I had a hysterectomy yesterday and also suffer from fibromalgia. Can I take melfen 400mg exprim and gerax 250mg together please ## Hello, Anto! How are you? They can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves. However, you may experience more side effects than you would otherwise, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, stomach irritation and sedation, according to the U.S. FDA. Are these the only medications you take?

I have severe chronic back pain. A neurosurgeon prescribed Hydrocodone-apap 10/325mgs tablets to be taken every 8 hours. I am finding that my pain diminishes 1 to 1/2 hour after taking one tablet. Can I take 1 tablet more often, i.e., every four hours? ## Have you consulted your doctor, or the neurosurgeon? Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin, is a narcotic opiate pain medication, so while there are times it is appropriate to take it more often, sometimes as often as every 6 hours, you should not do so, without checking with your physician. Learn more about Vicodin Details ## I agree with Verwon. Talk to your doctor. You should not increase your medication dosage without his express consent. If you find the Hydrocodone 10/325mgs isn't controlling your p...

I misplaced my cipro 500. so I used augmentin in place. is this ok? ## can ii take augmentin in place of ciproflaxin ## Hello, Based on my research, Augmentin and Ciprofloxacin are both antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections so the Augmentin could possibly work. However, since they are still two different medications, the side effects and effectiveness may differ. Have you noticed any difference after taking the Augmentin in replace of the Ciprofloxacin? Note: All thoughts and opinions expressed are those of my own and should not be mistaken for medical advice. I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist, doctor, or primary care manager.

I live in springfield gardens ny 11413. Need a pham that has m contin 15. ## There are almost always shortages this time of year, due to the mandatory manufacturing limits. Thus, you may need to see if there are any alternative medications you can use for awhile. Learn more MS Contin details here. Another idea would be to see if your insurance provider has any other preferred mail order pharmacies, since they may still have it in stock. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Can express scripts discuss my medicines with my dentist without my knowledge? What about hippa laws? ## Hello, Brdie! How are you? To my understanding, your doctor or pharmacist is allowed to discuss your medications with them and it is not a HIPAA violation, because they are a prescriber and there is a risk of interactions and etc. Thus, there is certain information that may be essential to your safe care that they need to know. In reality, for your own safety, you should tell them everything that you are taking, before they prescribe anything, as directed by the FDA. Additionally, when you see your doctor or dentist, you usually sign a paper acknowledging their privacy policies and when they will talk to another practitioner and what information will or will not be shared. Was there ...

can an 80 year old man take both cipro and sulamethozole double strength together and cause heart failure? ## Label warning say do not give Fluoroquinolones (Cipro) to elderly, but they can affect anyone. Search Facebook for Fluoroquinolone or online saferpills.org. ## Thanks for the info the doctor gave me 80 year old father both. ## It is listed to use Ciprofloxacin in caution with the elderly, not as a do not give it to them and the reason for it is due to the increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. If you are concerned about him using both antibiotics, then you should contact his doctor and express that concern. Do you know what he was prescribed the antibiotics for? ## The patient is on trimethoprim for prophylactic treatment of uti ,she is getting it every night and now p...

It has been a Godsend to me husband. who died last May. My meds for cancer and glaucoma were so costly. A fellow Navy man led us to Express Scripts. I had free coverage from the company I retired from and was paying alot above their 5% coverage for meds and doctors. I gave up that insurance to qualify for TriCare and Express Scripts and we've never been sorry. L.M. Evans

My mother is experiencing loss of memory and speechproblems can this be a side effectof nitrofurmac ## After looking at a number of credible webpages, I'm actually not finding anything relating to memory loss or speech impairment. I know these can be side effects of many prescription drugs, but in this case, not even the prescribing information for Nitrofurantoin lists such information. Is your mom taking any other medications or supplements that might be attributing to those side effects? MedlinePlus lists "excessive tiredness" as a severe side effect. I get to wondering if perhaps her speech problems could just be associated with sheer tiredness and inability to fully express her thoughts into words...In the meantime I would encourage you to help her talk to her doctor abo...

white oblong pill ## I have se vere arthritis and osteo arthritis; what is paquil ## Hi sandra stewart, I can't find any information on a medication by the name "Paquil" - Are you referring to "Paxil" perhaps? If so, Paxil (Paroxetine) is actually an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Although it is not usually prescribed for arthritis some studies have shown that this medication may be able to help with arthritis pain- very likely due to the fact that it decreases anxiety which may help with pain sensations. However, I have also read that Paxil can even cause Arthritis or joint pains so it seems as if the studies aren't that thorough at this point and time.

Omalizumab, sold under the brand name Xolair, is a medication used to treat asthma, nasal polyps, and urticaria.[5][6] Omalizumab is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized IgG1k monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to free human immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood and interstitial fluid and to membrane-bound form of IgE (mIgE) on the surface of mIgE-expressing B lymphocytes.[7] Unlike an ordinary anti-IgE antibody, it does not bind to IgE th...

Denileukin Diftitox-cxdl

Denileukin diftitox (trade name Ontak) was an antineoplastic agent, an engineered protein combining interleukin-2 and diphtheria toxin. Denileukin diftitox could bind to interleukin-2 receptors[1] and introduce the diphtheria toxin into cells that express those receptors, killing the cells. In some leukemias and lymphomas, malignant cells express these receptors, so denileukin diftitox can target these. In 1999, Ontak was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F...

Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D, normally made in the kidney.[8][9] It is also known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.
