I have been taking liquid morphine every four hours since december 2015 for severe sciatia. I had a spinal operation 4 weeks ago, which was a complete success. However now I cannot sleep without taking zimovane. Everything else is functioning well. Morphine is still present in my body. I drink water constantly. Is there any other solution to rid the morphine? ## I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I understand you. Are you still taking the Morphine, or not? If not, there is no way it would still be present in your body and having an active effect weeks after stopping it. It usually only takes a short period of time for it to be eliminated, as reported by the NIH. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zimovane as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, hallucinations and next day ha...

Hi docter i am givan melmet 500 sr qhen my sugar level sare faatig 110,112and random 160 mg HBAIAC test7.8. Igot this blood sugar after taking 1 month viral medicines &pain killer. ## Hello, Pradeep! How are you? It can be stopped, if your doctor approves and doesn't believe you are actually diabetic, but you should not stop it, without first consulting them, to be safe. Diabetes can be a deadly illness, if left untreated. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. What viral medications and pain killers were you taking? This information would enable me to research more information for you. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

I'm taking 15mg of slow release morphine 2x a day and feel no relief what so ever. It's been 5 days now. Should I request higher doses? ## Hello, Sarge! How are you? I am sorry that you're in pain. And yes, it may be best to speak to your doctor about exploring other options, such as raising your dosage, or trying a different medication. Just be careful not to demand any particular option, since that could cause them to assume you're drug seeking. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## To verwon, thanks for the reply!

Can I take a 7.25 oxycodone every six hours with a 500 mg tynol once a day? Will it hurt my health ? ## Hello, Carol! How are you? You can take them together, if your doctor approves, Acetaminophen can augment the efficacy of the Oxycodone in some people that take it. However, as reported by the U.S. FDA, long-term use of high doses of Acetaminophen carries the risk of liver damage, or failure. They also warn that Oxycodone carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Having real bad ear infection pain, I took two 5/325 norco and ibuprofen 800 for inflammation. Should i not have taken them at the same time? ## Hello, Purdy! How are you? They can be taken together, as long as your doctor has instructed you to take them both. But, as reported by the FDA, you may experience more side effects than usual, such as more intense nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took half of a Lortab 10; the white one with m367 on one side and a line on the other, but before that I took 4 ibuprofen 200 mg which 4 made it 800 mg. I can't sleep. I'm supposed to take my blood pressure medicine at 11/12 tonight but I haven't.

i know what the yellow ones look like but do they have some that are round with no markings on either side and are white,is this a percocet? ## If there are no markings, then it is not a legal U.S. prescription tablet, of any type. Under federal law, they are all required to have markings to enable their identification, in case of emergency. If this one has no markings, there are 2 possible options of what it could be. The first and most likely is that it is some type of over the counter product, because they are not required to have imprints and there are many that meet this description. The second is that it could be a foreign medication, since they are not regulated as strictly as those approved in the U.S. and Canada. Where was it found/obtained? ## Is there any that's small yel...

I was prescribed Norco for severe back pain and I woke up sick as a dog. Loratab didnt make me feel this way but Norco did. I took one 10-325 Wednesday night and tiday is Saturday and I still feel lightheaded ## Hello, Sonya! How are you? Are you receiving the name brands, or generics? What are the markings on the tablets? Can you please post back and clarify? This information will help me research more details for you. The FDA does want that it can cause nausea and vomiting, as side effects, in some people that take it, along with dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. ## That should be warn, not want! Oh, autocorrect, I hate you so! LOL

I have oxycontin 15 mg for cancer pain. Finding it difficult to determine how much is released into the bloodstream at intervals. Does it 'peak' at a certain time? Or, once it breaks down inside the body, is it an even release throughout the 12 hours? I'm imagining it is like taking 5 mg of oxycodone every 4 hours. Correct? Thanks! ## Hello, Matronum! How are you? The way it is made, the pill media slowly dissolves over a period of 12 hours, due to your stomach acid, so the medication is just very gradually release, rather than releasing boluses every so many hours. Think of an ice cube slowly melting in a warm room, it's really just drop, by drop, until it fully melts. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects,...

Looking for a pharmacy that carries ms contin made by Rhodes in klamath falls oregon ## I'm looking for a pharmacy that carries ms contin 30mg and 15mg made by Rhodes in Klamath falls oregon. I used to be able to get them at Savon. They claim they can no longer get that medicine. Pleaae let me know how to get this product. Thank you. Kelly ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're experiencing. Unfortunately, there is no database available that will let you know which pharmacy carries a medication made by any particular manufacturer. Even if someone tried to set up such a thing, the information would always be fluid and constantly changing, so it would be virtually impossible to keep it properly updated. The only thing you can really do is take your pr...

I don't have a lot of money , what I do have in pill form is 5-325 and 7.5-325 both of which are Hydrocodone Acetaminophen so I'm close to the end of the 7.5-325 hydrocodon and to make it I wanted to know how many pills of the 5-325 hydrocodon will I need to keep taking the same strength to equal the 7.5-325 ? ## That really isn't going to work, because though you might be able to get close to the proper dose of Hydrocodone, but would always be getting more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen, since it is in both tablets. The FDA classifies this medication as a 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. Have you consulted your doctor for advice and assistance? They ma...

How are you? They have just been manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies, which is very common with generic medications. RHO stands for Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and ACT stands for Actavis, but they are the same medication. 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.

What pain level constitutes a synthetic heroin patch along with oxycodone? And why is it so easy to get for someone I know? Too many pill doctors give PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. Person claims to have back pain, so was put on the patch and as pain increases the person is given hydrocodone rather oxyodone. Nothing wrong with the person, they just want pills. I told them they should have back surgery. She said the doctor said she's 2 young. lol they are 40 years old, give me a break. If I would not get in trouble I would turn her and her doctor in, he is a pill pusher. When they go to doctor and are asked what level of pain (1 to 10), they always say a 10.. yet I had just seen her pick up a 50 lb baby and walk all over the place with no pain. ## Sometimes having back surgery can cause more...

I have been trying to find out how opiate levels are checked in the urine? The pharmacy wont fill my prescriptions without my urine being tested for levels. I only take small amount of oxycodone a day. The thing is, it's not even enough. My pain is so high, that the oxycodone only helps for an hr or two then I suffer for 4 hrs before my next dose. So are the levels even going to be correct? I'm just worried that the levels won't show correct, the Dr won't give me the meds anymore, then I'm in even more pain. ## I hoe somebody will reply on this question, It's ludicrous for a pharmacy to do such a thing, go to another pharmacy u don't need that sh**! ## they will check for the levels of the drugs metabolites. if it taking them right or even close to right you...

I had back surgery for degenerative disc disease in November,1997 to relieve excruciating severe lower back pain.The neurosurgeon implanted a Bak-Cage, *L3,4 and 5*, Unfortunately the surgery was not a success which simply disabled me, I had no other alternative, I now rely on Social Security and I live my life in 'Chronic' extreme back pain, thankfully there are medications that can help. After my surgery, I began seeing a phyciaciatrist and he has been my doctor ever since. I was placed on OxyContin for a short time. Then I then was prescribed morphine. Morphine did not help my pain whatsoever, in fact I was just a miserable zombie. I was then placed on Lorcet 10/750 until the FDA put restrictions on the amount of Acetominiphine. My doctor still prescribed me lorcet 10/650 eve...

I have a Rx of Vic's for 5/325. They r the vintage Qualitest brand. What I find odd is they r oblong white with little pink speck in them. ## That is just something that was done to help distinguish their pills from the others that are on the market, they are just added specks of color and nothing to worry about. 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.
