Rottweiler his 3rd verba bray bone is believe to affected the vet gave him this drug. He is now stumbling all over the place. This is either cause by the medicine or the bone. Answers Please ## Hello, Hawg! How are you? This is an antibiotic and the FDA lists its typical side effects, in canines, as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and drowsiness. Thus, it may actually be a combination of both, since this medication can cause dizziness. However, I am not well versed on the use of mediations in animals, so I advise you to consult your veterinarian to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with?

i was prescribibed lidocaine viscous i want to know if it will show as cocaine in hair folic ## Yes, there is a possibility that it may cause a false positive for it, because it is related to Cocaine and has been known to do so. Your best bet is to inform them that you have been taking it, before you have the test. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello Verwon, I am not a drug user but tested positive for cocaine in a hair drug test at work and was terminated. 3 months prior to the drug test I had been injected with Lidocaine several times for a biopsy. However, I have been told by 3 different doctors that Lidocaine does not show up as cocaine because they are not related at all. Where can I find resources/help to fight this?

Should I feel funny after applying this medication ## Hello, LC! How are you? What do you mean by feeling funny? The lido is Lidocaine, which is an anesthetic, so after application, your skin may feel tingly and numb. Otherwise, the other side effects, as listed by the FDA, are generally limited to its topical use and can include skin redness, irritation and dryness.

I need to know if dibucaine ointment will cure ringworm ## Hello, Roe! How are you? No, Dibucaine won't do anything to treat ringworm. It is a topical anesthetic that alleviates pain and itching. Its typical side effects include skin redness, itching and dryness. However, ringworm is actually a fungal infection that requires an antifungal medication to be eradicated. Is there anything else I can help with?

Broken thumb will not heal with new bone growth. I use a small patch on joint. Could the patch be a factor in no healing? 4 surgeries in 7 months. Still in a cast with port for bone stimulator. I put quarter size patch in port hole for pain 24/7. ## Hello, Cusher! How are you? It's very doubtful, since this is just a mild topical anesthetic, your body usually does't absorb much of it. That's why the FDA lists most of the side effects as being related to topical use, like skin irritation, redness, itching and rash. However, it would be best to check with your doctor, to be sure. Are they aware that you're using it? You likely shouldn't leave it in the port, when using the stimulator. ## I was using for pain only but have stopped putting in port till next x-ray. I love...

Is there any problem with being on Suboxone and be able to wear a lidoderm patch for nerve pain from a spinal surgery? ## Is there any problems using lidoderm patch while being on suboxone? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Suboxone (buprenorphine) and Lidoderm (lidocaine topical). This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. More information about these two medications can be viewed in the links below: Please post back if you have any other questions or comments to add. ## Can u take suboxine or percocet with sovaldi or ribasphere?

I put it on my back and within one hour it is falling off or sticking to itself. ## Hello, Linda! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you consulted your doctor? They may approve your using some extra medical tape to hold it on. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lidoderm as being related to its topical use and they may possibly include skin irritation, redness, rash and itching. ## My doctor said to try taping the top and bottom. I am unable to use tapes as they take my skin off. I am trying to use paper tape today. It is holding for the most part, but I have to remove it now and will know if I can use it. Some burning and itching so am a little scared.

This is a medication from the UK called Dormicum, it contains Midazolam, which is classified by the FDA as being a benzodiazepine. This one is most commonly used to treat seizures, severe insomnia and for inducing sedation before medical procedures. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Mistakely put eardrop into my mothers eyes. Wanting to know what is some of the problems she may have . ## Hello, Yoyo! How is she? Did she suffer any adverse effects? Likely nothing will happen, other than some irritation, but since they aren't sterile, there is a risk of them causing an infection. Signs of that in the eye, as listed by the NIH, may include redness, swelling, discharge and excess tearing. She should report it to her doctor, so they can check for any possible issues. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ketamine has it's place in veteran medicine and certain indications that are very specific ## Hello, Kim! How are you? Yes, Ketamine is a very powerful drug, which is why it isn't used very often, anymore. Outside of veterinary medicine, it's used to treat some people with severe mental health disorders that have been resistant to other treatments and therapies and has some anesthetic applications. It's main side effects are due to its sedative like effects and may include dizziness, drowsiness, sedation and loss of consciousness.

Does this medication cause numbness to your face? ## Hi Rosa, If you are experiencing numbness or itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), then it is 'very likely' due to an allergic reaction of the medication itself. Also, Benzocaine, one of the main ingredients in this solution, is an anesthetic that helps to numb the pain. Is it possible that you may have used too much and got too much of a numbness effect by doing so? If you haven't already done so, I think it may be a good idea to consider contacting your doctor about switching medications or opting for a more natural alternative to this one, if the side effects become too bothersome or severe. I hope this helps! ## My ear is like bombt a thing a can't hear nothin my mom says its air inside my ear ca...

Premature ejaculation is a condition that not only affects men physically, but also emotionally. The thousands of individuals who suffer from sexual dysfunction can only understand the emotional pain of being unable to satisfy your partner. Relationships to their loved ones can be strained through PE, and there has been no clear solution to this disorder until recently. Urologists have worked together to develop a topical spray know as Promescent. Promescent deals directly with the problem of premature ejaculation, and has been carefully tested and approved by the FDA. It offers a new alternative and resource for those individuals who are desperately in need of a solution. No longer do men who suffer from PE have to worry about the emotional stress caused by being unable to perform to t...

While kegels, contractions and tantra might work for some of you most men with serious PE cannot solve their problems through these means. If it was that easy close to 1/3 of all men would not be affected by PE. Both physiological and psychological factors play a role in PE and both aspects must often be treated. The only products on the market today that actually work in treating serious cases of PE are SSRI's and desensitizing creams or sprays. While SSRI's have been shown to work they also come along with a number of side effects that include dry mouth, stomach problems and loss of sex drive so while you may last longer you may also lose your desire to have sex. The most promising desensitizing spray (PSD502) was unfortunately denied by the FDA even though the clinical trial ...

Tooth Pain/Root Canal/Crown/Antibiotics Not Working/Severe Pain Just over a year ago I had a root canal and a crown on the same tooth. On and off when I would floss there was a little blood and the crown felt a little 'off.' But I had no problem chewing. Now these many months later out of nowhere-I wake in severe pain in THAT area. Anything bothers it. I mean anything. I'm in severe pain. I know pain as I am a patient with spine issues. Anyway I try to wait it out to see if it's temporary, I was afterall raised this way but after two, then three days, I can't take it anymore and the Orajel is NOT doing its thing. I call the dentist. Gets me in pretty quick. Thank you! Xrays taken, takes a look, cannot see anything. Prescribes antibiotics. After two and a half days, t...

My boyfriend took a drug test and takes them once a week for the past yr . He has never failed . I had an ellegic reaction and had to use lidocain on my private area . We had sex the next day he failed for methadone ? Went to jail . Can lidocain b a false positive for methadone? ## You're dumb if you believe your boyfriend when he tells you it's your fault he failed for methadone because of lidocaine. He's a drug addict and he's afraid to tell you the truth. With that said, you two have some issues to work on. One being your level of intellect in believing dips***s like him, second, his drug abuse. Happy New Year! :)

Where can I find green lizard? ## Hi Kim, From what others have stated, "Green Lizard" is supposedly a compounded prescription containing a mixture of Lidocaine + Maalox + Donnatal. So it sounds like you may just have to speak with your doctor about writing a special prescription for it, provided that he understands your purpose for needing it. Apparently one of its primary uses is for cases of indigestion. NOTE: if it's of any help with your search, I did find that some people also refer to this cocktail as "The Green Goddess" I hope this info helps!
