The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

Were you aware of that.?

Hi. I developed some warts on my private parts and I have being using a wart remover and it's burning terribly but the warts keep on returning. Please advise me as to how I should go about proper treatment? ## You will need to consult a doctor for proper removal, but you should be aware that the NIH lists genital warts as having no cure, so they could always return, and there is always a risk of your passing them on to a partner. What type of wart remover have you been using? The burning could occur, if it is not intended to be used on the genital area, according to U.S. FDA reports. Are you on any other medications? Has your doctor actually diagnosed genital warts?

Why does my Rx from Walgreens for Cipro have a mix of cr500 pills and other pills with a P on one side & 500 on the other side in the same bottle? ## Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several different companies, so it is most probable that your pharmacy didn't have enough to completely fill your prescription from one manufacturer, so they had to finish filling it with one from a different company. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is an M357 pill penicillin or back pain medicine?

It is an opiate pain reliever. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, constipation, and headache.

I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a uti, but I don't have the money for the medication right now. However I do currently have 3 ip 272 tablets - will just taking those 3 cure it? ## No, you need to take a full course of treatment to fully eradicate the bacteria. Have you informed your doctor?

Usual dose on package says adult can take 2 nyquil tablets. ## Hello, Barbie! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. However, can you please double check what you're taking? Amoxicillin does not treat pain and does not contain Acetaminophen. It is an antibiotic that is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. I'm sorry, but I'm unable to answer your question without knowing for sure what medication you are on.

I'm having to switch from minocycline to amox/clav for a skin infection. I've heard that minocycline can reduce the effectiveness of amox/clav. How long do you have to wait after taking minocycline to start amox/clav? ## That interaction is a risk when they are taken together, according to NIH reports. Thus, just switching out from one to the other, at the next dosing time, should be fine, unless your pharmacist instructs otherwise. The FDA lists the typical side effects of most antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

Its oblong light orange no imprints or markings on it....?? ## Hi Joseph, I don't know if this is what you have, but CVS reportedly carries a prenatal multivitamin that fits the description of a light orange oval shaped tablet with no imprints or markings. The only problem is, there may be lots of different orange oval tablets with no markings that aren't necessarily being accounted for online (i.e. dietary supplements, pre/post workout pills, foreign pills, counterfeits, illicit drugs, etc). This means that in order to separate yours from the rest of the crowd, you may have to look into getting its contents analyzed by a lab for verification. Does anyone else recognize this as potentially being something other than a multivitamin? ## Ciproks 500 Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride manu...

I have an abscess in my anal region. I was prescribed Clindamycin and this is my fourth day taking it 3 times a day. I had a small swallow and now it has become big and painful. I was wondering if this medicine works and if so, how long it takes because everyday the pain is going up. ## Hello, Ronaldo! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Generally, if an antibiotic is working, you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days and no worsening after taking it for a full 24 hours, thus, you should likely return to your doctor as this might not be the right medication to help you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I...

I have some sort of infection on my left elbow. I have been on bactrim for 36 hours and the redness and swelling have went 4 to 6 inches further than it was. How long will bactrim take to decrease the swelling and redness? ## The general rule for antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking them for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement after taking them for a full 72 hours, according to NIH reports. Thus, if this is continuing, you should return to your doctor, as you may need to try a different antibiotic. The FDA lists the typical side effects of most antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Has there been any change?

Began taking a pill last night of sulfamethoxazole/tmp for cellulitis. Wanted to take it this morning by 8 am. To stay on schedule. But just ate some grapefruit for breakfast. I didn't notice instructions not to eat grapefruit. At what time should I now take my medicine? How long should I wait? ## Grapefruit may slightly reduce the efficacy of your next dosage, but it doesn't cause aNY seriously dangerous interactionS, thus it is usually best to continue with your dosing schedule and just avoid grapefruit for the rest of the duration you that are taking it. You should always double check with your doctor, of course, but in most cases, there is no serious concern.
