It is an oblong oval solid maroon pill, with no markings on it at all. it is flat along the sides of it. About this---> ( ) long when I put it up to the monitor. I am just curious... Kinda mysterious without a label. ## Well, it can be ruled out as being a prescription tablet, because they are all required to have markings to enable their identification. So yes, it is most likely some type of over the counter product. Unfortunately, that really doesn't tell me the size, since my monitor may be different than yours, so things like text and symbols may appear smaller or larger to me. As to the pill, I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I've been taking fruta planta for 11 days and I only lost 3 pounds. I've been exercising and taking it in the morning with warm water. I'm reading that people are losing 10 lbs the first week. Am I doing something wrong? ## Maybe you got fake pills? I'm on my 3rd day and lost 3 pounds (2lbs the first day and 1 the second). I haven't been exercising at all. ## Well, the first thing that needs to be stated here is that Fruta Planta is a dietary supplement, so it is not actually proven to help with weight loss. Second, there is nothing on the market that works for everyone. Fruta Planta contains: Lemon, Bitter Melon, Papaya, Benefit Fruit and Spirulina Maxima. Do you have any other questions? ## I've been on it for 12 days and i lost 10 pounds already. I believe eve...

my hair are getting White in young age.i am 23 years old.I want to know why it is so.please help me. my doctor advised me to take keraglo forte. is it effective.please tell me as soon as possible. ## Keraglo Forte is a nutritional supplement, not a medication, it contains: Biotin, N-Acetyl-Cycsteine, Calcium, Selenium, Copper and Zinc. The Biotin in it has sometimes been used to help with hairloss, but it is not known to help with going gray. Since this is a supplement, that also means the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for actual medications. As to your hair, it is going to be difficult for anyone to give you an answer to that. Your hair color is related to the amount of Melanin in your body, the more melanin present, when you are born, the darker your ha...

I have been on the implant for over a year I had it taken out in April 2013 to start for a baby but its been 6 month now and haven't had a period I have been to the doctors for so many tests and all have come back fine I've tried all the tips on line ie taking vitamin c 3000mg to start my period and still nothing I was wondering if they is anything else I can do to start my period? ## Hello, Col! Sorry about the problem that you're having. Have they checked your hormone levels? It sounds like you may not be naturally producing them right now. Estrogen is needed to build the endometrial lining, then progesterone stabilizes it and the sudden drop off of it is what causes your period to start. There are both synthetic and natural forms of Progesterone available that your doctor...

I am 40 year female with 60 kg. weight . I suffered knee injury a few days back . My MRI showed partial tear of Anterior Cruciate ligament . I am now having pain on weight bearing and slightly at rest . No i an using hinged knee brace . I have been prescribed tendocare tablets and L-Arginine powder for it . Does it have any beneficial effect . And if yes. What should be the dose . Is there any other medication for healing of the said ligament . ## mam it depends on which degree of tear, the first and important rx is rest and about medicine ligament has poor blood supply so medicine has less effect but its better continue. my advice is consult with a PHYSIOTHERAPIST . and physiotherapy rx is most beneficiary if the tear is 20- 40 percent.

I have been prescribed Blong tablets for Meralgia paresthetica.This disease was diagnosed by a Doctor as I have tingling,burning or numbness or other sensations on the upper left thigh especially when I lie on my back to sleep. ## B-Long is a sustained release formulation of a Vitamin B complex, they are commonly believed to help with certain types of neuropathic pain and a lack of them can cause or contribute to its worsening. Since they are vitamins, rather than an actual drug, the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, however, some people do report some nausea, after taking them. Learn more: Are there any comments or questions? ## Please let me know if the drug contains viatamin B12? ## I have a 5 months old daughter after my delivery i am felling very depressed n very l...

Use of above capsule ## Hello, I actually couldn't find any medications by the name of Nervo F... but I did happen to come across a dietary supplement by the name of "Nervo B12"; for those who may be deficient in this B vitamin. Apparently they come in the form of sublingual lozenges, so I don't really know if their oblong/capsule-shaped or not. Are there any imprints or markings on the capsule as well?

i am very underweight and i need the list of drug names for curing my problem tellme the drugs ## There are no medications that will provide you with a way to gain weight, healthily. Even when doctors recommend something for it, they normally give a multi-vitamin to make sure you are getting proper nutrition, which is usually the largest cause of being underweight. Your best bet is to make sure you are properly nourished, by following a healthy diet and also follow a good exercise regimen. Also, some people are just naturally small and you may never gain much weight. This is the way my body is and I have just learned to accept it. Are there any comments or questions? ## I have not taken my meds levetiracetam and sertraline since October 2013 n even though I haven't had a seizure my ...

CIPCAL-500 is a product containing Calcium and Vitamin D.What are the benefits and disadvantages of taking one tablet daily for one month? ## Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and to prevent hypocalcemic tetany. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. The only reason to supplement calcium and vitamin D in my opinion, is if you're not getting at least 30min to an hour of sunlight each and everyday. Also if your not getting enough calcium in your diet then having it with...

blank on the other, kind of metallic? ## i found a green metallic like oval pill with N+C on it too... What is it? ## Same! ## Vick's Nyquil Plus Vitamin C My mom found two of these in my brother's room and had me search high and low on the internet. She later called and said she found the nyquil box with the rest of the same pills. So nothing too bad! ## It is Vicks Nyquil, but be aware kids who use drugs (pills) do use these for purposes other than medicating the flu. It's not okay unless he's had the flu and normally your parents would be aware if he was sick and have purchased the medication for him. ## WHAT IS N+C GREEN OVAL PILL THAT I FOUND? ## dwhnb ## If you search the Vick's Vyquil website for products, you will find that they only have liquid or liquid cap...

small, circle shape, light brown with tiny white speckles throughout. No coating, no scoring, and no imprint. ## I'm having a difficult time in locating your pill. Without an imprint or a marking it will be hard to locate the correct pill. If there is any more information you can give me, please post back so I can help you further. If there is no more informaiton you can give me, then I would try contacting your pharmacist, and maybe he/she can determine what your pill is. It can be a process, they usually take it to a lab. Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## i actually had a guy tryin to sell these pills to a friend of mine as oxycotin and it is completely blank except for scored on one side and its like the size of a button its roun...

is there any harm if I take evion 600 for a long period? and will it increase the sperm count? ## It is just a vitamin E supplement, so it isn't considered harmful, unless you take more than directed and no, it isn't like to increase sperm count, either. Learn more vitamin E details here.

Is there anyway to find this without a prescription? ## Yes, this is just a vitamin and can be found at any health food store, and even most drug stores over the counter, and it's actually preferable to the prescription form. Your doctor is not doing you any favors prescribing you the prescription form of this vitamin. Please see the page on Prescription Vitamin D to see why you actually are better off with the over the counter form anyway. You can simply purchase Vitamin D3 (emphasis on the '3') at any health food store. 50,000 IU's per week is equivalent to approximately 7000 IU's per day. So just get an over the counter dosage that is the equivalent of 7000 IU's per day and take it daily instead of weekly. There is no downside to this, it's actually prefer...

this is the second peerscription given to correct my deficientcy, is this appropriate ? ## Have you asked your doctor? This is a high dosage, but how badly are you deficient? Do you have any idea what's causing the deficiency? Vitamin D ## sir,madam i have my loose hair pl z give me some information for hair. thank you ## Yes, this is almost certainly appropriate. If your doctor gave you another prescription, it's almost certainly because the first prescription did not raise your levels enough and he is doing 'almost' the right thing giving you another prescription to bring up your levels. Although the 'prescription' form is 'inferior' and you'd be better off getting an 'over the counter' D3 instead of the synthetic D2 that he prescribed. Plea...

I was prescribed Vitamin D2 1.25 mg to be taken once a week for five weeks after my D level was tested and came back at a level of 21. I took the first dose 5 days ago and for the past four days I have experienced intense muscle and bone pain, drowsiness, weakness, shortness of breath, burning sensation in my bladder. Could I be experiencing an overdose? Is this too high of a dosage in comparison to my level being 21? ## The symptoms you've described may actually be due to the deficiency. The dosage you're taking does convert to 50,000IUs, but tests show that toxicity doesn't usually occur at that dose, unless it's taken daily for several months. There is a small chance that the dosage is too much for you, at once and could be causing the symptoms, but you should talk to...
