Where can I purchase Novalgina in liquid form. I bought some in Italy and it gets rid of a bad migraine in just a few minutes. I cant get any in Australia as no one seems to know what it is in a pharmacy. ## I have no way of knowing if it's available for you, but I can tell you the active ingredient, so you can check with a doctor or pharmacist. Novalgina contains the active ingredient Metamizole, which is used as a powerful analgesic and antipyretic. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother has been on depakote 500mg tablet (1 every night) and quitipin 50mg ( 1 every nght) for 2 years now. She is constantly worried though not panicked. She talks to her self sometimes more than other times and hears voices constantly. Most of the time she is upset with the voices and other times she is peaceful with them. What are these medications for and how do they work in tandem with each other. Also any idea what it is my mother is suffering from, cause no one tells me.

for migraine headaches ## I suffered from migraine headaches for many years and the only prescription medicine that worked for me was Relpax 40mg. Ask your doctor if you can take this pill. It's very expensive and there's no generic equivalent. If you don't have health insurance expect to pay about $30.00 per pill. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and after my co-pay I pay about $3.00 per pill. But trust me. it works! I have recently started on Ginkgo biloba 120mg and Omega 3 fish oil 1000mg, one of each twice a day. I've taken this combination for about 6 months and so far no migraines. I got this remedy from an old migraine sufferer and at first I did not think it was going to help, but so far so good. I do keep a supply of Relpax handy just in case but they are getting o...

I have found several white, thicker pills with the markings of L430 could be an OTC drug or generic. The pills were not in a bottle and are blank on the back ## You are correct, tablets marked with an L, followed by 3 additional numbers are over the counter products. This one is a generic, or store brand of Excedrin Migraine and contains 250mgs of Acetaminophen, 250mgs of Aspirin and 65mgs of Caffeine. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help with?

This was a great medication for migraines. Have had trouble getting it filled lately. ## I had a lot of success with epidren when taking at the onset of a migraine. Why did epidren get taken off the market? Epidren was cheaper than the rest of the migraine meds and it worked for me. ## Try to get a prescription and order it from Pharmawest Pharmacy in Canada. I did this for my Armor Thyroid when they changed the formula and found the original formular cheaper in Canada. Pharmawest was the lowest of all. I am sure you can still find it in Canada.

Is it safe to take these 4 meds together? Depakote ER, two 500mg twice daily Effexor XR, one 75mg one in morn Doxepin Cap, one 25mg at bedtime Temazepam Cap, three 15mg at bed time My son is 26 yrs old and 160lbs, he is feeling lethargic, throws up occasionally, and has upset stomach most of the time. ## Why is he on such a high dose of the Temazepam? Usually, the maximum daily dosage of it is 30mgs and it's split into divided doses throughout the day. And yes, as to all of them, there can be additive effects to using them together, so that could explain his elthargy and nausea. Has he contacted his doctor? He may require some dosage adjustments.

Migrain pain of my wife, age 33 yrs. since last 5 yrs. Related with period time. ## Many women do experience headaches or migraines around the time of their menstrual cycle, due to the hormon fluctuations, especially if they take hormonal contraceptives. The only things I can find under Nutrilite or any similar names are nutritional supplements and those would only really help if here problem was caused by a deficiency in some vital nutrient. However, if it is related to hormonal fluctuations, they will likely not do much to help her. Has her doctor advise her to use them?

My grandfather was a Doctor back in the day, and I am trying to identify all of the antique drugs to see which may be rare and worth money and such, any way, like i said in the title, i have a good number of these pills, unmarked, simply a round white pill, and on both sides, an S' inside of a triangle. Now keep in mind these are antique so chances are whatever it is may n ot be around any more or is very different looking...thanks for your help! ## I believe that it is Fiorinal made by Sandoz pharmaceuticals in Hanover NJ. I am currently going through our university's historic medical collection and discovered the same pills in a bottle with this information.

only pizotifen ## Pizotifen is a Benzocycloheptane based drug that is mainly used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. The most common side effects can include: drowsiness, weight gain, increased appetite and sedation.

I was wondering if anyone taking this medication has suffered any memory loss? ## Yes! I suffer from severe memory loss.
