Nausea & Vomiting Forums (Page 79)

I was prescribed betahistine hydrochloride to treat recurring vertigo. Another doctor prescribed betahistine mesilate for the same reason. I would like to know the difference between the two. Thank you! ## They are the same medication, the Hydrochloride and Mesylate just refer to the specific chemical salt that they are derived from, which can just vary according to the manufacturing process. Side effects may include: mild nausea, loss of appetite and headache. Learn more: Are there any other questions? ## Betahistine mesilate is different from betahistine mesilate as here mesilate makes the difference... Due to mesilate(salt) there is higher drug solubility and bioavailability.. Also this salt combination with active ingredient betahistine provides 500 pico gm/ml wich is 5 times more a...

Took this medication and made me throw up bad and gave me body aches and gave me rash I got for cellulitis for my arm I stopped taking it because it scared me. I am taking amox/clav by itself now and feel better. ## Hello, Diana! How are you? Yes, those sulfur based medications can cause bad side effects and allergic reactions in some people that take it. I had a bad experience with it myself. The FDA lists the typical side effects for the Amox/Clav as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has your cellulitis improved?

White sguare pill with an A on one side nothing on the other side what is it? ## Hello, Sunshine! How are you? Does it also have a mint or cinnamon scent to it? I believe that what you've found is an Altoid Small. It's a type of mint and the smalls are all square with the A on them. They're quite potent and may burn your mouth, or cause nausea in some people.

Cannot find anything anywhere identifying this. the nl is like squashed together, like the bottom of the L is coming off the N ...NL if that makse sense. what is it? ## Hello, Kate! How are you? I'm sorry, but so far, I've been unable to find anything that matches this description. That logo leads me to suspect that it may be something available over the counter. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I have some. They're Motilium generic/Domperidone 10mg (hence the D10 on one side). They are available over the counter in some countries. I do not know what the NL on the other side means.

my husband is dealing with reoccurring bouts of vertigo, and the only medication that seems to help was prescribed when we lived in Canada: novo benehistine. Is this medication available in the U.S.? I can't seem to find it. ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? First, I want to let you know that the U.S. does not distribute and name medications like Canada does, so anytime you are looking for something here, leave off the Novo, Apo, or etc. Those denote the manufacturers, but aren't part of the drug names here. And no, it is not available here on the regular market. However, if you speak to a doctor about it, they can prescribe it and it can be made for him by a compounding pharmacy. The FDA lists the typical side effects for tis medication as possibly including headache, nausea, heart...

What is doxycycl hyc 100mg used for. Was tic bit a couple weeks ago, running low fever later in after noon. Will this work for spotted fever? ## Hello, Sam 54! How are you? The FDA classifies this as an antibiotic, so it can be used to treat or prevent various types of bacterial infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, you should not try to diagnose and treat yourself. You need to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis and for them to prescribe the correct treatment, if one is required. If you're guessing at the wrong illness and take the wrong medication, you make things worse for yourself by letting it get really out of control. Taking an antibiotic, if it isn't needed, could also cause...

I started taking this because of cellulitis. I have completed a full day of medication. I have a low grade fever and slight body aches. Is that normal? ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, the infection will typically still be affecting you, after such a short period of time, as well as the side effects from the antibiotic. The general rule, if the antibiotic is working, is that you shouldn't see any worsening of your condition after a full 24 hours of taking it and then you should start to see improvement after 3 full days. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I think I took two tablets tonight. Should I contact my dr. ## Hello, Sue! How are you? It's always best to double check such things, but this is just an antibiotic, so you can't really overdose on it. However, as listed by the FDA, you may experience more side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Will get in trouble for not knowing that I was breaking the law about getting pain from two different doctors ## It's possible, since that is considered doctor hopping and falls under fraud statutes. Was it a narcotic? The FDA warns they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. Yes, those can be side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA.

My Dr. says this is a narcotic and will only fill once a month. I'M 70 yrs old never n my life have I had to do this. ## Hello, Helen! How are you? It's not a narcotic, but it's a benzodiazepine, which is another controlled substance. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. That is normal, now, for all controlled substances. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is there any pain meds a person can take, where a doctor will issue 90 days? I use mail order so it's much cheaper but they only do 90 days.

I was arrested for a DUI due to benzos. I was measured at 11 ng/ml with metabolite. They also listed many benzos that I don't take. What is the legal cut off to not be driving in CA ## Hello, Suzi! How are you? I'm sorry about what happened. However, when it comes to medications, there really ins't a cut-off, per se, it's more based on whether or not the driver seems impaired. That's why they usually carry the warning to not drive, or operate heavy machinery, until you are certain how they affect you. The FDA classifies this as a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

I am on limited funds and have a chance to stock up on Jev 1.5 cal nutrition drink cans, they are my only source of nourishment, how long can I store them at room temperature and still drink safely? ## Until the expiration date on them. Liquids tend to degrade and go bad much faster than other formulations. It would be best to not purchase more than you can use, before the expiration. The FDA classifies this as a medical food and its typical side effects may include nausea, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?
