Has anyone had the problem with linzess changing the structure of their hair. My hair wish shopping and healthy when I started taking linzess. ## Hello, Pam! How are you? Almost any medication can cause problems with the growth of your hair and nails, since they are fed by dead cells in our body, thus anything that could affect our cells, can cause problems with our hair and nails, according to NIH studies. Other side effects as listed by the FDA may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, bloating, and diarrhea. One of my blood pressure/heart medications has caused my nails to become very brittle, so they crack and break very easily. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi I have been taking a few months & starting today I'm done !! Texture change & drier & ...

Hello. I am hoping someone can give me an idea of how much I'll have to pay per month to start taking Ozempic? I have BCBS insurance but has anyone tried to buy Ozempic without insurance using the savings card? If so, how much did you have to pay? I really need this medicine so I can get healthy again. ## If you go to a private drug store, ask the owner if they can get it for cheap. I did. ## Do not take this if you are not diabetic. THEY need these meds. But if you have to pay cash, AAA gives a really good discount at chain pharmacies. My $90 meds became $30 but CVS told me someone’s $900 dog meds became $90 with AAA. If your pharmacy is not used to processing these you might have to go to the AAA website to look at the discount card to get the bin number, but a lot of the ch...

I just started Ozempic today and forgot to count to 6 after injecting the needle before removing it. Did I still get my dose in me?? ## Definitely not. ## Has anyone used their Ozempic after it froze? My whole script froze..7 weeks worth. It defrosted and looks OK... The warnings seem a bit dire, but my chemist said it might just lose some of its efficacy? Anyone taken it after defrosting? ## Can you still use your Ozempic if it was delivered hot? Medicine was very hot, ice was thawed, temp here was 95. ## Hi, I don't feel the needle in my skin at all (no pain or anything). Does this mean I am not getting a dose of Ozempic? I pinch the skin on my stomach or thigh and push the needle in but don't feel anything. Is it the same for everyone else? ## I think I am on week 13. I have ...

I had been on ozempic for diabetes for about 18 months. Great results! Low side effects. A1c down to 5.6, cut my insulin in half and lost 60 pounds! I was also basically immobile for any distance more than 100ft., on O2 for 24hrs a day and unable to do anything more than light care for myself. After losing 60lbs I am able to do most things and no longer need O2. My life has been transformed! Ozempic has been hard to get, due to demand and I was changed to truelicity. My insulin need increased and I was hungry. Very hungry! I quickly changed back to ozempic and my pharmacy said they should be able to supply at my level of 1mg dosage. My husband retired, I went on medicare with a plan G, and rx coverage thinking medicare would cover some. I used the last of my ozempic in December. I am un...

My husband has been taking this med for a virus. He will eat something small before taking b/c it upset his stomach. Shortly after taking he will get hiccups that will last for awhile. Can this med cause this and should he keep taking? ## First of all, Cephalexin is an antibiotic, so it is only effective against infections, it will not do anything for a virus, since it's not an antiviral medication. Did his doctor prescribe this? That is why antibiotics cannot be used to treat cold or the flu, because they are caused by viruses, not bacterial infections. Using them inappropriately causes the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. As to the hiccups, it is probably because they can cause some gas in some people, if he is taken it with small amounts of food and gulping a flu...

First month started with 5 mg. Just started the next month with 7.5 mg. Lost 14 pounds. Used to take 3 meds total. Now just once/week Mounjaro injection and Jardiance 25 mg daily. Morning sugars 120. ## That's awesome! So very glad that it's working so well for you. Have you experienced any of the side effects the FDA warns about, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or stomach pain? Ref: Mounjaro Information ## I just started on Monday and so far I have had no negatives happen. Wondering if I'm in the right spot? I'm looking for an active forum dedicated to Mounjaro? ## Hi, I’ve been on a 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro for 3 weeks. This is for weight loss, not diabetes. Down 16 lbs but 10 were in the first week.

There are often generic brands coming and going on the market. So, I am asking peoples experience with current generics in the U.S.A. for Armodafinil? Compared with each other, with the name brand, or the online generics since they are available to any one Due to insurance company I have to use goodrx.com to get my discount. But don't know if the lower prices at pharmacies they list apply to bad generics that don't work well or not so trying to see how much I need to spend to get a good brand. My prescription right now goes for $66 to $711 depending on the pharmacy. Figure this info will be beneficial to to others as well. And haven't found a thread yet with a good number of comparisons. Reasons I mention U.S in particular is because we don't know if products in other co...

I suffer from Meniere's disease. I took Triamterene for a week and both times when I took with Meclizine, I had either a vertigo attack and last night I fainted. Does anybody know any interactions between these 2 medications? ## Hello, Antonio! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these medications, but it is always best to double check to be sure. The vertigo and fainting may be due to the Meniere's itself, according to the NIH, it can cause those symptoms, in some people that take it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi: My doctor just prescribed Triamterene for my dizziness and possible Meniere's or vestibulary migraine and I also take meclizine when needed. My blood pressure is at the lower end. Maybe this is why Antonio fa...

I filled a prescription for 30 Zoplicone tablets from HAB pharmaceuticals. Arrived today. No package, just 3 small blister containers. Paid £20 in postage. They are bright blue and I now feel nervous about taking them. Can anyone let me know if they have taken these tablets, and importantly are they genuine? ## Hello, Mabel! How are you? Are there any markings on the tablets? How about on the blister packaging? ## Hi Verwon, They did not come in a box, however the markings on the bubble pack are:Mfg Lic.No KD-296 B.No.330-04MFG.AUG2013 exp.JULY 2016 M.R.Ps.38.00 10 TABS.

Please give me a list of doctors that will prescribe me xanax?

I have been taking Sitara M 100/500 after breakfast and my postprandial (pp) level is doing very well. I take Glucophage 500 mg SR after dinner, but my fasting level is around 120 or 125. Can I discontinue Glucophage and just take Sitara M 100/500 in the evening? Kindly advise. ## I have been diabetic for 10 years. I take Sitara M 100/500 mg after breakfast and Glycomet 500 mg SR after dinner. My fasting level is 132, and my post-lunch level is 161. My physiotherapist has asked me to take half of the Sitara M 100/500 dose at night as well. I am just hesitant about two things: first, whether Sitagliptin can be taken twice a day, and second, whether there will be muscle loss because an additional dose of Glycomet may lead to further muscle loss. What should I do? Is there any harm in taki...

Two sets of numbers on same side of pill. 44 on top then 168 on the bottom. ## Hello, Lyssa! How are you? I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find a listing for this, so far. However, I can tell you that tablets with the 44 followed by 3 additional numbers are all over the counter products, so I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this one? ## Dramamine has the same imprint.

Hello all, I usually am given the GREEN #98 833 1mg clonazepam, but when I filled px today, she gave me the BLUE v2531 1mg clonazepam. Could someone please let me know which are known to be better? Thanks ## There is really no way to say which one is going to be better for you. It can vary from person to person, which one works well for you, may not be the same for someone else and vice-versa. They both contain the same medication, in the same dosage, but there can be slight fluctuations in the amount, as well as differences in the inactive ingredients. The only suggestion I can make is trying them and seeing how well they work for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## All I can say is that I am prescribed TEVA 833 1 mg. and I don't feel a thing. I posted a question about ...

Hi is there a specific product in the market that I can use to stop my stilpane addiction???? ## Hi sherry, From what I've read, Stilpane contains 370mgs of Paracetamol, 185mgs of Meproamate, and 8mgs of Codeine. And if you have been taking them everyday for an extended period of time, there are actually two possible problems you should be aware of. This first is that Codeine is a narcotic, so it can be habit forming and addicting. A sudden cessation of it, in such instances, may cause serious withdrawal effects, such as fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. However, the most concerning ingredient for those with an addiction to the medication, is actually the Paracetamol. Based on my research, long-term use of just regular amounts can still cause liver and kidney damage. That said, it...

Active Ingredients: -Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.05% -Clotrimazole 1% -Gentamicin Sulfate 0.1% Dosage Form: Tube Ointment Manufacturer: Collins Productos Farmaceuticos Availability: Mexico ## is it ok to use on burns ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs. The only thing I can suggest is that you try asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. ## One product we found is called Gelmicin, a topical antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal. These products are normally sold separately in the US, whether for i...
