Allergies, Cough & Cold Forums (Page 97)

I want to know if Avil 25mg is habit forming as I have seasonal allergies during the rainy season where I live, but I don't necessarily want to become too dependent on it. ## Pheniramine (Avil) is an antihistamine with anticholinergic properties used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever or urticaria. According to the articles referenced below, Pheniramine does seem to have the potential to cause dependence if you're not careful about its use: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16492663 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7906008 I hope this helps!

I have a second degree burn and, although it doesnt hurt anymore my skin is pulled tight and is very dry. Could i apply this to my hand to replenish my skin in the burned areas? ## From what I could gather, Mometasone furoate cream USP 0.1% is a medium potency corticosteroid, indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Ref: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=19691 Dermatoses is a general term used to describe any skin defect or lesion on the skin. So in that sense, it should be of some help to your skin. I would also suggest rubbing cucumber on the affected area for additional healing benefits. I believe the more fresh fruit and vegetables we eat, the easier it is for our skin and other organs to heal thems...

can it be administered to a 76yr patient. there seems to be slight blood in the urine. his hemoglobin is 9gms. or could it be a infection ## Nefrosave contains the active ingredients Acetylcysteine and Taurine. Learn more Acetylcysteine details here. Learn more Taurine details here. The only actual drug here is the Acetylcysteine, which mainly works as a mucolytic, so it's not going to help with blood in his urine and I am sorry, but I have no information on the safety of administering it to elderly patients. Has his urine been tested to see if he has an infection?

I found some pills in my sons room that was pink with a v on one side and a 25 on the other. Can someone please help me identify it so i know if my son is doing some thing dangerous!?! ## sounds like diphenhydramine.... possibly. aka generic benadryl ## its completely pink and not a capsule. i cant find any information about it online. ## Have you considered asking your son what it might be? I would think that he should know very well what he is putting into his body. The closet match that comes to mind is Diphenhydramine HCL (25 mg); just as Jobobo mentioned. Diphenhydramine is mainly used to treat allergies, insomnia, motion sickness, and even used as a sleep aid.

I am wondering how long the cough medicine is good for?(shelf life) Was prescribed for my cough. This is an $85.00 bottle of medicine and would like to also know where to keep it. ## Hello, Based on my research, U.S. prescription medications are required to have a mandatory expiration date of 1 year from the date the prescription is filled. After a year is up, the medication should still be safe but it will start to lose its potency and can no longer be as effective. However, there are some medications that can become dangerous after they expire. That being said, it's best to not take any medication after its expiration date. The medication might have a label that explains how/where it should be stored, but if not, I would ask the pharmacist. It's usually best to keep medication...

i get severe itching/scratching attack (i dont know what trigger it off) (if any) cant stop. i tear up my flesh up to 5 days then slow/stop but then the rips on my skin make me continue scratching which cause more itching. male. 54 no health issue at all. ## Is there any particular time of day that it seems to start? Is your skin actually itchy, or is this just compulsive behavior, like you feel the urge to scratch and can't stop yourself? When it happens, is there any skin rash, or any type of markings on your skin, such as hives, or small red spots? Learn more allergy details here. It could be an allergy, but there are also several other possibilities, so I need more information.

I am a concerned parent of a teenaged boy. I have found a small red coated pill (size and brightness of a red skittle). There is no scoring on either side. One side has two black letters that could be a combination of either of these G, C, e. I cant make out the letter too well because they have been held and seems to have smeared. The coating seems to be thin as pill coating "melts" on your hands. The other side has no markings. My teenager said these pills are supposed to be Atterall. I have searched and can not find Atterall with the appearance of these. Please help in identifying these. ## I'm wondering if it might be a Coricidin Cough and Cold tablet, because they match this description and, while they make several, these particular ones have a CC on them that almost ov...

I have been prescribed Nasonex and used it for couple of years for Alergy. I start suffering from severe eye dryness started with an infection in my eyes which it took couple of months to recover, but the eye dryness and the pressure I feel on my eyes is with me since then. I was diagnosed with eye Catarax in my both eyes when I was 52. Is there any Attorney working on this? ## Hi Parvin, You're certainly not alone on this matter. I recently came across another thread here in the forum discussing the possibility of a class action lawsuit against Nasonex. You can have a look at it here: Discuss/Class-Action-against-the-makers-of-Nasonex-215748.htm I'm unsure if any action has been taken just yet, but perhaps you can discuss this more with those individuals who are experiencing th...

My health insurance to longer covers this drug where can it be purchased? ## Hi Birdie, Even if your health insurance no longer covers this medication, you should still be able to get a prescription filled at any pharmacy. However, if you're looking for a discount I would recommend asking your doctor or pharmacy about patient assistance programs or drug coupons to save money. If you run a google search for "Clarinex D 24 hour coupons" there seem to be a few good sites that offer coupons based on eligibility requirements. I hope this helps!

I just took the last of my effective dosage for allergic and sinus related symptoms. Didn't save the box. The round yellow scored pill was imprinted with "L-463" and can't remember what store ,or which name it was sold under. Any hints? ## I don't know what name it was sold under, since that can vary depending on the store selling it. This is a generic and is usually sold as the store brand. However, I can tell you that it is a 4mg Chlorpheniramine tablet, it's an antihistamine, used to treat allergies. Learn more Chlorpheniramine details here. Thus, what you'd want to look for is something with that same ingredient in the same dosage. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Verwon, Thanks for the enlightening info. I knew it could be Chlortrimeton, but yo...

This pill is in the wrong bottle, can't find one like it. ## Hi jean, The closest match I'm finding to your pill is that of generic Mucinex (Guaifenesin) 400mg, used for chest congestion - expectorant. NOTE: This oblong white pill is said to have an imprint of "Ph 063" as opposed to "Ph 078"; with a score on one side as well. Learn More: Guaifenesin Details Any chance the marking could've been misread?
