What should be the recommended pediatric dosage of chymoral forte, for a 5 year old boy weighing 16 kg? ## What is the dose of chymoral for a boy who's five and a half years old? ## Hello, According to the manufacturer the dosage is going to be based upon the severity of the symptoms, age, weight and physical condition. Since the manufacturer does not specify a recommended dosage it would be best to consult your child's pediatrician to get proper guidance on what the appropriate dosage would be and if they believe that this is the right medication to be using. I hope this helps. ## Can a 5-year-old child take Chymoral tablets? ## What is the recommended dose of Chymoral forte tablets for a 10yr old? ## Can a 6year old use chymoral tablet weighing 18 kg

I've been to my doctor and told her I'm going for an interview for a bus driver position. She said paracetamol is fine. Also Naproxen 250mg. Is Naproxen ok for driving too?

I had an allergic reaction to Bactrim and was given prednisone - I took 60 mg, 80 mg, 60 mg, and then 40 mg. On the third day of prednisone I went to the ER because I woke up shaking uncontrollably. The last dose was a week ago today. Even since stopping, I have been feeling very shaky, weak, easily out of breath, tense/anxious, not sleeping properly, extremely emotional, and many other uncomfortable symptoms. I went to a doctor a couple of days ago and she basically said to give it time. I'm happy to do that but I'm also concerned about the (stupidly) large doses of prednisone I was given, and quitting abruptly even though it was only four days. Is it likely the symptoms I'm experiencing are a result of prednisone? I just got bloodwork, U/A, EKG results and nothing seems to...

Hello. I'm an addict in recovery, using the methadone maintenance as the way to wean off opiates. I currently take 1 95mg dose (methadone) in the morning, and I'm weaning down 2mg/month. I also have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and major lumbar pain. I take only Aleve for pain, as I'm told the methadone will not help me because I only take 1 single dose/day and not for pain management. I have had 2 surgeries on my back. A simple laminectomy, but my 2nd surgery was spinal fusion surgery. I have a metal cage in my lower back, but now; I need a 3rd surgery to repair the discs higher on my spine, as all the pain has returned and my very well-respected doctor highly suggests this. He ordered a series of steroidal epidural shots in my back. I did the 1st round of sho...

Prestodol -- this is a prescription drug I got in Mexico after dental work. It is made by Rayera (the logo is a capital R in a square circle). And under Prestodol it reads Clonixinato de Lisina. I am wondering if this is an antibiotic as that is what the dentist wanted me to take for the removal of a tooth. I live a long way from Mexico and can't go back to check. If you could help, I'd really appreciate it. ## According to spanish Wikipedia, Clonixinato de lisina is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which is used for pain relief [1]. Available in doses of either 125 or 250 mg. It did not say anything about it being an antibiotic. Sounds like the dentist simply gave you these to help with pain.

Is anyone familiar with a compound that contains Naproxen and Carisoprodol? ## Soma does not contain Naproxen, it only contains the muscle relaxant Carisoprodol. There is a Soma Compound that contains Aspirin and Carisoprodol, but none listed contain Naproxen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. ## Can you buy Naproxen/carisoprodol 250mg in the United States or Canada over the counter? Or is a prescription required? ## No, this product is not sold in the United States, but it is real and made in Mexico. Here in the U.S. you could buy Soma compound with Codeine or with Aspirin if your Doctor so chooses.

eye drop 5 ml dropping bottle (POLI INDUSTRIA CHIMICA S.p.a) ## This medicine appears to be from Italy. The active ingredients (in italian) are: IDROCORTISONE + NEOMICINA + NAFAZOLINA I dont completely know what those translate to.

I am 5 weeks pregnant and have taken 2 capsules of dueton one day ago with still no sign of periods. What should I do now? Should I take 2 more capsules? ## I have also the same problem. Please give me a solution. ## Hello Jove, I am having a hard time understanding what you are asking here. Dueton itself contains a combination of hormones, which can be used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. Dueton can be taken regularly or by taking them in a high doses within the first 5 days of unprotected intercourse. The problem here is that Dueton is a contraceptive and not an capable of ending a pregnancy that already exists. If I am to understand your message you are already 5 weeks pregnant. There are medications such as Misoprostol that you can take but in most countries it requires a d...

I am 24 weeks running pregnancy due to common cold itook nimsulide tablet once..will its going to be effect my baby I am too much worry now please help ## Hello, Liani! How are you? During pregnancy, it is always best to never take any medication, without first checking with your doctor. This one should not be taken during pregnancy, according to the U.S. FDA as it may cause some problems. However, if you only took it once, things will most likely be fine, but you should make sure to inform your doctor, just in case. Have you taken any other medications? ## Hi, I hope you are safe. Was there any problem to the baby when you took the Nimesulide in pregnancy? Plz help me by replying. I m in similar situation.
