I read on this website about an old kidney remedy that might be able to help my ankles, calf and feet swelling. Please, I don’t know what to do! The calf has black marks that my doctor thinks are clots, as my fingernail touched one after a shower and blood spurted out of it; and then after I cleaned it up, light pink fluid ran down my leg. The OTC med had 2 initials before the rest of the name! ## I am sorry, I don't know what medication you are asking about. Can anyone else that's familiar with it chime in? As to your issue, if your doctor thinks you are having clots, or some other issue, it would be best to follow their instructions for further testing, and take whatever medication they recommend. The FDA warns that not doing so could cause a clot to break loose, which m...

Can i use quadriderm for my hypertrophic scar on my knee and wrist and black spots on my leg? ## Hi sandy, Quadriderm cream contains the following active ingredients per gram of ointment: Betamethasone valerate 610 mcg (equiv to betamethasone 500 mcg) + gentamicin sulfate (equiv to gentamicin 1 mg) + tolnaftate 10 mg + clioquinol 10 mg From what I could gather, it is a topical Anti-Infective/Anti-bacterial with Corticosteroids, used to treat a wide variety of skin disorders, including; eczemas & other allergic & inflammatory dermatoses where there is secondary bacterial &/or fungal infections. Hypertrophic scarring is considered to be heavy scarring that can appear around a piercing or other wound. It doesn't sound like something Quadriderm cream would necessarily treat,...

I take three 10mg physeptone daily for chronic pain caused by lupus and fibromyalgia. Recently developed a virus which caused painful inflammation when dry coughing and extra pain throughout my body. I also did not realize I had a temp above 38c. My doctor prescribed 25mg prednisone for a week. Just in two days of taking prednisone I haven’t needed to take physeptone (I can’t take morphine based drugs). Prednisone has worked like a miracle in reducing pain. I realise lupus is an autoimmune disease and prednisone an immunosupressant. I’ve always balked against taking steroid based drugs because of the side effects but I can’t believe how well it works. Perhaps I should be taking prednisone as physeptone doesn’t kill the pain totally. ## Ultimately, you can r...

I started on prednisone for extreme knee and hip pain. Can't sleep. No relief yet. Can I take hydrocodone? I took Tylenol several hours ago with no relief from that either. ## I was put on Celebrex, 200 mg, for severe hip pain and arthritis. Can't mix Advil (only Tylenol) which does nothing for me. Tried cutting a 5/300 Vicodin in half and that sure helped take the edge off. Am going to discuss further with my neuromuscularskeletal doctor. Trying to avoid an epidural shot and surgery. I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and scoliosis, along with arthritis. ## Thank You very much for sharing your challenge with me. It definitely helped me. I decided to break one of the 7.50 hydrocodones in half (i know naproxen is a no-np). I took half and within 10 minutes I felt NO pain....

Is it okay to use quadriderm for acne? How about on a long term basis? Because I have pretty bad acne and nothing has worked, but quadriderm works overnight! What the heck is this cream? ## Quadriderm contains the active ingredient Betamethasone, which is a steroid class medication in a topical formulation to treat various skin conditions. Have you consulted a doctor? While this may help, it can cause some side effects that could cause serous problems, such as its suppression of the immune system. ## Can Quadriderm treat the itching, redness and rashes around the vaginal area as it seems to have after latex condom use?

I took a 500 mg Naproxen yesterday, it took a second to kick in. I was having a real bad headache and a friend gave me one. When I got to work I started feeling really relaxed and dizzy. It was like my body felt like putty or I had no bones in my body. Is it suppose to make me feel this way? True enough the headache was gone and I felt like a totally different person but I didn't like the side affects it caused. ## My doctor recommended to start with two 220 mg. pills for arthritis - which would only be 440 mgs and then follow with only one within the time allotted according to the bottle. He told us not to take more than the 440 mg. EVER so it sounds like you possibly took too much and one at 220 mg would have been better for a headache, unless it was a migraine, then you'd tak...
