Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 90)

My doctor prescribed Nasonex for a persistant cough, I only took it for approx one month and then noticed that from morning to night I was aware of a constant smell of fumes and a hightened smell of everything, especially detergents and room deoderisers, also a prickle feeling in my eyes. On returning to my GP she put me on Loratadine for two months, it is now two months on and I am no better. My life has been spoiled over the last three months, I am sucking peppermints all day long and eating as often as possible, I have put on 7 or 8 pounds and feel awful.

Hey, my girlfreind has been clean from being addicted to several types of controlled substances for over 8 months now. but today a white rectangular but rounded edged pill with the imprint of cyp 303 on one side and blank on the other side dropped out of her pocket when she was changing. im not too worried that its anything that can be abused bc she told me she doesnt even want and let me take it away. if anyone has any idea of what this can be for and if its a controlled subst. i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks so much ## CYP 303 is used to treat colds and allergies.

My Mother suffers from MS and has a PEG tube using Jevity 1.5 3 times a day, has anyone expereinced increase pulse rate ? ## Hi Kevin! How is she feeling? Has she ever been diagnosed with any allergies? Or has she ever had any type of acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers or etc.? Both of those may cause this issue. If she's sensitive or allergic to something in it it could cause an elevate pulse rate.
