I use albuteral inhaler PRN and was tested at tx and it showed a faint line for meth. Can it be the inhaler? I've only taken tums, ibuprofen, bendryl and melanoma. Why is it showing as if I failed the test but never used meth. Can the drugs above alter results on drug test! Could it be a bad test as I bought a home kit and all was negative.

how do you treat it? I know it's treatable with antibiotics and antacids like omeprazole, but it didn't work for me. ## Hello, Glenn! How are you? How do you know it didn't work? Have you actually been tested for it, again, or are you just still feeling symptoms? It is highly possible that the bacteria was eradicated and you just need a longer course of an antacid to let things heal. And do you watch what you eat, so you stay away from anything spicy or acidic? Do you avoid alcohol?

Do I have to give this to my mom before food or an antacid pill? ## Hello, Robert! How are you? This medication should be taken by itself a half hour to an hour, before eating. Proteins in food and the antacid pill may affect the absorption of it. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

Pill size of pinky finger nail. Round. Only a W on one side. Dark green ## I found several of the same pills. Could be a M instead of W. Looks like Mylan Lab logo. ## Hello, Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm finding is Mylanta (240mg); which is an antacid used to treat symptoms of indigestion and GERD. NOTE: The imprint appears to be an upper case "M" embedded on one side and blank on the other. It's also darker green in color with what looks like some sort of glossy/enteric coated finish. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Mylanta Details Please post back if you think this sounds like it could be a possible match. I hope this helps!

Is it ok to take somprass 40 mg every week once ## Sompraz contains the active ingredient Esomeprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, ulcers, GERD and gastritis. Learn more Sompraz details here. However, it is normally taken daily for a period of time to treat these conditions, I'm not sure that taking it once a week is really going to do much, since that means that there is only one day that it will have an effect on anything. Were you told to use it that way? ## No I m not told to take it once a week but I get heart burn once a week or so and I take somprass 40mg and feel good can I continue taking it that way? ## I am suffered from sever mouth infection.

My mother is taking glucobay m 50+tribet 2 from last 1 and half year her blood sugar level is 120-129 before eating, doctor says that u have to take this tablets for lifetime. is it true or not? My mother also has little indigestion problem.SHE IS 48 years old. ## That's not necessarily true, some people have successfully been able to control their diabetes by using proper diet and exercise, but it has to be a very strict plan that the person maintains all the time. Learn more Daibetes details here. In reality, that isn't practical for most people, so continuing the medications as directed by her doctor is probably the best idea. Are there any other questions or comments? ## please do take medicine regularly it is both "a disease and life time change no amount of exercise fo...

I am taking ganaton total prescribed by Gastrologist for the treatment of heart burn and GERD since last five weeks. While heartburn and GERD is totally under control on medication, there is little swelling on face and overall body. Please let us know whether it could be a side effect of ganaton total or something else.

My son was taking prilosec and Allegra prescribed by the same dr. He was overdosed. It caused him to seize and they had to run test on him afterwards . his regular dr said they were giving him too much. This was about3 years ago. Now I was prescribed it by my dr. When I take it regularly my feet and ankles hurt like crazy. But the back pain is so much worse. After being off of it for awhile my back and ankles completely stop hurting at all. Now I remember my son always complained about his back and ankles killing him all the time. It was the medicine. He was only 13 at the time. And the drs are like he is fine. Its probably growing pains. But I know it wasn't its doing the same thing to me. And it also made my acid sooo much worse now. I actually throw up stomach acid now. I am so m...

Is 40 mg of omeprazole SA equivalent to 20 mg of nexium? ## Hello, Norman! How are you? Actually no, these are equivalent medications, so 20mgs of one is the same as 20mgs of the other. Has your doctor told you to switch to 40mgs of the Omeprazole?

I've taken Omeprazole from both Dr. Reddy's and Sandoz. Dr. Reddy's works much better for me. If it's the difference in inactive ingredients used, then, in my experience that makes a big difference. ## Inactive ingredients do usually make a significant difference in the overall efficacy of these medications. Certain binders/fillers which may or may not be present in each brand, are detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Due to the sensitive nature of the matter, I'm frustratingly surprised that doctor's and pharmacists don't take any time out to mention this to their patients after giving them a completely different script without any prior consent. A humorous analogy I came up with is that it's like paying for ice cream and get...

I was taking omeprazole that was a 2-toned green color marked "mylan 6150; my prescription was refilled with a pink end marked APO on one end and 020 on the other end. Why was it changed? ## Hello, From what I can gather, the pill you have been given is simply a delayed release version of Omeprazole 20mg. Delayed release basically means that the medication stays in your system longer. I can't tell you why you were switched to this version however, so I would definitely discuss that with your doctor if it concerns you. I hope this info helps! :) ## THE PINK OMEPRAZOLE 20MG IS NOT ANY GOOD,THEY DO NOT HELP ME AT ALL..They changed this med because its cheaper for them to buy. ## Most of the time a color change comes with a manufacturer change. Once a medication has come off the sec...
