I have been on a course of 800mg of pregablin for nearly five years. In the past 9 months I have been having terrible pains in my teeth and gums. I had a serious hand accident with catastrophic injuries so was prescribed the above I had two large operations to save my hand . The dentist has sent me to see a specialist and I have been informed that I am losing quite a few teeth . My teeth where my pride and joy now fifty five and starting to lose them has really upset me . How can these people sell drugs that are doing us so much harm? I have been working really hard over the past three months and have been reducing my intake of pregablin which has been very very difficult.

My friend was put on morphine for severe pain 5 months ago but she can get it on a repeat and is now better, is this normal practice? ## It really depends on the laws where you live and the practices of the doctor involved. For instance, in the U.S. and Canada, no, you'd have to see your doctor at least once a month and get a new prescription each time. However, this does not apply everywhere. Learn more Morphine details here. How often does she see her doctor?

Hi I have been on lyrica 200g twice daily and since starting I have put on near two stone. I started slimming world while still on it but I am shifting now if it. The leader says it cannot be the medication but I am eating healthy but not losing. I am getting so down about it has this happened to anyone else . Many thanks . ## Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant that has also been shown to help with nerve pain and mood disorders and yes, as such, it has been known to cause weight gain as a side effect in some people that have used it. Learn more Lyrica details here. However, just eating healthy may not necessarily cause you to lose weight, you also need to get plenty of proper exercise. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has anyone taken Ebility for pain relief? If so, how well does it work? ## It appears that this medication is manufactured outside the United States, possibly by Piramal healthcare. Details are limited at this point. Can you post back with any other information such as active ingredients, etc? ## Ebility is Manufactured by Piramal Healthcare India. It is Paracetamol Diclofinac Potassium & Serratiopeptidase. My dentist prescribed this when I underwent a root canal for my teeth. He advised me to take the tablet after the root canal only in case of pain. ## Yes! It is a written Rx containing Paracetamol + Diclofinac Potassium + Serratiopeptidase on the casing.

ive noticed that my local pharmacies have been changing their 30mg oxycodones from the little blue pills with the M imprint on them to ones that have an A or a a V on them. which dont seem to work as well or are less effective. how would i go about finding a pharmacy locally that does carry the M's? ## The only thing you can do is ask at the pharmacies. There's really no other way of knowing which ones they carry, at any given time, since it can vary depending on who had the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. You can also try asking the pharmacy that you usually to order the other ones in for you, though you will probably have to pay the higher price, or the price different if you have insurance.

I have been taking Armidex for breast cancer, and Triamterene and Hydrochlorothiazide, and Amlodipine Besylate for high blood pressure. Can I take extra strength Tylenol for hip joint pain? ## I am not finding any interactions or problems listed between these medications and the Acetaminophen. However, has your doctor said it's safe for you to take it? With such a complicated medical history, there may be other factors that play a role and only your doctor will be able to inform you on those.

I have found a white/cream coloured pill in my car door, need some answer from people as I dont know what it is. It has a capital 'M' with an underscore underneath it followed by the number '200'. It is round and smooth. Please help. ## This pill is difficult to ID, but I did find some information that may be of help. Another patient with this same pill has an "assumption" that it may be 200mg of Ibuprofen (Motrin), and they believe the PV could stand for 'Premier Value'. This user was based in the UK if that counts for anything, but since I can't locate a definitive match, this is all I have to go off of for now. Hopefully someone else who has this pill in their possession can help by posting a few more details on what it might be. Good luck on your ...

My doctor gave me these and told me he could prescribe them because they had such a low dose of hydracodone in them that, being a non-narcotic doctor, Id bot have to drive to pick up a script paper. Yet I'm seeing people on here say its just acetaminaphin. What is it, please? L014? ## These tablets contain 500mgs of Acetaminophen, they are generic, or store brand of Tylenol. They don't contain any narcotics of any type and are available over the counter. Learn more Acetaminophen information here. There really is no such thing as narcotic and non-narcotic doctors. Except for in certain cases of addiction treatment, any doctor can prescribe a narcotic for pain to their patients, they just have to be careful to log the prescriptions and follow the relevant laws. Are there any other...

If not, there are more than a handful of sites online that have them available for you to print out at no cost, which could save you a good percentage off the price of the medication.

I live troy,mi do anybody know any pharmacy that have them,or oxycontin,thank ## Hello, To help you with your search - listed below is a pharmacy-locator, that uses your zip code to find nearby pharmacies within a given mile range: pharmacylocator.unarxcard.com Phone numbers and addresses are included in the list after you verify your zip code; so I would suggest visiting a number of them to see if anyone can fill your prescription (calling them generally isn't recommended, as they are trained to say no on the phone if a stranger is asking for narcotics). You may have to consider looking at online pharmacies as a last resort if this doesn't work out. I would then recommend checking with sites such as PharmacyChecker, as they only list certified (reputable) online pharmacies. Alt...
