I only want to share my experience with this drug levosulpiride. I have taken this tablet levosulpiride for 5 days in combination with rabicip and my stool became loose, motions increased 3 to 4 time a day and in a whole day i was feeling fatigue and tiredness. So on the 6th day i have stopped this drug and my motion and other problems improved. Now I am feeling better. ## I have taken Levosulpride for 15 days. My doctor prescribed it me for 1 month but I started experiencing a milky discharge from my breast and they have become hard and tender to touch. Is this a sign of breast cancer or just a side effect of the medicine? How long can Levosulpiride be taken? Kindly help me. I'm confused. Thank you.

Any good results on renal kidney cancer. need help on shrinking advanced stage tumors.. now on votrient.. not sure in sutent is better.. anu suggestions ## Have been on Sutent (4yrs). No longer working. Am to start Votrient in 2 wks. I hope it will work. The side effects are hopefully not as bad as the sutent. Going to the bathroom 10 times a day get to be a little much. The bitter taste usually only last 14 out of the 28 days. ## You should take the medication that your doctor feels is best for you. The FDA warns that they may all cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. How are you both doing, now? Are either of you on any other medications?

My husband has an aggressive form of prostate cancer. In 2 years have been through chemo, radiation, lupron, immunotherapy (provenge), zytiga and another one or two that I can't remember. Anyway, the doctor is now talking about xtandi and Radium 223, and perhaps a clinical trial using Taxotere using Ascorbic acid. Side effects from the Xtandi, Radium and Taxotere (which he did 2 yrs ago when diagnosed) are not very pleasant, especially if the results are only for 3-4 months, which is the average before his psa rises and scans show the cancer spreading. Anyone else have an aggressive form of prostate cancer and dealing with treatment that doesn't work for long? ## Dear CeeCee, I'm very sorry to hear about the condition your husband is in.

A TINY WHITE ROUND PILL WITH 57 ON ONE SIDE AND A CANCER AWARENESS SYMBOL ON THE OTHER AND IT EVN LOOKS LIKE A R ## My son showed me a tiny white round pill, with ( I think, so tiny print) 93 on 1 side, 707? on the other. He said he was told it was some type of speeder pill, but he doesn't do that and brought it home for me to identify. I remember white crosses back in the '80s but I don't remember what those looked like so long ago. ## A tablet with the R 57 marking is manufactured by Actavis and they list it as containing 0.5mgs of Lorazepam, which is a generic for Ativan, it is most commonly used to treat anxiety, and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, and h...

My husband has a leg ulcer on his shin. He had surgery in April to clean the wound and was given Bactrazine ointment to use. He is on chemotherapy, called Sutent. We have tried all sorts of creams but we cannot get the ulcer to heal. It has been over a year now. We live in Durban South Africa, can anyone please give us advice and will Terrasil actually work? At the moment we are using IRUXOL Mono ointment. ## Hi Freda, I found your post on the internet. I'm currently battling the same problem. Can you please let me know if Terrasil worked for your husband's leg ulcer? Thank you. ## I was using silver sulfadiazine cream as prescribed by my dr but i ran out. I called and he was on vacation. I searched the internet and found terrasil kind of expensive but when your desperate well y...

Please look up a medication by lot number TMSA15268-A ## LOOKING FOR A MEDICATION WITH LOT # PRO3150. I THINK IT IS DOCETAXEL. ## At this time I don't think there is any way to look up medication via their lot number. For example, Lot # PRO3150 comes up as a Motorola headset/earpiece accessory which is completely unrelated. Lot # TMSA15268-A also yields nothing. Perhaps an easier approach may be to search for Docetaxel (the medication in question) and see if you recognize the specific tablet by imprint or description? Medications can even be searched by their NDC if you happen to have that information on hand. MedsChat has a National Drug Code Database that can be accessed from the home page. Does anyone else have thoughts or suggestions to add? ## Looking for lot 051670. It is half...

I have been on methotrexate for about 8 weeks, 15 mg weekly to treat PA. Just had call from hospital to say my latest blood work has come back with Alt raised from .56 in the last test to 109 on latest test. Do I need to worry? ## Hello, Matty! How are you? There is a chance that it's raised due to liver damage, but more evaluating would be required to know for sure. The FDA lists the other side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry cough and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is a plantar fibroma?

My father has stage 3 kidney cancer which is spread on lungs and liver, he's on votrient for almost 7 months and it was working well, tumor shrank, and all the metastasis on lungs shrank almost 50% after 3 months of therapy. But now after 6 months of therapy they started to grow again. Are there any possibility that his organism developed immunity to votrient after 6 months? Is anyone familiar with possibility of that? We have Sutent as back up medicine but we first wanna check is votrient stoped working or is it because his imunity is lower than before because he had a flu last month for almost 3 weeks. Any experience would be helpful.

I asked on a post several months ago about a surgery called "Whipple". I have read all the info I can conjure up on the internet (there's nothing in the library)...but i still don't feel comfortable about having this procedure done. I am in constant pain (re: douendal flipping) when i make certain body movements. It is a very rare disease and it's causing excruciating pain. I have been told the surgery will last from 5 to 11 hours. Any feedback is welcome whether it's positive or negative. I just need advise asap please. ## Whipple surgery is most commonly used to treat pancreatic cancer that affects the head of the pancreas, though it can also be used to treat some other conditions, as well. According to NIH information, the surgery basically removes certain par...

I have been on xalkori for about a year now; diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that mets to the pancreas. Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with really bad acid reflux... wondering if anyone else taking Xalkori has experienced this. ## I have been on Xalkori for 8 months and i have sometimes experienced acid reflux as well, my doctor said he wasn't sure Xalkori could be blamed for that. I have noticed that the reflux mainly happens when I have a heavy meal for dinner. So what i do now is that i drink a glass of water with a little baking soda before going to bed and it seems to work well against the acidity in the stomach. Moreover, I put an extra pillow under my head and it's much better like this. I think that a light dinner can partly solve the proble...

Yep, Mary Jane is just a memory. A flashback to high school. By the time I married, Mary Jane took a back seat to my new life. Marrriage, baby, no room for her and no desire. NOW.... Well, I just may be looking for her. Oh, I had no idea about her medicinal qualities. But now I do. Brother with cancer has re-introduced me to maryjane. Not as my habitual companion. But she just may have something I need. Never thought I'd be looking in her direction for help, but here I am. Hat in hand. Problem is, her THC. Mimics my stroke sensations. Loss of balance, visual disturbance. Can't deal with that, but her other contributions may be somewhat useful to me. THC, I've heard is useful for neuralgia, tremors, ataxia, all leftovers of my stroke. How do I get the benefit, without the sen...

My mom received 2 doses of kadcyla. However her bilirubin count shot up to 2.98 & is unable to continue the treatment. Can u help? ## From what I've read, bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile (a fluid made by the liver). Apparently, it is normal to have some bilirubin in your blood. However, normal levels are reportedly in the range of 0.3 to 1.9 mg/dL The article below discusses various tests that are done to measure the amount of bilirubin in the blood (and what it means to have high levels of it): nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003479.htm In some patients, different types of cancer medication (such as kadcyla) could just end up doing more harm than good. So I would probably look at it as a good thing and not get discouraged by the discontinuation of the drug. ...
