Info on a cough syrup called REM.It was manufactured, I believe by Maryland Pharmaceutical around the 1940's. I think it had a blue bottle with a orange circle with the name REM printed on it ## I'm sorry, but I can't find any information on this, which really isn't very surprising for that old of a product. There were also many differences back then for what were considered pharmaceutical products. Does anyone have information on this? ## my mother use to give to to us in the early 60's. ## I used it in the 1980s and it worked well. I don't tolerate the chemical ones. I remember REM had ipecac, lobelia, squills and other things...I just remember those because ipecac was used as an emetic and when I looked up lobelia and squills they were listed in an herbal book...

Hi. I started using trigestrel in January and for the past 2 months when I got to the placebo pills I would have withdrawal bleeding but it was lighter than my usual period (which I've always had quite a light period). I've just finished my third pack now but decided not to take the placebo pills as they contain no hormones and I thought they wouldn't affect anything. my problem now is that I've only just had very light brownish discharge and no real bleeding and would like to find out if I could possibly be pregnant. I take my pills at the same time every night and have never skipped. I've also experienced serious side effects such as dizziness,nausea and tender breasts and have assumed it was the pill because it started when I started the pill. I know a pregnancy t...

I have five herniated discs in my spine and I've been suffering from agonizing pain. Every time I try to take something for the pain, it flares up my IBS, causing me severe diarrhea and nausea. The doctors dismiss me when I tell them about my problem. Is there anyone out there who could recommend a pain medication that is gentle on the stomach? Thanks in advance. ## Hello, Ronnie! How are you? I don't know of any gentle pain medications, there is a chance of all of them causing side effects, especially opiates, and they may include nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth, in addition to what you've mentioned. Ref: Safe Opiate Use However, there are things you can do to try to mitigate the side effects, such as making sure not to take them on an empty stomach. Have you tried any dia...

Could I give my child Scopex 10mg (1 tablet) for cramps? She is 3 years old. ## You should definitely run this by their pediatrician, but likely not. The active ingredient in this medication is Hyoscine, also known as Scopolamine. I was reading a leaflet on Scopex and it states "Due to the risk of provoking hyperpyrexia it should not be given to patients, especially children where the ambient temperature is high." It also says "Use with caution in children, geriatric patients, patients with diarrhoea, fever, and in conditions characterised by tachycardia". Source ## Hello, Lee! How is your daughter? Please do not give her any medication without her doctor's approval. It is very, very easy to overdose a child to the point of fatal toxicity. Additionally, there are man...

Can I also use it for menstruation cramps? ## It is listed as containing Hyoscine, so it is not likely that it will help with menstrual cramps. The NIH warns that it may cause nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and headache as side effects. What else have you tried for your cramps? Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? ## My dr prescribed me Scopex for my period cramps, I have endometriosis as well, with the scopex he also prescribed exinef, I also have a stomch ulcer, which my gp is aware of, and the brochure inside the exinef says to not use it when you have a ulcer... He refuses to put me back on Tramacet/tramadol, which actually took away my pain almost instantly for hours, where I would literally use only 1 once every 24hrs depending on the pain, but the med...

Oval shaped white pill, average size. One side reads '4', and the other side reads 'ON' or 'NO' depending on how you look at it - they are not scored ## This sounds like generic zofran 4 mgs. - used for nausea post surgery or during Chemo. Ondansetron or something close to that is the generic name. This one is made by amerigen. ## The information provided by Lesleu is correct. This tablet contains 4mgs of Ondansetron (NDC 67877-0169 ).

I'm trying to get pregnant and im wondering if taking primolut will still allow me to be able to conceive? ## Hi, Shenella! How are you? Has your doctor told you to take it?

Is it too early to know that the meds is working or not? Are there any other medication similar as Dormonoct 2mg that I can use? Are there any change for weight gain with these meds - I've struggles to loose weight and don't want to gain it again just for meds that doesn't work! Oh, what is the generic of Dormonoct (asking due to the price) ## Hello, Wilma! How are you?

I took this drug in the 1970's while pregnant. Am looking for the side effects to the babies. Drug has been off the market for many years. Not sure on correct spelling. Used for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Thank you for any help you can send me. Sincerely, Dana. ## Dana, The drug Bendictine you are referring to was reported to cause birth defects in some cases. But a similar drug is prescribed today and it's called Diclectin. Funny how some people will say to stay away from something while others say it's perfectly safe. I think it's a matter of speaking to at least several physicians and following your intuition, as far as what feels right for you and who you trust. The drug Diclectin is a combination of Doxylamine (an antihistamine) and Vitamin B6. A good res...

How long is this med good to take? At what point does it begin to lose its efficacy? ## Hello, Terry! How are you? If it is in a bottle as dispensed by your pharmacy, then the expiration date is one year from when it was filled for you, because that bottle can leave it exposed to the elements that cause degradation, so it begins to lose efficacy after that year. If it is in the original factory sealed container, then they are usually good for 4 to 5 years, until the seal is broken. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a bottle of bactrim 800.....I take it for MRSA break out....it's from 2013, I've had a break out and need it quickly, new Dr ...

The pills are kinda faded like they got wet or rubbed up against something but I'm trying to figure out what it is bc someone took it by mistake bc it looks a lot alike their other medication. The pill is round and yellow. One one side of the pill I can't tell if it has any marking but it doesn't look like it and on the other side there's a score down the middle and center so it creates a cross with four pizza type shapes with the numbers (if they're the right ones bc he pills r worn) 0 in the first top left spot (or o), 2 in the top right space, another 2 in the bottom left space under the 0 and a 1 (or possibly 7) in the bottom righ spot u see the 2????? If u can pls lmk what kind of pill this is its be greatly appreciated bc as I said someone took it by mistake!!!...

Hi, my period was to be on the 11th of June. It's delayed so I consulted my doctor and she prescribed me Crina Ncr 10mg for 5 days. I've take it twice a day. My query is when will my period happen, after the completion of my regimen or before while taking tablet? Please help me on this. ## Hello, Harshitha! How are you? If it works to resolve your issue you should start within 3 days of finishing them. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms.

I want to know the exact time to take mosegor vita for me to be guided accordingly ## There is not specific time it must be taken, you should follow whatever instructions your doctor or pharmacist has provided. It may cause nausea, due to its potency, so it is often best taken with food. Are you on any other medications? Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions? ## Gud morning can i ask what time to take this mosegor vita? ## Only losartan 50mg for high blood pressure.

I have been on the pill for over a year now and I always have a tendency to forget to take them over the weekend, so this past weekend I forgot to take Friday Saturday Sunday and today being Monday. I took them all today even though I know that I probably should have just taken only two, but anyway, that's besides the point. Usually when I miss two pills in a row I would get my period the following day. I have not yet gotten my period after missing three days. Should I be worried? What should I do? Help! ## Hello, Angie! How are you? Did you have intercourse on any of the days you skipped pills, or in the week after starting back up? If so, yes, there is a risk that you're pregnant. If you did not, then not starting is most likely due to taking so many at once and throwing off y...

I missed my last blue pill yesterday and went to double up today but I'm supposed to take the white pill today. What pill do I take, or do I take both? ## This happened to me today! What did you end up doing? I believe it would be safe to take the blue and white together since they are nearly identical, chemically. I plan on doing just that, if you found a better option key me know! Lol ## You should do as your doctor, or the manufacturer instruct, which I believe in most cases is to double up. The FDA warns that oral contraceptives may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, mood changes, weight changes, and irregular bleeding.

Can Artribion cause liver damage? ## I would like to know if Artibion attacks the liver, because I've been taking this medicine for 5 months. ## Hello, AC! How are you? The FDA classifies this as a multivitamin supplement, not an actual medication. It should be safe, as long as your doctor approves of you taking it and you don't exceeded the recommended dosing. Some nutrients can be dangerous, if you take too much. The only known side effect I'm aware of is possible nausea. ## What is a safe arthritis med? ## Does Artribion affect the liver or any other part of the body? ## Is it a controlled substance?
