Both my daughters are prescribed liquid amoxicillin every 12 hrs. But I gave them at 9:30 pm, so the next dose is 9am... But I can't give it too them because they are at school. Is it OK if I give it too them, once they get home from school & eat dinner. I worry because my dosing time is off, will the medication, not be as effective. Please I would appreciate your insight & thank you.... ## Hello, Star! How are you? It is best taken twice a day, as prescribed, but it doesn't have to be precisely 12 hours apart. Thus, you could give it to them in the morning, before they go to school and then in the evening, before bed. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there...

My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD. He tried Zoloft and it was like someone shot him full of speed. My doctor and I discussed the possiblity he could be bipolar. He first tried him on Abilify. After two pills, he went into a manic episode so we took him off the meds. We then tried Seroquell. He took half of a 25 mg pill within two hours he was so drowsy he could not keep his head up. The next day, he was very tired and complained of headaches. He developed diarrhea. We went to the movie theater and go very upset. He was scared of the movie and wanted to leave. He sat by a big man and it made him very nervous. We had to get up and leave because he was so upset. These are not normal behaviors for him. Can he get like this after one dose of Seroquell? ## Yes, while these are not c...

My grandson was prescribed liquid Percocet after his tonsils were taken out. How much do they water it down? ## What dosage was he prescribed? It isn't watered down, per se, they do have to be careful how much fluid they mix it with, in order to maintain the stability of the medication, as well as making sure the patient gets the proper dosage. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Having tonsils removed can be very painful, so this a normal prescription that is given afterwards. Short term use of it should not result in addiction, or any other problems.

Can I use practin tablets for migraine headache?ma ## Practin contains the active ingredient Cyproheptadine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, so no, it will have no effect on a migraine that has already set in. Learn more Practin details here. There has been some evidence that it may help prevent them from occurring in young children and adolescents, but not in adults and, as I said, it does nothing once someone already has a migraine. Is there anything else I can help with?
