I took a test at the court the other day that came out positive for methamphetamines. I've never touched it in my life. I do take vitamin D, montelukast, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide, losartan potassium, pravastatin sodium, cyclobenzaprine, and ranitine. Please help me to know which one of those drugs actually came up positive for methamphetamine? ## My name is Janelle and I have been admitted to the hospital for a hernia. In the hospital they gave me morphine and Norco every 3 hours for the pain. They took a urine drug test and it showed positive for methamphetamine and obituaries so they said that I couldn't have the surgery because I was dirty of methamphetamine and I knew I was clean. Is that possible? ## I am 42 years old and have been a methadone patient for over 10 years...

I still have Tornalate lung spray. Are there any warning labels that you can't drive or use machinery while taking the drug. ## It is most commonly used to treat bronchospasms, and other respiratory issues. However, you should not drive, or operate any heavy machinery, until you are sure of how it affects you. The FDA does warn that it may cause dizziness, headache, insomnia, and nervousness as side effects. Has it been prescribed for you?

round white cross ## I was in high school in the 70’s. There was a little round pill white I thought they were called criss cross pills. I was very shy and I took them and liked them. That’s all I remember. ## Yeah lol I remember those! They contained ephedrine. I used to take a similar OTC (mini-thins) like candy when I was younger.

I was taking symbicort to control my asthma. It was working for a while until I started to feel joint pain, a rash on my foot that was always wet and itched a lot. The hair on my feet fell out and my toes was always cold. I also developed a catarac in my righe eye. It became obvious that it was upseting my body chemistry. When I stoped taking it. I had extream withdrawal including shortness of breath, weakness and lost 15 pounds. I saw TV commercials that said it was not for asthma and was for COPD and emphysema. Did I receive the wrong drug for my condition? ## Hello, Danny! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems that you had. Actually, the wording says that is not for the treatment of acute/emergency asthma attacks. It cannot be used as a rescue inhaler, but yes, it is approv...

I've been on xolair for three weeks now. I don't have side effects yet but I'm still waiting for it to help me. I have severe GI angeoadema. I only have less than ten plain foods I'm able to eat. And I get hives all the time it's painful to eat and when I swallow, my face tingles. I get itchy after every meal and my hives get worse. I also get horrific hives on my period. I just want to know if xolair will kick in after the second shot? I don't understand why it hasn't helped. ## I'm having the same problem, Stacey. I finally—FINALLY—got my first injection last Friday, April 24, and I'm still waiting for it to start working. It's frustrating because I had to fight so hard to get the stuff to begin with. My next injection will be the hi...

I had bronchial asthma and went on Symbicort for about five weeks. Started to feel worse and worse. No energy - couldn't stand up at one point. Went to emergency twice. Had very low potassium. Had to supplement. It seems the Symbicort was Depleting my potassium levels. I'm ever felt so bad in my life. Thought I was dying. Didn't even help my inflammation from asthma. ## Since recovering from an allergic reaction to the symbicort I have now come down with shingles. Has anyone ever heard that steroids can bring on shingles? I was also on prednisone. I have been ill for two months now. ## Diana, how are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Yes, this class of medications has been known to cause low potassium levels, in some people that take it. Steroids can also cause a fl...

Please let me know whether this tablet can contnue to be taken for 3 months? ## Any medication, including L-MONTUS (montelukast) should only be taken for the duration that it was prescribed for. Depending on the reasoning behind taking this medication, it can be used to treat seasonal allergies, which may require you to take it for the duration of the allergy symptoms. However, the guidelines for taking this medication note that you should not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. There really is no precise answer to taking it for a period of 3 months, because this duration is determined by your doctor. I hope this info helps to answer your question! ## Doctor has advised to take L Montus for 6 months can i take it for 6 months. if not plz. give r...

i am useing this tab sins 4 month now i have numness in my tongue sins one week ## give the details of both levocetrizine + montelukast side effect ## The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. A numb tongue is not a normal side effect. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? When I was taking them both, I found that I often got chills and would shiver, so I had to stop mixing them.

I have an inhaler of AdVair unopened with an expiration date of 4/2013 Can I still use it? ## Hello, Helene! How are you? Thats a year past the expiration date, so it is most likely no longer effective. It would be best to just dispose of it and pick up a new prescription. Since this just uses a powdered medication that you inhale, it's going to degrade much faster than most other forms would. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks ! ## Its july 2016 nbutut my advair expred 01/16 can i still use it ## I accidentally throw away my new advair and have being using my 5 year expired medicine. Should I be concern about it ## Advair disc still in foil expire 9/15 still good? ## Understanding 1 year post-expiration isn't good, what about 3-6 months?

AsthmaNefrin has kept me alive. It really relieves my asthma with no side effects. I wish the FDA would quit picking on this very effective and safe relief from asthma. ## There may be some hope. An Epinephrine Inhaler called "Prime Asthma Relief" is being marketed by its inventor Dr. James Z. Liu, MD, PhD. He is also working on another product called "EpiMist". An OTC Mist Epinephrine for Asthma. Also, read the many reviews that give his products 5 stars. ## Hi Lois & Gerry. I got an email today saying that EpiMist is now available at the Dr. Natural Healing, Inc. site. A bottle of 250 sprays costs $65 which isn't cheap but at least the shipping is free. I placed an order for one try it out. I tried their Prime Asthma Relief product with just so-so results as th...

my eos is 12 my eos (absolute) is 0.9 units x10E3/uL What does this mean? ## does a 12%Eos pose a problem? ## These are white blood cells that show our immune response, less than 350 cells per mcl is considered normal. Ideally, they should only make up 1 to 4% of your white cell count, so anything higher than that may indicated that you have some active conditions, such as asthma, leukemia, or other issues such as hay fever, or some other type of allergic reaction, according to NIH reports. Has your doctor reached a conclusion as to what's causing your elevation? Are you on any other medications? Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions?

Hi Dr. I am Mayuri Dutta from kolkata. I am just 16 years old. My board exams are too near. And am suffering from breathing problem for about nearly 1 month ago. I dont know what am i suffering from. Doctor said that am not suffering from asthma. Because of my exams i cant go for any ecg or anything like that. Doctor has asked me to have #Deriphyllin .

I am having hereditary chronic asthma. I am 40 and otherwise physically very fit. I attend gym and go on walks, keeping a very good lifestyle, am intelligent and enjoy good conversation, am a hotelier (director of two hotels, manage one of them), unmarried and not interested in marriage. I am on inhalers which have side effects on throat.

She started showing problems with her breathing, as in being short-winded and coughing, somewhere around 5 years ago. ...
