I"m under going fertility and taking clomid if I start taking alcachofa pills will it be safe? Of corase I will stop taking them once I know I'm pregnant. ## Have you discussed it with your doctor? Alcachofa is a supplement made from artichoke, so it hasn't actually been tested for possible interactions with actual drugs. Thus, I can only advise you to discuss it with your doctor, before taking it.

I am suffering from PCOD and was having irregular periods. I am taking Krimson 35 pills for last 5 months. Now the periods have regulated, but I am having very little flow as compared to what I used have. And the flow last sometimes just for a day. Sometimes I feel a burning sensation too. Is it normal? ## The change in menstrual flow can be normal, when you are taking a hormonal contraceptive, but the burning sensation is not and it may be the symptom of an infection. Have you contacted your doctor about it? ## Yes, i had, she recommended me Uriliser. But the thing is this burning sensation lasts for just a day (1st day of the periods) other days i dont feel any problem. Sometimes it feels like its an indicator that the period is going to start. Kindly suggest.

Small round chalky powder pill with Capital N on one side and possible 10 so chalky you can't idintify. ## This small white-round pill is Canadian and made by Novopharm. It's actually one of two drugs with the same imprint (both being white). If the N is very fat and looks embedded then it's 10mg of Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex), an antiestrogen drug. If the N is normal looking then it's 10mg of Domperidone (Novo-Domperidone), a gastrointestinal drug. There's other N 10 imprints but they're different colors. Novopharm is bad about ambiguous imprints; they have at least 10 different N 10 pills that I'm aware of. I hope this helps!

how long after taking my last pill will my birth control kick back in? ## There is still ongoing debate on whether or not Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim will affect hormonal contraceptives, so most doctor's advise using back up protection, until you have been done taking it for a full 7 days. However, if you are on the shot, I haven't been able to find any direct information on it, so you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Did you doctor provide any information on it?

I have taken susten from 21st to 28th day of my period. It's 3 days since I stopped taking it. When will I get my period? Thank you. ## Susten contains a form of the hormone Progesterone, which is vital to the normal functioning of the female menstrual cycle. Have you consulted your doctor? It is difficult to say when, or if, it may induce your menstrual cycle. It depends on what was causing you to be irregular and how your body responds to the hormone.

Not having Periods so doctor suggested this tablet. Still after three days of medication not having the period cycle going. ## This is a progesterone hormone and it doesn't necessarily cause your menstrual cycle to start. However, you can experience menstrual irregularities, if your body isn't producing enough of it, so supplementing it can help rectify the problem. But, in most cases, it just helps restore your natural cycle and doesn't actually force it to start. How long has your doctor prescribed it for? ## Married 15months want to concieve but iam having irreular periods hence doctor advised me to take regestrone (six tablets day0 and lynoral for three days. when I will get my period what is my chance of getting pregnant ## Even for me also doctor suggested to take this...

I need Aci-Jel or a comprable drug for vaginal yeast infection. ## Have you tried asking your pharmacist if it's available or can be ordered? From the information I've found, it can be kind of difficult to locate, because while it can restore vaginal PH, it's not usually the first choice of treatment for yeast infections. If they don't have it, your doctor or pharmacist may be able to recommend a comparable product.

Its small and has the letter N on one side and the other the number 10. The writing is in black and is not imprinted. Ive been told it was a painkiller. ## Hi dr, Information I've gathered states that the pill you are describing is Canadian and manufactured by a company called Novopharm. It's one of two drugs with the same imprint (both being white). If the "N" is very fat then it's a 10mg Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex) tablet, which is an anti-estrogen drug. If the "N" is normal it's 10mg Domperidone (Novo-Domperidone), a gastrointestinal drug. There's other "N 10" imprints but they're different colors. Novopharm is bad about ambiguous imprints, they have at least 10 different N 10 pills as far as I can tell. I hope this helps!

i am on a fixed income and cant afford my meds each month my medicaid will not pay for my estratest i am trying to find a program that will help me get it . ## I'm sorry, but the only assistance program available from the manufacturer is only for people that have no prescription coverage, whatsoever. Have you talked to your doctor about the problem? They may be able to prescribe something that is cheaper and/or available as a generic. ## Check with Walmart and ask how much the Generic Estratest cost. If you take Estratest HS (Half Strength) you can get a prescription for FULL strength and cut the pill in half. It will last two months. I would do without whatever I needed to to afford this medication. You could even check Canadian Pharmacy prices. Good Luck..

Ortho-Est worked perfectly for my body in every way then my my Pharmacy called & said it was no longer available, approx. 2003. Is some mfgr. making this original formula and what pharmacies carry it? It is the ONLY one that worked & restored my health for me. Please HELP? ## I have the same problem as above and am desparate to find a supplier of Ortho-Est. I have not had a nights sleep for 7 months and have spent R6000 on gynea's and other products which do not work. ## Unfortunately, no! It has been discontinued in the U.S. There is, however, another medication available that contains the same active ingredient, it's called Ogen, so you may want to ask your doctor about it. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been ;on tamoxifen for 5 yrs. due to breast cancer. I gained 40 pounds. Will I lose weight when I get off the tamoxifen. I am getting off next month. ## Will I lose weight after quitting taking tamoxifen for 5 yrs. I have gained 40 pounds and am getting off next month. ## Well, it's really going to depend on whether or not the Tamoxifen was the sole contributor to the weight gain, but either way a good diet plan and exercise will certainly help. Have you discussed it with your doctor? They would be best able to advise you on the safest and healthiest ways for you to lose the weight.

Is it unsafe to use Terconazole. Cream o.4 (TerAzol) after the discard date? ## Although I wouldn't recommend using any sort of medication (cream or pill) after the expiration date, I suppose it largely depends on how long it has been expired for? I located a good deal of information on this cream, provided in the link below.... ....But nothing stating the shelf life of it. The precautions on the packaging merely note the following: "Do not use if seal has been punctured or is not visible. See crimp of tube for lot number and expiration date" Since it doesn't really specify I wouldn't suggest taking any risks, depending on if it hasn't been more than a week or two. They put the expiration date on there for a good reason, so just know that it's for your own sa...
