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...

Hello. I'm from Australia and had been sorry to learn that Butesin Picrate cream was removed from commercial sale. My daughter (a registered pharmacist with Pharmaceutical Compounding exp.) recently suffered burns while she was home cooking: I said my "often quoted regret" about the cream's discontinuation. We have - between us - located the original (1%) pharmaceutical compounding instructions for it and provided it's not large scale manufacture I can arrange to put you in touch with the compounding pharmacy - only in limited supply for individuals though (like many of us who grew up with this cream in our mothers' first aid boxes!). One ingredient (apparently) had cancer-causing discussions at scientific circles... and that's part of the PR disaster that pr...

I read that bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) can help with night vision and eye strain, especially if you’re on screens a lot. Anyone here taking it regularly? Curious if it actually works or just another wellness trend.

Is anyone taking prucalopride resolor? Im just worried because since i started it four months ago, i feel very hungry all the time even 10-15 minutes after a meal. Is anyone using having the same experience? help ## I have been on prucalopride just 6 days 1mg. I do not feel hungry nor as yet have I had a result. I have CC for along time.

Its common side effects are listed as: headache, abdominal pai...

My doctor just put me on subutex along with percocet. I've been on percocet for yrs for severe and chronic migraines. He told me to take the subutex and if it doesn't work to take a percocet. I usually take 15 mg percocet at a time. I've read some stuff online that worries me. Some people say if you take percs with subutex you'll go into withdrawals. I went through severe withdrawals with fioricet months ago and I don't want to go through that hell again. I took my first subutex about an hour ago and I still have a migraine so I want to take a perc now. Can I do that or will I get sick? ## I have been taking subutex for the last month or so. about 2 weeks ago i had a terrible migraine, so I took a 10mg percocet. I went into full withdrawal. Throwing up constantly, na...

Has anyone here tried a Mullein herbal supplement? I'm curious if it really helps with lung or immune support.

My Dr said he prescribed me Vistaril for anxiety, but pharmacy filled with Atarax. The pharmacist told me Vistaril works better and faster for anxiety and the Dr wrote Hydroxyzine HCL. Should I ask for Vistaril next time or is there any difference I would even notice? Thank you very much.

My annual infusion is due this month. I need shoulder surgery. How long do I need to wait after the infusion to have it done? I am scheduled to have two dental implants at the end of June. May I presume that is far enough into the future? I am in my mid-70s and have had two infusions in 2015 and 2016. ## Had reclast infusion July 11, 2023 . Now need surgery for trigger finger. How long should I wait to schedule surgery. ## First, I'm 70 years old. After I had my 1st infusion 2 years ago, I was told by my dentist that after a year of the infusion, if I have enough bone, he can do implants. all of my back teeth, uppers and lowers, had root canals and crowns and they were all slowly breaking off. so I went for dentures, with the belief that I could get some implants that the dentures w...

I have recently received a new diazepam tablet to me, called Martin Dow limited 10mg. They come in strips of 10 per blister and are blue hard tablets with a score line on one side and the other side has 10 imprinted in it. I recently submitted some to wedinos to get them tested and they came back containing only diazepam, you can see the wedinos website reference number W010443 for the submission I made. Does anybody else have experience of these? The blisters are printed in blue stating Valium (diazepam) and from what I have read they are allowed to use the word Valium as they have licence from Roche who first developed them. Any further information would be great! ## Which pharmacy did you use to fill your prescription? ## They came from OSP; it's UKSP that I won't be using ag...

I am court ordered to be in a treatment program and found out today that I had a UA come back positive for methamphetamine. I am not a user (I smoke marijuana), I am however Bipolar 1, have high blood pressure for which I take meds for, and am being treated for Parkinson's and am in the process of being treated for cancer (skin). Long story short I am a medical mess. Except for the skin cancers, I am on medications for everything, which I take as prescribed. Is it possible for the 13 different meds combine to give a false positive on a UA? I'm sure my Probation Officer is going to ask me about it and I would like to have some 'semblance of an answer for him. BTW the concentration that showed up was not high, it was just there.

Has anyone found that just taking the two Contrave a day seems to work better for them then taking for a day?

Does anyone get bad side effects using Latanoprost eye drops? Are there any better options for pre-glaucoma? ## It makes my eyes are dry & itchy in the morning. And it stings when I apply the drops. I usually use Systane eyedrops in the AM when I get up to moisturize my eyes. My eye pressure problem has been held in check though, the last 5 years. ## Still using it until i find something better.

Is it possible that teriparatide can have short or long term effects on my thyroid? Since taking it, I've gained 20 pounds. I'm not an overeater; I exercise every day; my caloric intake averages 1200 calories a day but still the weight just poured on. Has anyone else had similar issues? My endocrinologist thinks I'm nuts and claims there is no weight gain with teriparatide... Yet here I am.

Researchers at the university of Edinburgh have a new study looking at weight loss drugs and pregnancy. This may be of interest to some people in this community. If you have had a positive pregnancy test within 6 months of taking a weight loss drug such as Mounjaro, Ozempic or Wegovy please consider taking our anonymous survey. We are keen for as many people as possible to take part and share their experiences. Link:

I've been taking soma / carisoprodol off and on for 22 years. When I first took it, I was told to take two 350 mg at bedtime, and it was too much and I nicknamed it Coma! Later I learned that when I first start taking soma after not taking it for a long time to only take 1/4 tab, or even a bit less. Later I can take more as needed, but starting out 1/4 or even 1/8th helps when I haven't take it for a very long time. Now I can't find a doctor who will prescribe it, I read as much as I could find and asked as many, doctors, pharmacists why, and they said various things, but it seemed to come down to the medicine has fallen out of favor because of abuse, "A considerable proportion of carisoprodol is metabolized to meprobamate" (from Wikipedia and that there is abuse.
