I read in a medical newsletter that fermented wheat germ sold under the name of Avemar , also avaialble from amazon, is able to reduce all types of tumors, at least in the laboratory as described in 34 different publications of which I read the summaries. I read one publication in detail. Does anyone have any experience with the fermented wheat germ, or know of anyone who has taken it? I did read the reviews on amazon, some postive, others negative with respect to problems with shipping (did not arrive cold) ## @Louisa, I've also done research on fermented wheat germ extract (Avemar) and while I haven't personally taken it, a lot of reviews do come across as being positive; not to mention all the studies published online as well. Probably worth giving a shot if you or someone yo...

White oval pill with rph on one side and 121 on the other. This is a Canadian drug - I don't know if things are different in the US. ## Some are different, some aren't, so it can vary. This tablet in particular contains 300mgs of Ratio-Irbesartan, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. Ratio-Irbesartan details and description can be found here. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is the proper awy to stop using Irbesartan 121?

Hello. I am 16 months post epclusa and feel worse than when I started. I was a server for over 40 years. Full of energy. Then hep c happened. I had epclysa for 12 weeks. Now I am in bed most of the tune from no energy. My ears are ringing. I feel deflated. Anyone else feel like this? My hep c nurse waived off my complaints. ## Hi Kathleen, I really feel for you, I finished Epclusa a year ago and like you I've had so many side effects l can hardly walk most afternoons due to leg joint pain. I get exhausted so easily, nausea, numb toes/fingers; probably a circulation problem. I did not have any of these problems pre-treatment. I've also got Edema on my legs and my stomach is really swollen. I feel so uncomfortable and unbalanced. If I mention this to the hep C liver people they ju...

How does Aurobindo Zolpidem differ from the Torrent Zolpidem? ## It is my personal opinion that Torrent works much better, I've been taking zolpidem for many many years so I consider myself an expert of sorts. When they give me the Aurobindo brand sometimes it doesn't work at all. ## They are just manufactured by different companies. Some people notice a difference, like John said, but most people don't. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, severe sedation, hallucinations, lucid dreaming, and sleep actions. Ref: Medline Plus Can anyone else chime in with their experiences? ## YES! Made my insomnia so much worse. ## I agree. Aurobindo sucks. It often doesn't cause me to sleep and when I do sleep, even if the Aurobindo...

The pill is round, larger than an asprin, red with Z imprint. What is it? ## May be for schizophrenia. Im trying to find out for sure myself, but have reason to believe thats what its for. ## It actually sounds like you might have found an Acetaminophen tablet, which is a generic for Tylenol, it is used to treat headaches, fever, and body aches. The one that is red with the Z marking is manufactured by Leiner Health Products and they list it as containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Says could be a generic Tylenol. Is there a way to send a pic ## No thanks. That is all I needed to identify the pill. I was going to take it for pain but didn’t know what it was. Thank you

It was filled from a pharmacy in Tijuana and has no numbers anywhere but has the 3 scores on both sides. Seems to work for me but I want to make sure it's actual Alprazolam. ## I have the same pills, I get my rx filled from Mexico as well. I doubt they're bad, they just might be generic? My other friend who has a prescription & gets them here in AZ had a different type. She let me compare hers to mine & they work the same in my opinion. Hers are 1 mg & mine are supposedly 2 mg. I always take half of mine because a whole one makes me super drowsy. Hope this helps :) ## I think they're called Rafil, we see them a lot here in Laredo (it's a border town). They're still Alprazolam, just from out of the country. ## It's just a generic version. You see them ...

Hello, I am 7 years out from Epclusa. When I first started taking Epclusa, it was very frightening. Every time I took the pill, for the next 12 to 14 hours, I felt like I was being poisoned. It was hard for me to understand how something so wonderful could make me so sick. I started losing my hair, my memory, my will to live. I took it for 90 days (one pill a day) and it was hell on Earth, but it worked. I had liver cancer a year ago. It was operable and I feel that I would not have lived this long if it wasn't for epclusa. If you start taking it and you don't feel well, just stick with it because I am living proof. It got rid of my hep c and I would go through it again if I had to. It's a wonderful drug and I'm alive I feel because of Epclusa.

My wife is 75 years - her blood pressure reads 211/97 with Pulse B&M of 60. What effect will Bilocor (Bisoprolol) 5 tablets have on the above pressure counts? She is using Amlodipine 5 tablets - 1 per day.

Anyone come across these in the UK? Loghman's Diazepam 10mg, 20 in a tray. Made in Iran. ## Hi. Has anyone tried the Loghman diazepam 10mg? They are blue (same as English colour) same size and come in strips of 20. I've had them a couple of times and think they are pretty good. They are made in Tehran, Iran and they look professionally made, press, etc. I can't find them on wedinos so thought I'd put a post on here. I've got nothing but good feedback on them, and feel they are correctly dosed (if not stronger). Anybody else had these? ## They are on Wedinos and test for Diazepam, nothing else. I only asked today if anyone tried them. On another site I asked people's opinion, and two people said good, one said underdosed. I haven't tried them yet. At the momen...

I found 4 year old expired oxycodone in my medicine cabinet and I would like to know if its still safe to take? I don't know much about medicine so I'll just write what the label says: OXYCODONE W/APAP 5/325 TAB MCK subsituted for percocet and the pill has a 512 stamped on it? ## If you are asking if it becomes dangerous as it ages, the answer is no. It does not, however, these medications will lose potency over time, so it may no longer work as well as it did when it was new and may have no efficacy left at all. Taking more, to try to relieve pain can be dangerous, since these also contain Acetaminophen and too much of that can be toxic, to the point of being fatal. The wisest idea is to properly dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription if you need help with p...

I have acute back pain and looked to buy some 20mg oxycodone online. Found expressmedsuk.com and introduced to Yashina on WhatsApp. Paid for 60 tablets using PayPal friends and family (their insistence) so no refund possible despite reassurances that I would get the product in two days. The next day I got a panicked series of texts and phone calls saying I had to pay an additional £65 for insurance. I declined as I had already paid for carriage in my original payment. That’s when it all went quiet. So I’m out of pocket - no painkillers and a scam site expressmedsuk.com getting money for nothing. Their website looks very glossy but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Avoid at all costs and spread the word.

I need to know the inactive ingredients because I'm allergic to talc. I had a reaction which is low blood pressure, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and feeling very tired. Unable to walk. On a patient with heart failure. The did well with the aid of another water pill. ## The inactive ingredients for Zaroxolyn 2.5 mg are listed as: - Magnesium Stearate - Microcrystalline Cellulose - D&C Red No. 33 NDC: 53014-975 What you've reported sounds like some of the possible side effects of this drug according to DailyMed: dizziness/lightheadedness, drowsiness, fatigue, weakness. And just to confirm - you are taking the brand name and not a generic form, right?

Has any one had success with the use of Zonisamide for pain with fibro and if so how long did it take ? Been on one week am at 300mg and do not have any relief yet. ## Zonisamide is another one of the anticonvulsants that's been shown to help some people with certain types of nerve pain, however, it is not actually an analgesic, so it can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full effect in your body. Has anyone actually used this medication? ## I had disabling fibromyalgia about forty years ago, just before it had a name. It was misdiagnosed as muscle spasms and pinched nerves, which I immediately knew were wrong. My husband had been trained in pharmaceuticals by various companies and managed several pharmacies for his physician brother by that time, so he was no dummy when ...

I have small white pill with 54 733. I know it's Morphine but is it extended release or immediate? And can I break in half or even fourths? In a lot of pain right now and I am at work.

Yellow and white capsules. contains Dexametasona 375 mg Monofenilbutazona 200 mg Hidroxido Aluminio 60 mg ## Dexamethasone is a cortico steroid that is used to treat swelling and pain.

The Aluminum Hydroxide is used to help reduce the acid produce by the stomach, which basically helps prevent stomach damage in this medication from the NSAID.

I accidentally swallowed 16 Mgs. buprenorphine instead of under tongue. Will it work? Should I take more now? ## No, you should not take more, without your doctor's approval. The only difference between using it sublingually and swallowing them is that it may take longer to enter your blood stream, swallowing it will require about 15 to 20 minutes for it to start working. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What should I do if I accidentally took one

I started taking Eliquis a few weeks ago, my biggest complaint is insomnia! Anyone else have the same problem and if you did, what did you do, what did you take to fall asleep? I've tried Tylenol PM - seem to have to take 2-3 to fall asleep. My doctor suggested Melatonin, I bought the 10mg, that didn't work either... Any suggestions? ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. Has there been any improvement, yet? Most side effects are transient and will go away in time, once your body gets used to a medication, but that can take 4 to 5 weeks. As reported by MedlinePlus, other typical side effects for Eliquis may include nausea, headache, trouble breathing, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. [1] Have you tried avoiding caffeine an...

I found some white oblong tablets that are blank on both sides and I am trying to figure out what they are. Can anyone help me? ## Can you tell me what a white oval pill blank on both side is ## It is hard to determine what an unmarked tablet contains. Under current FDA law, all manufactured prescription tablets and capsules are required to have a unique imprint to enable their identification. Thus, there are 2 options for an unmarked tablet, it is either an over the counter product, or it is a foreign medication. Do you know anything else about its origin? ## Could you tell me what they are for? ## Mine were zinc; usually blank pills are vitamins but I don’t want to miss speak for yours. To be certain,perhaps your pharmacist may definitely know.

I'm looking for the old formulation of Actifed. Are there any countries that still sell it? I know you can use it to make drugs, but it's the only thing that works for me (and it helps me sleep too). I would not have ANY problem having the FBI at my house if I could get some. They'd be sitting on my shelf just exactly like my 16 bottles of shampoo, 42 bars of soap and 18 boxes of bandaids (I'm not a hoarder, I just hate running out of stuff...and stupidly, before that stuff went away, I didn't buy a ton of it). The stuff they sell behind the counter is a reformulation....it's different. ## Actually, Janet, those are the ingredients in the new formulation. The original Actifed contained Pseudoephedrine and Tripolodine. Ref: The new formulation [NDC 27854-119] con...

Will Chlorhexidine cause a drug screen to be negative for anything? I went and it said there was a faint line for Suboxone. Please help me. ## I did a drug test for probation and it said that I tested positive for alcohol so they sent a test out and it came back positive. Is this due to the chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% oral rinse? ## I had a positive for cocaine and never used it. I was wondering if chlorhexidine gluconate would this cause it to be positive? ## This just happened to me also. Please get back to me!! ## Was this ever answered? Please important ## Can you answer please? ## It shouldn't, but with an antiseptic rinse who knows how it could throw off tests. Be sure to let your doctor or the lab know that you are currently taking this. ## If there is a chance of a false p...
