Can I take the RP 30 (Oxycodone 30 mg) tablet and wait like 2 hours and take the Pliva 441 (Trazodone 150 mg)? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), taking oxycodone with trazodone is usually not recommend and may result in problems with your blood pressure, body temperature, muscles, and thinking. They also go on to list weakness, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, fever, or trouble moving your arms & legs as possible side effects. If you are required to take these two meds, your doctor can always change the dosage and/or how frequently you take one or both meds to help mitigate any possible risk factors. As to how long you should wait in between doses, this is something only your prescribing doctor should give advice on at their d...

Hi, I had marijuana over a 3 day period then got selected for a random drug test at work 3 days after I did that. I also have a valid script for oxycodone, so that doesn't worry me. They did an 8 panel test, and she said it was getting sent for further testing. I know I failed the opiates, like I said I'm not worried about that. I can provide a valid prescription. I came home the next day and took an at home thc drug test and it came back negative. Does anyone think I still could have failed? ## There's a cut off level if it's low enough it would be labeled a negative for the bud. ## I learned from a lab supervisor that these cut off levels on a SAMHSA or NIDA drug test the cut off levels for a simple positive THC and metabolite test is 50ng/kg. A WADA drug test assumes ...

A patient's urine drug screen showed positive for norfentanyl. The patient is highly allergic to fentanyl.

I was given this drug in Mexico after a serious accident. What is the difference in this drug and ordinary Tramadol? My physician in the states has prescribed regular Tramadol for pain of arthritis and fibromyalgia. ## The medication from Mexico contained both Ketorolac and Tramadol. Ketorolac is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Tramadol is a relatively mild opiate narcotic that is just used to treat pain. Putting an NSAID, with the Narcotic tends to enhance the analgesic effects. As similar medication that is available in the U.S. would be Ultracet, which is also available as a generic, it couples the Tramadol with Acetaminophen. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My back is killing me can I I take diabetic pills and I take high b...

This time of the night I am suffering bad tooth pain,no Doctor nearby,I got only (Enzoflam as a pain killer) Pls. advice. ## This time of the night I am suffering bad tooth pain,no Doctor nearby,I got only (Enzoflam as apain killer) Pls. advice. ## While the dosage may vary, this medication is listed as containing Diceclofenac, Paracetamol, and Serratiopeptidase, so it may help with tooth pain, but you should follow your doctor or dentist's prescribing instructions. The NIH warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and increased risk of bleeding. However, it is still important to see your dentist and have the underlying cause of the dental pain correct, otherwise, it will keep returning. How often do you experience tooth aches?

Still trying to figure this out. I'm worried ## McKesson lists this tablet as containing 100mgs of Ibuprofen in a chewable formulation. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Blood or Urine? ## Well I was not able to give my friend a definitive answer ## I have hepatitis my urine came up invailid they said " its ivailid because of the creatine levels" I talked to a holistic doctor who told me that having hepatitis will throw off your creatine levels...

I am seeing a pain management doctor right now she has me on 15 milligrams of oxycontin the extended relief. I called her and told her that it was not working and she said the next time I come in maybe that she would up the dosage. I've been experiencing headaches major mood swings. One minute I'm happy the next minute I'm crying and then the next minute I'm a raging lunatic. I I want to be on something that is long lasting, I've already been the Norco in the percocet route. Those were not strong enough for me. Is there anything that I can ask the doctor about that is longer lasting? That is also not extended release, and will last longer to make my pain stay away longer? Thanks for any help. ## Hello, Phylis! How are you? If you want something that lasts longer, an ...

I tested positive for cocaine during a recent swab test for pain management. Never used the drug before in my life. I take oxycodone 5mg, gabapentin 300mg, tizanidine 4mg, amlodipine 10mg, fluoxetine 40mg, dioxepin 20mg, albuterol inhaler, omeprazole 20mg, prenatal vitamin 27, and I got an allergy shot mixed with B12. Could any of these medicines give a false positive read for cocaine? I'm lost. ## Hi I'm queen, it just happened to me too. I've been going to pain management for 3 years and never tested positive for any drugs. Last month they gave me a swab for the first time out of 3 years and come up with this crap that I had cocaine in my system. I have never used any drugs..never smoked weed.. So what the hell is going on with that? How is it possible? I don't underst...

My father is taking Tonact (20mg) And Clopilet A 75 to reduce the level of cholestrol and to prevent from stroke.I heard that Ecosprin AV is a substitute of Tonact and Clopilet A 75.Is it true? ## Ecosprin AV contains the active ingredients Aspirin and Atorvastatin. Learn more Aspirin details here. Learn more Atorvastatin details here. While Clopilet-A contains Clopidogrel and Aspirin to prevent blood clotting. Learn more Clopidogrel details here. Learn more Aspirin details here. And Tonact contains Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol. So, switching to the Ecosprin AV would not be an equivalent, because it doesn't contain the Clopidogrel. Who told you that it was the same? ## I take the medicine Ecosprin 150 and Tonact (20mg) separately. Is it safe for me to take a combination like th...

Lyrica is addictive in the extreme. But true: Lyrica not a narcotic. It is an anti-convulsant with sedative properties and some degree of anti-psychotic effects; it calms the brain but also slows the metabolism, causing weight gain. I was a borderline Anorexic and at first gaining weight was good because I was a size 0 and emaciated. But I barely eat and keep on gaining. I weight more than I ever thought I could, and I keep thinking everyone thinks I'm FAT. If so, they're right: I weigh too much. Docs say I am not "obese" but "just overweight," but I feel obese and it's not good. But that's hardly the worst: Lyrica is, it turns out, as addictive as H. And Lyrica Withdrawal is, as I will demonstrate herein, TRUE AGONY. And true peril. I used up my Lyrica (...

small white round pill with 44 and 397 underneath ## found this pill that needs identified please ## Small round (5/16 inch diameter) light pink pill with number 44397 on it. No score on back side. Needs identification. Was told it is "baby aspirin". I have reason to believe it is not. ## The baby Aspirin listed with this marking is most commonly sold at Rite Aid, and they list it as being pink. It contains 81mgs of Aspirin, which is used by many people for blood thinning, and heart health. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. I do not, however, have any information on a white one.

Had a bad fall 3 months ago. Hit the floor hard on my right knee, hip and shoulder. My right knee was swollen for almost two weeks. Took about a month and half to recover. After two x rays the doctors told me "no bones broken or fracture but soft tisssue injury". Gave me ibuprofen and gastric medication. Recently that is more than 3 months after the fall, i had pain in my right knee. Two weeks ago it became swollen around the knee and i had to limp to move around. Although the swelling has reduce a lot yet it pains when i touch Or move my right leg. Feels like tightness just below the kneecap. ## You might have sprained the knee, but over extending the tendons, ligaments, or both. The NIH warns that this can be a very painful condition and may take 3+ months to heal. My husband ...

Extra Strength Excedrin 250 (Acetaminophen 250mg + Caffeine 65mg). I have it by Assured. It works just like the name brand. ## Spirit Pharmaceutical lists this tablet as containing 250mgs of Aspirin, 250mgs of Acetaminophen, and 65mgs of Caffeine. It is most commonly used to treat migraines. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, nausea, headache, insomnia, and nervousness. Thus it is a generic version that is available over the counter. Is there anything else I can help with?

how long does it take to be weaned off a medtronic pain pump with the med. dilaudid the pain management wants my daughter to come off it in one month is that to fast and will there be alot of side effects and withdrawal please help i'm really scared for her and they are suppose to start reducing tomorrow ## Dialudid is a potent narcotic containing the active ingredient Hydromorphone. It really depends on how high of a dosage she has been on and for how long. It should be done on a very slow taper, slowly decreasing her dosage every 5 to 7 days, until she eventually isn't using any. She will, more than likely, still experience some withdrawal effects when she finally does stop altogether, however, they should not be severe nor dangerous. Just somewhat miserable. Did they say why ...
