Is Ranbaxy Valacyclovir gluten free ? ## Hello, Based on my research, Ranbaxy Pharmaceutical's version of Valacyclovir hydrochloride does NOT list gluten as an ingredient. From what I could gather, each film-coated tablet contains the following list of inactive ingredients: crospovidone, FD&C blue #2/indigo carmine aluminum lake, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 400, polyethylene glycol 6000, polysorbate 80, povidone, and titanium dioxide.

Thanks ## Did they say what you're problem was? Have you been actively intimate? Is it possible that you have an STD?

I'm looking for a skin cream with at least 2% polyphenol content. I find it very useful in treating Rosacea. Until a few years ago I use Origin Polyphenon Skin Cream (which promised 3% "polyphenon" content) to good effect. But Origin does not seem to be making it now. Does anyone know where I might find a "green tea" skin cream which has such potency - one with no harmful ingredients? ## I've not tried it, but the Replenix Cream CF (Caffeine Enhanced) has been strongly recommended for those with Rosacea.

white oblong tablet with an x on side, marked 3 4 on the other side found in a friend's pocket. ## Hi Bear, The oblong white pill you're describing is identified as Famciclovir (500 mg), manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. Famciclovir is in a class of medications called antivirals. It works by stopping the spread of the herpes virus in the body. Famciclovir does not cure herpes infections and may not stop the spread of herpes virus to other people. However, it may decrease the symptoms of pain, burning, tingling, tenderness, and itching; help sores to heal; and prevent new sores from forming. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Famciclovir Details I hope this helps!

I have chlamydia and i have an amox 500 gg 849 antibiotic pill. will that clear up my chlamdia? If so how many times a week should i take it? ## Hi Lisha, Based on my research, chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics, but if you become infected again, there's a chance a strain will develop that is not so manageable by antibiotics. I would look into using essential oils that have antibacterial properties, such as tea tree oil. Those will be much less harsh on your body. If you're interested, here's a link to an article that provides info on treating chlamydia in a more natural way: ezinearticles.com/?Alternative-and-Herbal-Medicines-for-Chlamydia-Treatment&id=964212 I hope this helps!

my girlfriend was diagnosed with HPV and got me medication also from her doctor. I want to know what it is. It is the diameter of a pencil's eraser, white, smooth-coated, pressed pill. Round, blank on one side with "Q100" clearly printed on the other in thin font, which seems like dark brown/maroon ink. any help is very much appreciated.

This gel is heaven sent for cold sores/herpes Simplex or veneral herpes. It give the same wonderful relief to both herpes. Applied to red ant bites it stops the festering . Applied to mosquitos bits it takes the sting out and reduces the size of the welts. Like others I have not been able to purchase at local drug stores. Where can I order on line in quantities of 10 or more. This is a product you want to share with young families and the older folks. ## I'd recommend being careful about using on an area of the body for which it is not intended. Doing so may lead to some possible serious adverse reactions and/or yeast infections. To treat genital issues, it is best and safest to stick with a product that is specifically formulated to be used in those areas. Learn more herpes details...
