wich side was the pseodephedrine ## I'm sorry, but that's not how it works, you won't be able to separate one from the other. If you need something that just contains Pseudoephedrine, there are still some products available that contain it, they are available over the counter, but must be asked for at your pharmacy desk. You will also need to provide identification and sign for the purchase. Learn more Pseudoephedrine details here. Is there anything else I can help with?
