For over a month now I've have noticed dark spots on my gums and lips. They weren't there before. I want to know if the hcqs, lefumide or steroids (prednisone) have ever had any side effects like that? I have been taking these meds since 2014. Also, could too much exposure to sunlight whilst on the meds affect one's lips?

What is a peach or light orangish, oval or football shaped pill with 250 on one side and NO|VO on the other? I'm assuming naproxen but all web searches show this to be yellow and the peach version 500mg. So many generic versions out there but then again maybe it's not naproxen?

between the two, which one is more harmful? ## Hello, Praly! How are you? There's really no way to say, there are risks with any given medication, such as stomach ulceration, liver damage or liver failure, according to the U.S. FDA. Which one has your doctor advised you to use? ## Aceclofenac is safer than nimesulide, because aceclofenac inhibit lesser amount of cox-1(which helps in formation of beneficial prostaglandin).

However, if you are on it for awhile, they will taper off after about a month of use, as your body starts to get used to the medication. Learn more Paracetamol details here.

I am a 69 year old female looking for a pharmacy in or near Hamburg, NY that carries Greenstone generics and specifically hydrocortisone. My reason for requesting this better generic was that I have recently been diagnosed with Addison's Primary, after suffering and dealing with adverse effects since at least 2005 for two days, then again in 2012 for 9 days until getting what we now know was an incorrect diagnosis of SIADH. I researched the hydrocortisone generic Greenstone was far better to use. I could use some assistance in finding just who carries this brand of generic. Thank you. ## Hello, Diane! How are you? I'm sorry, but unfortunately, there is no listing of what pharmacy carries the product from any given manufacture, because such information is very dynamic, and may ch...

i found out that i was pregnant & about 2-3 weeks, and i took searle pills insert 1 & swallow 2 but up to now my period has not come down as yet, so i was wondering if something is wrong here? ## Searle is the name of a drug manufacturer, that is now part of the Pfizer corporation, so I am not quite certain which one of their products you are talking about. They manufacture both the Cytotec tablet, which can be used to induce abortion and a morning after tablet. Cytotec contains the active ingredient Misoprostol, it is usually used completely vaginally, one every 12 hours, for a total of 3 dosages. If it is taken orally, the dosages are still split up and it is left to dissolve sublingually, between the gum and cheek. The morning after pills are hormonal tablets, there are sever...

Small white circle pill with U over 191 (separated by a score line): U ---- 191 That's what it looks like. What is it? ## I believe that the pill which you have is Misoprostol, likely from outside the United States. Part of a 4 pill dose. ## Hello BS, I was not able to find a pill that has the imprint U 191, however, if turned upside down it makes the imprint n 161 and I was able to find a Misoprostol 0.2 MG tral tablet that matches that description. Here is some additional information I pulled from the National Institute of Health's website for the drug (NDC: 3386-161) Active Ingredient: Misoprostol 200 ug Inactive Ingredients: - Hydrogenated Castor Oil - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Crospovidone Manufacturer: Lupin Pharmaceuticals,Inc.

Is diclofenac potassium b.p 50mg, pitofenone hydrochloride 5 mg and fenpiverinium bromid .1mg - super spas tablet safe in the 27th week of pregnancy? ## I am 82yrs old. Can I take this tablet after meals as stomach pain is always there? ## Shailendr, no it should not be taken during pregnancy, unless your doctor has instructed you to take it. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that can cause blood thinning and an increased risk of bleeding, according to NIH warnings, thus it is not usually given during late pregnancy. Vishv, it can cause stomach irritation as a side effect, according to NIH warnings, along with nausea, and headache. Have you seen a doctor regarding the stomach pain? Are you on any other medications?

round orange pill with dan 2 times on one side and 5443 on one side ## Your question is a little confusing because in one place you have Watson 5443, and in another you have Dan Dan 5443. I am assuming it is Dan Dan 5443 because the other characteristics you list match. This is an anti-imflammatory, steroidal medication called Prednisone. It is used to reduce the imflammation in the joints, lungs, heart and many other types of imflammation. Side effects include ravenous hunger, insomnia, dizziness, among other side effects. ## Watson purchased the rights to manufacture this medication, so they are now listed as the manufacturer, and one of their licensed distributors is McKesson Packaging Services. NDC code: 63739-0588 They do list it as containing 20mgs of Prednisone, which is a steroi...

round peach pill one side v other side scored 50/92 ## Are you sure it doesn't say 50 93 or 50 94 instead of 50 92? If it does say v 50 92 then it is probably an older version of 20mg prednisone. This is a steroidal anti-imflammatory medication, used especially for joint imflammation and lung imflammation, among others. Side effects include ravenous hunger, insomnia, stomach pain, among others. The other possibility is that it says b 50 92. This would be naltroxone. A medication used to help people get off of opiates, to wean them off. ## McKesson Packaging Services lists this tablet as containing 20mgs of Prednisone. NDC code: 63739-0520 It is a steroid class medication that is used to treat allergic reactions, immune disorders. and swelling. Though they can vary depending on produ...

I accidentally took an expired diclofenac potassium drug, which was expired in 12/2016. It has been 15 minutes since I took it. What are the effects? And what can I do? ## This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, according to FDA reports, it just starts to lose efficacy. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. How are you feeling? Have you experienced any issues? Are you on any other medications? ## I took diclofenac 50mg yesterday night and when I saw the expiry date it was 2016. So do I face any health problem because of this? I'm worried a lot. Thanks.
