My grandmother, mother, and myself have used Save The Baby on our children's as a warm chest rub. I would put a T-shirt on them. I have also rubbed it on my husband's and my chest over our lung area front and back then wore a T-shirt to bed. No matter how sick with a cold or congestion we were, we would sleep through the night. What was really great about this chest rub is that it never got you cold. I have used Vick Vapor Rub and it makes your chest cold. Four generations of my family have used Save The Baby Vapor Rub and now that I have grandchildren and greatgrandchildren;one of which has croupey nights, I have searched many Pharmacies around and have been unable to find any. Would it be possible to order it from LEE'S Save the Baby vapor rub? ## Hello, Curly! How are you...

To use run the bottle under warm water and shake to mix. Applythe warm liquid tothe child's chest and under nose to relieve symptoms of croupe. Instead of placing a drop under the nose you can also place it on a pillowcase or sheet. ## It was made by the Lee's company and yes, it is patent protected.

Camphor is now only approved to be used topically. As to the other ingredients, I am sorry, I have been unable to discover that. Does anyone else know anything about this?...

I was given an oral swab drug test & came back positive for methamphetamine & opiates. I recently was in the hospital for 2 months & was given cyclosporine, sandimmune, hydromorphone, benadryl, hydrocodone, oxycodone, gabapentin, naproxen & adarax. I know that the oxycodone, hydrocodone & hydromorphone will cause a positive opiates test. I've never touched methamphetamines. I was told that smoking menthol cigarettes can cause a positive methamphetamine drug test. I have been smoking menthol cigarettes for 6 years. So is this true of the menthol cigarettes? Please help.

Does Chondritin contain any steriod? Does Real Time Pain Relief contain any type of steriod? ## Hello, Maya! How are you?

specific uses of rowatinex in the kidneys and its side effects ## Rowatinex is a natural supplement that is claimed to help dissolve and prevent reformation of kidney stones. However, since it is a natural supplement, it is not actually proven to do anything. The ingredients are listed as: Pinene 17mg, Camphene 5mg, Cineol B.P. 2mg, Menthone 6mg, Menthol BP 32mg, Borneol 5mg and Olive Oil BP 33mgs. As a natural product, the side effect profile for it has not been studied, as is done for prescription drugs, so I have no information on that to give you. You can learn more about kidney stones and genuine treatment options here: Are there any comments or questions?

round,green,PAR022,menthol,pill ## THIS IS NOT KLONOPIN, NEITHER A GENERIC OR NAME BRAND!! It is NOT any type of Benzodiazepine. Pill Image This pill IS Isosorbide Dinatrate 20mgs, it is a kind of Vasodilator that relaxes the blood vessels to the heart and is most often used to relieve the pain experience by Angina sufferers. So not even close to Klonopin.
