Can i use zycan 200 continuously? ## Which specific product were you asking about? Zicam is the name brand for a group of products that are used to treat cold and allergy symptoms, but not all contain the same ingredients. You can learn more Zicam details here. Additionally, from what I am reading, there is nothing in them that is proven effective at treating candida.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THIS CONTAINS ## If that's what is listed on the label or prescribing information, then it is most likely that it contained the active ingredient Promethazine in a dosage of 6.25mgs per teaspoon (5mls). Promethazine is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergies, nausea and as a sedative, its side effects are usually related to that and may include dizziness, drowsiness and sedation. You can learn more Promethazine details here. Are there any questions?

this is a prescription I once had. Clear yellow capulse. ## That tells us nothing. Need to know more information, are there any markings on them? ## There are no markings on the small capsule I described for Cough. It worked fantastic. The Dr. who prescribed has died. No one else seems to know what it could be. ## Actually, I think I do know, it is a small, orange or brownish colored gel capsule thing, very tiny with liquid inside. My husband had them awhile ago, it is actually a type of anesthetic that works by numbing to supress your cough. I am hunting for my bottle for the name, as soon as I find it, I will post the name. There is a marking on these, however, it is too tiny to see without a magnifying glass. I remember when my husband got his, and I looked it up for side-effects, I ...

Where can I obtain some Dexbrompheniramine or Drixoral? ## The manufacturer "merck pharmaceuticals" posted on their webpage, the following information regarding Drixoral: "We are no longer manufacturing Drixoral Cold and Allergy in the United States. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and can offer the following alternatives: CLARITIN D-12 CLARITIN D-24 Questions or Comments: 1-800-317-2165" With that said, you may have to end up turning towards various Canadian pharmacies to obtain some Drixoral. Raw honey would also be helpful if you're managing low to below moderate level allergies. But if you really want a potent natural remedy, raw honey, mixed with a few grams of ginger and garlic paste, is a potential preparation against hundreds of diseases...

My seven-year-old son recently experienced acute stomach pain, accompanied by rashes on his legs, which led us to admit him to a hospital. Prior to this, he had vomited a few times but did not have a fever. He managed to pass stool after being given an enema before his hospital admission. The diagnostic results from an ultrasound indicated mesenteric lymphadenitis. On the first day, in the evening, they administered a Taxim IV injection of 500mg thrice a day. They also gave him an Avil 1ml IV injection, which caused the rashes to disappear within four hours. However, by the next day (the second day), we noticed that these rashes had reappeared all over his body, including his face. The doctor was unsure why they returned and could not explain why the rashes did not recede after the seco...

this drug was prescribed for constant coughing. If you have high blood pressure is this drug ok to take? ## Is promethazine vc/ co promethazine with codeine? ## does the cought medicine promethazine with codeine raises blood pressure? ## There is a chance that the Promethazine could raise your blood pressure, thus I'd suggest not taking it, unless your doctor has specifically said that it's okay for you to do so. These antihistamines are something that you have to be careful with. You can learn more Promethazine details here. Alternatively, if your blood pressure is under control or low, then you'll likely also have to check about using this due to the Codeine in it. Narcotics can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could cause your blood pressure to fall t...

A white large oval pill imprinted with Andrx 605. Found in my medicine cabinet and want to identify what it is for. ## 24 Hour Allergy Pill. Like claritin or allegra. Works better than allegra for me though! ## To add some specific details, the tablet in question contains 10mgs of Lortadine and 240mgs of Pseudoephedrine, it is used to treat allergy symptoms. As of now, since it contains the Pseudoephedrine, it is only available by requesting it at the pharmacy counter, where you have to sign for it and show ID to prove you are over 18. This was enacted several years ago, to help curtail abuse and methamphetamine manufacturing. Are there any questions or comments? There are more Loratidine details available here and there are more Pseudoephedrine details available here.
