Hello Everybody! For past 3 years, I've been sad more days then happy! At 19 yrs old, I was walking across the street and was hit by a van! They put a plate and 13 screws in my pelvic area so I could walk again. What I didn't realize is...16 years later I couldn't stand, sit bend or lay in bed for long hrs "MAJOR CHRONIC PAIN"! (in the mean time I've had 7 other surgeries for different reasons) I'm a DOER, I've never been one to sit around. Therefore, my pain interferes with my whole life!

I'm not looking for an answer, THERE ISN"T ONE! I'm just finally sharing my story...

im currentley takein 2 in the morning and 2 at 3pm is this ok and am i doin my body any damage by takeing these tablets ? ## Efrogen (Ephedrine) is currently banned in the US (for use in dietary supplements) as of 2006, because the FDA did not approve of certain dosing that they believed to be harmful. Personally I think Ephedrine would do more harm than good in terms of weight loss; simply because I am all for natural alternatives to getting the results you are looking for. I feel that any supplement, (especially one that has been banned for one reason or another) would hinder the body's normal way of dealing with weight loss, and sully rely on drugs to get the job done. Ephedrine is available outside the US, and in non-dietary supplements. So if you are willing to take a risk just...

Grilinctus contains bromhexine hydrochloride and terbutaline, it is most commonly used to treat allergies. An overdose could result in depression of the central nervous system, which could cause a person to stop breathing and, if proper treatment is not received, it could be fatal. How is he doing?

Does anyone know how to take ethergen pills , ie how many a day , what time of day ? ## These are Ephedrine tablets. This product has been banned in the U.S. due to the very serious health risks that it causes. It had led to severe organ damage, mainly to the heart, for many people that have used it.

My husband had been on Azmacort since 1987. His condition before Azmacort was guarded at best. With Azmacort, he was able to live an active life traveling world-wide space available (22 year AF retiree). When we moved away from our Dr. to a retirement center, the new Dr. we found immediately tried to put him on any or all of the Hollywood drugs but we refused. In June, our mail-order pharmacy told us it is no longer being manufactured. We were forced to experiment with Advair, Duoneb-Combivent, Symbicort, etc and he has been in steady decline in health with more episodes requiring prednisone (very hard on him) and antibiotics. We are using Mucinex daily, pocket inhaler of Proventil in multiple puffs and multiple treatments. Today I was going to try to get Azmacort online when I learned ...

I am not sure if they contain Ephedrine, which was banned, or if they use something different. They are only listed as having been used for weight loss. Does anyone know more about these?

can ephedrine come in brown powder capsules with no logo or name?Would it typically be brown with reddish bits? many thanks ## It is possible, depending on where it was obtained, other countries do not have the same regulations as the US regarding imprints. I have never seen any, so I cannot tell you if this meets any description of it, or not. It can also vary, depending on the companies formulation, so they all might not look the same. Do you know where it was obtained? ## hi all if anyone is after ephedrine feel free to drop me a email i will post anywhere in the uk signed for.

I have been on Azmacort for 17 years along with Serevent disc. I have breathed free for this whole time minus when I had a cold. I have not used my rescue inhaler in years. Since I have been off the Azmacort and trying other meds I have been miserable. I use ny rescue inhaler 6-8 times a day. Asmanex gave me headaches, Pulmicort was terrible and Advair didn't work either. We have a huge deductable so everytime I try another inhaler, it comes out of pocket. I have also tried Singulair and Zyrtec, but I was so tired I couldn't function. I want Azmacort back. My Asthma was under control for all these years and now I am struggling daily. I wil definitely call the company.
