Can anyone help? My INR is at 4.0. I'm wondering if I should skip my Plavix dose along with my Warfarin. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ## I'm not on Plavix but when my INR is that high my dr. has me hold the warfarin 1 or even 2 days. When in doubt I ALWAYS call Walgreens pharmacists, they always give me good advice until I can check in with my doctor. ## Thank you very much I should have thought of that. I'm new to this and I freak out when things go wrong. I am having a hard time staying in range. I will make that call right away. God bless, Mike

Is if anyone knows of any pm doctors that won't make me feel bad about being in constant pain. I have a great neurologist but I'm moving and won't have much time to travel.

Otherwise, you'll likely get more responses if you can post back with your general location. California is pretty big....

What condition(s) would require a dosage of 800mg. Acyclovir tabs. once or twice a day? ## How many times a day do I take 500mg of Acyclovir and how many days if I have a cold sore? ## Acyclovir/Aciclovir is an antiviral medication, so it may be used to help treat any viral condition ranging from AIDs to herpes, including simplex 1. Learn more Acyclovir details here. As to how often to take it for a cold sore and for how long, you should follow the instructions provided by your doctor. In most cases, however, it won't help much after the cold sore has already erupted. It works better at prevention and should be taken as soon as you start showing the signs of developing one.

Off white oval pill with KCM10 ## what is the Off white oval pill with KCM10 written on it?

I recently had a urine drug screen from my Pain MD and she is discharging me for taking valium. I dont take valium, but I do take XanaX, Sertraline(zoloft), Trazadone, lots of Ibprofen and Several different opiate pain killers. All prescribed from the same MD. Is it possible that one or a combo of these could false positive for Diazepam? Especially the Sertraline. Please help me!!! I will lose my job and house because I have cronic pain and the only way I can function is with these medicines. I did not take any Valium, so how is this possible. Is there a drug test that can tell between Valium & Xanax?

i notice that it may cause drowsiness...i can't remember if i should take it at night or in the am... ## should I take Metoporol at night or in the morning? ## In regards to this question, since it is asked very frequently, you really have to see when it works best for you. Normally, your doctor prefers that it be taken in the morning, so it can help control your blood pressure or heart condition during the time of day when you are most active and will normally experience the most fluctuations. Learn more Metoprolol details here. However, if it causes too much drowsiness, it may be necessary to take it at night, but make sure to check with your doctor, first.

I go to a Dr who does a monthly urin tests to make sure my script is in my system. Guess some ppl sell theirs or take other meds??? Idk? I ran out about a week ago. I took a half about 3days ago and have a half left. When should I take it so I can make sure they come up in my test? i I take 1-2 one mg tablests a day for the last year. I usually run out a couple days b4 my test but if I tell the Dr, he's OK as long as I'm honest. Since I told him last month, he upped my script to allow an extra one each day.

I have no idea how I went thru these extra so fast. I never went thru the old amount this fast. So when shoul...
