Are there any drug stores that sell aspergum? Or anything that is real good for a sore throat and cough. ## Hello, Susie! How are you? I'm sorry, but Aspergum was removed from the market years ago, due to the risk it posed of accidental poisonings, since many children just thought it was regular gum, according to FDA reports. Though Retrobrands did buy the trademark this year and say they plan to relaunch the product. I'm not sure what is available where you live, you may want to ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend something. There are several liquid cough and cold syrups available that contain ingredients that may help. Are you on any other medications? ## I will be so happy if they bring it back to the market it used to get rid of sore throat pain quicker than anything ...

I will going to California on the 25th of December. My medicine will run out on the 30th of December. It is a controlled substance (Percocet 10mg) Can I get my prescription filled in California? It is a Prescription From a Alabama doctor. Please help me figure out what to do! ## Hey call your Dr see if he will write you early. That's what I did with mine when I went and he was fine with it. ## Football 32, To actually answer your question no they will not fill your script out of state especially with a cs2 like Percocet and even getting another script won't help UNLESS your doc writes for a dosage increase because your current rx in the system isn't to be completed until the 30 th. Sadly your traveling to and from 2 states that have an epidemic of rx abuse. It sucks when fam...

I am a man who takes lyrica. Can I give my wife a yeast infection from my sperm having lyrica in it? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? No, it doesn't work that way, regardless of the medication, she would not be exposed to enough of it via your sperm to cause any issues. Unless you are prescribed a medication that specifically says not to engage in intercourse, while taking it, there is nothing to worry about. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lyrica as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight gain. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Why can't my pharmacy get the Endocet 10/325? ## Hi, Scott! Sorry about the problem that you're having. By any chance are you on the east coast? If so, there was a very large distributor that got shut down, so most pharmacies have a backorder on controlled substances, until they can get a new distributor to take over. Apparently, this distributor was found to be processing much larger amounts of controlled substances than others, which made government agencies suspicious. Learn more Endocet details here. ## Could you please share the possible link to the knowledge of this plant you are speaking of, for all us east coast fellow pain management patients/sufferers. I have no doubt it's true, but would really like to read the information myself online & I know many more woul...

I need to get refill on lortab or Percocet for chronic pain that takes Amerigroup January 2015, a small clinic that will prescribe lortab close to mt Juliet Tennessee ## I'm sorry, but general practice clinics will no longer prescribe such medications, due to the new regulations that were set forth by the DEA last year. If you require such a medication, you'll need to see a specialist, now. Do you currently have a PCP that might be able to refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. The FDA lists this medication as being a This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Can anyone recommend a good doctor i...

I need Spain doc who takes blue care insurance and write s prescription s for oxycodone. ## Good luck with that! After my pain doc stopped taking my insurance I can't find a doc who will write for more than 1% of what I've been on. I'm on less now than when I started seven years ago.

Will tylenol#3 test the same as Norco? Shattered my ankle waiting for 2nd surgery and ran out of Norco. My Dr. called and requested a urine test tomorrow. I cannot pick up my pain med's without a test. Do they test it right away at the lab? This is the VA. ## No, they do not test the same. Codeine is metabolized into morphine; hydrocodone is metabolized into hydromorphone. As far as whether they'll know the results immediately, it depends what type of test they're utilizing and if they use an in-house lab. Simple urine tests and merely detect the presences of each class of drugs can be done right away, and in that case both the codeine and the hydrocodone will just come up as opioids. If it's a more advanced test, it will show the different medications and can also tell ...

If I take 1 oxy on sat. night and then next day took 3 cleansing pills, and cranberry pills will my udt be clean on monday ## The major route of oxycodone excretion is in the urine (so taking the cranberry pills was a good option). The effects of oxycodone last up to 4 hours after use. The length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. Taking any of sort of detox (cleansing) pills will definitely speed up the excretion rate. I don't know what brand you're using or its strength or quality, but it will certainly be more helpful than nothing at all even if you d...

I have a massive toothache and was looking through my old prescriptions for something for pain. I found a bottle that the label is faded from being kept on the windowsill and was wondering what the pills were. They are small, white with a fancy V on one side and blank on the other. Any ideas? It's early Saturday morning and I can't get to the dentist until Tuesday and Tylenol isn’t cutting it anymore. ## I'm sorry, but there aren't any prescription pain medications that just have a V on them, they all have additional numbers or letters. If this only has a V then it is only logical to conclude that it's something that's available over the counter and I'm sorry to say that leaves the possible options very wide open as to what it may be.

I found this pill in our closet under one of my husbands hats. It was chipped at little bit. He said he had no idea and doesn't even know what I'm talking about. I asked him who else put it there? His response was I don't know maybe the dog did. He got defensive and said don't keep pressing this, I've already told you I don't know anything about it. I have never taken roxy and you know that. He has had an addiction a long time ago so it really worries me that he is lying? Should I be worried? Also if he was doing pills why would he put it where I could easily find it? It doesn't make sense.

Has anyone been experiencing pain like severe heartburn stomach cramps? Another problem is that I have been literally passing whole pills ( other meds I'm on) in my stool... I did some research and found other people stating that they were having stomach issues......some days my pain meds work great but I have about 2 days a week that I can't even tell that I have taken anything. I am also on Percocet 7.5/325 for breakthrough pain ## Hello, Tammy! How are you? What other medications are you taking? Do the whole pills pass with normal stool, or diarrhea? Are any of them time released? Does your diet vary? Do you eat spicy foods or drink alcohol? I'm just trying to get a better idea of what may or may not be affecting you to cause such issues. This is a narcotic analgesic, so ...

Does anyone know what this is Red Octagon shape with HAB on one side and Scored on other side ## Hi Bri, Based on my research I suspect this could possibly be a product of HAB Pharmaceuticals, from India. Other reports entertain the idea that it may contain tramadol, however I haven't located any further details that would provide clues for a deeper investigation. Perhaps contacting HAB Pharma would be your best best. Whereabouts did you get it from? ## Bri I got these too. Have you found anything out. They are not what I was told, I can tell u that much. Hope u figured something out. And would like to hear back from you. Thank you ... SAREY.

round blue ## My Dr. gave me morphine cr for Fibromyalgia. What will it feel like? I'm nervous about taking it. ## If you have taken other narcotics, then you will feel the same effects, though Morphine is very strong. In case you haven't, you can expect to feel drowsy, possible nausea, dry mouth and experience constipation. ## my dr, gave me morphine cr 15 mg. but this is too strong for me. can i use a pill cutter? ## Good and out of pain ## My rheumatologist gave duloxetine for fibromyalgia. I've had 1 flare in more than a year, so it's worked well without all the possible side effects of morphine. Just a thought for you unless you've already tried it. Good luck to you. ## Don't cut CR tablets. They have a coating on them to prevent the full dose from you g int...

I have been taken 30mgs of oxycodone for over a year. My pain management Doctor cut me from his program because my primary care physician was giving me a prescription for another ailment. Now I don't have any doctor prescribing anything to me and now I am trying to find a pain management doctor ## Since you were getting pain meds from 2 different drs, I doubt you will find a pain management dr that will accept you. ## that certainly sucks but you were caught, in drug parlance, to be double clutching pills and have no source. I was kicked out of a pain clinic myself for another reason but I was lucky enough to find another pain doctor. then a couple after that. all that has changed. there is now a regionally shared prescription drug registry in place that catches people trying to obt...

My dr now has to drug test me before every visit or says he can't prescribe my Oxycodone 30mg four times daily. Last month he said I failed the test for the Oxy but came up positive for Hydrocodone. There's positively no way this could have happened. Can a test they use in the office with urine be so specific??? ## Yes they test for each one.mine does at least . ## yes they are that specific. the most common in house drug test used in doctors offices is the 10 panel expanded ua. these can be beaten by folks who know what they're doing. a blood test also is a 10 panel expanded plus blue. there is no way to "study" for a blood test lol. this is what led to me detoxing from 120 mgs of oxy per day. the hospital I detoxed in gave me a stable 120 mg administered over a wee...

Can you please tell me if this is a Percocet? I'm afraid to take it but am in a lot of pain. My Rx was filled from India. ## It might be hard to say for sure. Can you reply back with any details on the packaging such as a manufacturer name? Also, you said in the title that it is supposed to be Hydrocodone. The issue is that Percocet does not contain Hydrocodone as an active ingredient. It is a combination of Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. So I must ask you to clarify which medication you are expecting it to be?
