Good day! I'm ken and 9 months pregnant. I have had a cough and colds for 3 days. I went to my DR for a consultation on what to take. My U/A result is: 4-6 in pus cell. Then my doctor prescribed me only amoxicillin and paracetamol, but my problem now is my cough. I mean it's a productive cough. There's phlegm inside and it wont come out. And because im pregnant I cant take any meds for the cough, all i can do is increase H2O and ascorbic acid. And i take ascorbic acid 2x daily. Is it ok if I take ascorbic acid 2x a day? ## Ascorbic acid is just a form of Vitamin C, so there is no harm in taking it, or H2O, which is water. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including acidity and heartburn. Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband was diagnosed with fatty liver. Is it safe for him to take alaxan fr for pain? ## No, if he has liver damage, he shouldn't take this, or any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, because it may cause liver damage, or liver failure, according to the NIH. It would be best for him to speak with his doctor about what would be safe for him to take. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take hydrocodone every 8 hrs for pain. Could that cause me to test positive for methamphetamine? ## Recently took a drug test for employment and tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine and I was on a prescription for hydrocodone and take an over-the-counter eye drops.

I have an enlarged vein that goes thru the muscle of my foot which has caused inflammation in this muscle and it hurts constantly. I was told my vein size is 99 and it should be 45 but before it can be corrected I have to loose 30 lbs in order to receive this procedure. In the meantime I have to suffer with this pain. Is there any medication that can reduce the inflammation and pain? ## Dear Wendy, Sorry to hear about your situation. Concerning the combined use of Penicillin, Ibuprofen and Hydrocodone, umm.edu's drug interaction checker doesn't list any interactions between these three medications. I'm also aware that ibuprofen and hydrocodone are available as one tablet (known as Vicoprofen), effectively ruling out interactions for those two. As to your other question re: ...

My orthopedic surgeon prescribed hydrocone-acetominophen 7.5/325 after my knee replacement surgery a month ago. Since I am taking levothyroxine, I had a bad reaction to the surgery--I think it was the anesthesia--and couldn't hold any food down for two days. But now, I'm finding that I'm getting desensitized to the hydrocodone and the 3X a day that the doctor prescribed for it isn't enough, and I am in pain after a few hours, and the amount of time I am pain free gets less and less with every passing day. I have started taking the hydrocodone every six hours (4X daily) and even that is not enough to control the pain. What should I do? ## It would be best to inform your doctor, because you may need to try a different medication, or you may need to switch to the 10/325mg d...

I take 10/325 vicodine. My doctor puts on the RX to fill on the 5th of every month. I get 120 and take 4 a day. I run out early a few times a year because if you count the days from the 5th of last month when I got them filled to the 5th of February it actually adds up to to like 32-33 days on some 5th to 5th dates which causes me to run out 2-3 days early. The pharmacist says even though it's a 30 day supply they still can't fill it until the 5th because that's what the RX says. Does the new law address this? Any suggestions? ## The new laws and directives actually place more restrictions on it, so your pharmacy no longer has any leeway and can't fill it until the date the doctor has directed. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming an...

I am asking is there a certain manufacturer that makes hydrocodone 10 325 in blue anymore. I used to take vicodin an since they lowered Tylenol my medicine doesn't work as good even with extra Tylenol. The ones marked with the m367 doesn't work at all for me just wondering if there is a certain manufacturer I need to ask for or something along those areas ## There is no specific best manufacturer that I can name for you, it really varies from person to person. It's simply a matter of trial and error to find which one works best for you. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Does anyone have a preferred manufacturer that works for them?

Will oxycodone and oxycodone hydrchloride be different in an intensive drug screen? ## yes they are diff. only because of the hydrochloride.. my doctor can tell if i was taking ONLY percocet without Roxicet/Oxycontin( they both have hydrochloride). if i took percocet AND roxicet they cant tell . So if you take regular percoet( oxycocone and actephiminine 5/325 7/325 10/325 5/650 7.5/650 10/650) do not take a roxicet before you se a doc.. he can tell with the hydrochloride..Now if its the other way around and you take roxicet and take percocet, eat away.. just make sure you watch you limit and don't overdose.. im ready to get off these asap,, ## I am currently taking Duagesic 25mcg and Oxycodone HCL 10 mg/2 a day. I was give a 15 mg oxy to try and now I'm seeing that different st...

There is no expiration date on this cough medicine. It is hydrocodone-chlorpheniram that was filled on 9/2/14. Is this still safe to take? ## Hi Jackie, According to studies represented by Harvard University and the LA Times Newspaper, hydrocodone can reportedly last anywhere from 10-40 years past the expiration date, depending on the conditions in which it is stored. Chlorpheniramine on the other hand is something I'm not so sure of (when it comes to long term studies); however, GlaxoSmithKline a UK-based drug manufacturer denotes a shelf life of 3 years for their Chlorpheniramine tablets. I understand that your product is liquid rather than a tablet, but if it were me in this position I'd probably feel some sense of security if it were stored in a cool, dry and dark environmen...

I took 3mg morphine sulfate IV on friday and 3am and have to drop a ua at 3!5 Tuesday will it still be in my system ## It can be detectable for 7 to 10 days. however, if you received it under medical orders, then all you have to do is inform them of this at the time of the test. They may wish to confirm this with the doctor or hospital, but they have to allow for legitimate medical use. Do you have any other questions? ## How soon does Morphine show in your urine after receiving it IV dose. While being treated for a leg injury, I was given about 6mg of morphine sulfate IV and approx 2-3 hours later I was asked to give a urine speciment for drug testing! Is that soon enough for it to show in my urine? ## i took 10mg of morphine on Saturday Night and had to drug test for a new job on Thir...

I have a prescribtion for Percocet 10/650's four a day and i might have a new job drug test coming up in the next week or so and was wondering if i will fail the test even though I have a script for the Percocet? If I list it as medications currently taking will that cover me or hurt me? Would the cranberry juice + lots of water help at all? ## You should simply inform them that you are taking it, when you go I'm for testing. Though, they can request verification from your doctor, if they so choose. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Hi there I... Have something to ask as well. I had a Lumbar Fusion on my L4 and L5 Vert in 2010. I have been on a Pain management regiment of Ocxcontin 20 mg 3 times a day and 7.5 Perc 4 times a day. I am fit as afiddle and Im almost at 1...

I have the white pill and also the blue pill marked with watson 540. Aren't they both the same except for a difference in the acetaminophen? ## Research I have gathered shows they are one in the same pill. Even the milligrams are the same. I found that the blue version of Watson 540 is simply manufactured or distributed by more companies than just Watson. Do you have any other questions or concerns? Please post back if you do... ## The blue pill is stronger than the white one.. The blue pill has 10 mgs of hydrocodone and the white has 5 mg. the blue also has 500mg tylenol vs 325 mg..... Now, I have also had some white ones the same strength as the blue ones.. Check you labels, but I have not found any blue ones of the weaker strength. ## Help, please......I haven taken Vicodin HP on...

I obtained medium size hot pink circular pills. On one side it's scored , on the other it is blank. I can't find a legit source as to what these are. Could be anything I know... I've seen ppl say oxycodone ... Possible allegations that they were given to me before they were imprinted with identification . They look exactly like the oxycodone pills that read " K 56" ## In my view, the title of this thread automatically denotes the pill as being either counterfeit, foreign or OTC. Legitimate prescription pills dispensed by licensed US pharmacies are required by law to bear an imprint for identification. End of story. Without an imprint, anyone could say that it contains anything or call it whatever they wish... Under such circumstances a lab analysis would probably be ...

I am on 5-325 hydrocodone. I took my last of the script around 7:30 this evening. I have an old script of 100mg, extended release, tramadol and figured I would take one in the am., since my hydrocodone script can't be filled til the day after tomorrow. Am I safe to take one around 8:00 am., tomorrow morning? ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu - drug interaction tool), there is a high interaction potential between hydrocodone and tramadol. However they do go on to note that because the two drugs may be necessary in certain cases, your doctor may have to adjust the dosage and/or frequency of dosing in order to help mitigate any possible risk factors/side effects (such as: Loss of balance or dizziness, slurred speech, confusion, changes in mental awarene...

it is a redish maroon color round pill with 12 on it what is it my 11 year old daughter said someone gave it to her ## I believe that what you may be looking at is a capital i and the number 2 and it contains 200mgs of Ibuprofen, it is a generic, or store brand of Advil, used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Learn more: Can you double check the markings on the pill and let me know if it's possibly an I2? ## A brown small round pill that's just marked with I2 is Amitriptylin 25mg. Now ibuprofen 200mg has about the same color although a little larger and has a dash in it marked with an I-2 so be very careful here

How many days should 14 norcos that I'm supposed to take every 4-6 hours last me until I can ask for a refill? ## Hello, Nato! How are you? How was it prescribed, are you supposed to take it as needed, or does it tell you to take them regularly? I need this additional information in order to answer your question. The FDA classifies this medication as narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## I have $120 for that the doctor gave me he told me to take one every 4 to 6 hours how many days should that last me

I've had a migraine for almost 2 days. Past issues with these headaches are typically only resolved by taking ibuprofen. Problem is I am taking xarelto and I was told to only take Tylenol if I need pain relief. I have been taking Tylenol and it is not helping one bit. I thought my doctor said "occasionally" no more than 600mg of Advil would be okay, but I can't seem to reach anyone on the weekend. Please help! ## Hi Kyle, According to The University of Maryland Medical Center drug interaction tool, there is a high interaction potential between Advil and Xarelto. They go on to note that using an anticoagulant with a NSAID is generally not recommended, but because it may be needed in certain cases, you and your doctor should work together to find an appropriate dosing regi...

I am prescribed 50mg ultram (100 of them) - It says take every 6 hours. How many days is this supply supposed to last me? ## One every 6 hours would be 4 a day, so that would be 25 days. However, it really depends on the specifics of the prescription, for instance, if it is written to be taken as needed, your doctor may not expect you to always need to take 4 a day, so they may intend for it to last longer. What are the specific directions on the label? The FDA warns that this medications carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. ## William, Although mathematics would indicate a 25 day supply, most doctors or pharmacist's interpreting such would most likely indicate a 30 day or monthly supply...
