Is it safe to take vitamin B. I am diabetic, hypertensive and already have kidney problems. I feel tingling sensations in my toes, below my ears and the scar from my bypass operation. ## Hi, Jaycee! Sorry about the health problems you're having. However, with a complicated medical history, as well as the fact that I'm sure you're taking other medications, I can only tell you that it's best to check with your doctor, before taking anything else.

Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Low, it is true that b1,6,12 also vitamins for growth?

Where can I find unilife plus tablets for my mother ## Hi Sapito, I'm not finding many specific details on the description or availability of this product, other than it being associated with Vitamin A. However from what little bit I could gather, the "Unilife" brand appears to be something that's more commonly known in Mexico. So I can only assume that it may be a product of that country, which would explain why information is harder to come by in US search engines. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Unilife-A Details Was your mother recommended these tablets by her doctor?

Can anyone tell me what they are please. picture included: prntscr.com/1ti15w thanks ## Hi les, I haven't been able to find any prescription medications that have the same imprints as the pill you have found.

is folic acid methylcobalamin and dha safe to take before pragnancy? ## Hi rashmi, Based on my research, all three of those products are considered to be safe for and during one's pregnancy. Apparently, taking Folic Acid as well as Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B-12) before and during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects. Those two nutrients seem to work as a team in this regard. DHA (fish oil) is also considered to be an essential nutrient for women, but even more so during pregnancy. Its positive effects help promote healthy cognitive function and motor development. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Folic-Acid Details I hope this info helps!

I am a 34 year male, and I weigh 53 kg (116 pounds). I would like to gain weight, are there any drugs that can help me gain weight? ## 36 yr male ,Height 5'8", 54 kg thin body.by proffession interior designer.mani.pls prescribe some medicin ## From a nutritional standpoint, the first thing I would suggest is portioning out your meals every 2-3 hours (somewhere around 4-6 meals per day). These meals should include natural nutrient dense foods with little to no empty calories, so you can get the most out of each meal. Another option which would be useful to include with the above information, is to supplement with something that will increase your appetite. Depending on your view, medical marijuana has extreme appetite increasing properties; however there are other pills/products/...

Cant find these chewable tables anywhere, pharmacy says was discontinued. Pharmacist ordered me akedamin tablets as alternate, and was $10 less per bottle. 60 ct bottle by macoven upc# 4418320060 ## According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, cystic fibrosis (CF) Multivitamins are not listed as being discontinued. The only related pills I can find on there that have been discontinued are ADEKs Chewable Multivitamin Tablets. Ref: ashp.org/DrugShortages/NotAvailable/Bulletin.aspx?id=811 In any case if it's saving you money and working just as well, then I suppose you can only look at this as being a good thing.

I found a small yellow pill with no split line. On one side capital C nothing on the other side. Any ideas please? ## Upon further study, this yellow pill with only a capital C on one side might fall under the orange/peach color more than yellow. Thank you in advance for your help. ## With such a vague imprint, I'm inclined to think that is something that's available over the counter and that leaves it open to many possibilities. I've seen some vitamin C tablets that match this description, but I can't be completely certain that's what you have, since there are others that also match this description. Where did you find it? Does anyone else have any ideas?

The only thing is I'd like to do this using a vitiam or something natural. or maybe even building muscle. I'm not sure how to do this, but I do want to do it in a healthy manner. Or maybe gain a little at a time so once I get to a desirable size I can keep it there. I would like to start working out again but when I work out I get even smaller!!! I cant gain weight but I can sure loose it. Which isnt healthy either. I just want to gain a few extra pounds......HELP ## Hi, Brandy! It could just be that your not meant to be heavier. Genetics plays a very large role in it. 124 is pretty tiny for your height, but if you're naturally small, you're just naturally...

I read where "Nerve Up" tablets, which I understand is a multi-vitamin, helps pain due to damaged nerves. I was born with spina-Bifida and a hole in my back 1932. The doctor did not know what it was and sewed the hole up. Had no significant problems except don't touch my back until I was 68 years old at which time I began having terrible pain in my lower back,legs and tailbone. My primary physician did not know what the problem was so he sent me to an orthopedic doctor who made an X-Ray and told me I had Spina Bifida and my spinal cord was tethered; he referred me to a Neurologist who concurred with his diagnosis and sent me to a Neuro-Surgeon. The Neuro-Surgeon told me if I did not have surgery to release my spinal cord I would be paralyzed from the waist down and lose cont...

Small medium brown tablet abt 3/8" across 1/16to 1/8" thick with BYP on one side and a flower that resembles a pansy on reverse. Can't identify. May be some type of natural/vitamin type tablet. ## Don't have more details--gave the best description I could. It showed up on our living room floor, and we had vacuumed many times before I found it. Have had some company but it was in a strange place to have been dropped accidentally. ## Hi Judy, Based on the description provided, the closest match could find is unfortunately a bit of a guess judging from the imprint and what I've seen on my search results; and that is a possible "gastric bypass" supplement. I did come across one other post asking what this could possibly be, and they also believed it to be some so...
