fever,heat stroke, was given in Ecuador ## Sorry, foreign countries do not regulate their drugs like the US does, so finding information on them is very difficult, so there is no way of knowing what this is. ## I was in mexico with a sore throat. A few weeks ago at home in us I thought I had the flu then I had this lingering sore throat.. I went to the phamacia here and they gave me Febrax for it.. took it one day not sure if it worked but would like to know what the hell it is.. can't find anything about. ## VERWON...im afraid to tell you that Mexico regulates medicine the same as US.

trying to identify a pill found at my house left by my daughter's boyfriend. white oblong pill with a 599 code and G6 stamped on it ## I was not able to find an exact match based on your description. The closest thing I could find was a grey oblong pill with 599 preceded by a fancy looking R in front if the number. Click on the link below to see a picture of the pill... If the picture matches the pill which you found, then it is Etodolac 400mg. If it is not a match, then the pill is either from outside the USA, an over the counter drug, or an illegal drug. Hopefully it's not the last possibility. Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do... ## Thanks for the reply...it is not the pill in the photo link...it looks similar to the RX Ibuprophe...

I have been prescribed mesulid for cysts on the lymph nodes in the pelvic area. Does it work? ## For questions of safety, your doctor should know your medical history before prescribing it to you. Like most drugs in NSAID category, nimesulide is known to be hepatotoxic (damaging to the liver) in rare but unpredictable cases and should be taken with care. The patient information leaflet informs that the use of nimesulide in children under the age of 12 is contraindicated. For more information click on the link below...

I found this pill in my kids room...just wondering do people abuse this drug? Please let me know ## I heard that some people have used it recreationally ... just wondering..I'm worried and am hoping my kid is not hooked on them.. ## Naproxen will not get someone high, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. It is commonly sold over the counter in a lower dosage as Aleve or generic or store brands. This is, however, a prescription strength tablet, so your child should not have it. It is illegal to have this without a valid prescription. The other operative question you may want to look into is what your child thinks it is, do they think it is something they can get high off of, like a narcotic? Have they been taking other medications that they shouldn't be?

Is there a non-script replacement for Prednisone. This may sound really dumb, but we have a dog with big time allergies and the only thing that will help him is Prednisone. Problem is that the Vet wants to run $200 - $300 worth of blood test every month before they will renew the script. Needless to say, we really can't afford this. The dog is 14 years old and nothing else helps with the allergies. ## Prednisone is a corticosteroid and as such is available by prescription only, as are all the alternatives.

Does Aulin have side effects? I take it almost twice a week because I have migraines and Aulin makes me feel good. Do I have any risk? ## Everything you take has side effects, it doesn't matter what it is. Aulin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory.

my body doesn't produce estrogen, resulting in ovarian failure at a young age. i now have to take estrogen (birth control) daily for the rest of my life. i recently went to my doctor and he was concerned that i still have acne, ran a bunch of blood tests, and perscribed me dexamethasone. he said one of my hormone levels is high and this drug should balance it. i've been reading about it and i don't see a connection, only pretty disturbing side effects. i realize i am in an extremely rare situation, but does anyone know anything about this drug that may help me? has anyone had any experience with it? i don't feel comfortable taking it just yet.

I am considering going on this drug. I am interested in the side effects that people have had on it. Thanks. ## Here's a link to the monograph that lists the most common side effects: ## Verwon, Thanks for your response. ## Very welcome!
