HI I STARTED TAKING OMEPRAZOLE40MG 11/22/13 I WONDER HAVING BACK ACHES ONE OF THE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS IF NOT I WILL CONTACT MY GI DOC. THIS WEEK. ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you doing? Sorry about the backache! No, that isn't a typical side effect. However, Omeprazole can cause some stomach pain as a side effect and if you were having a problem with acidity, that can sometimes affect the vagus nerve, which can cause pain that radiates into your back, so there are a couple possibilities as to what may be causing it. Learn more Omeprazole details here. Consulting your doctor, so they can get to the root of the problem for you would be the best idea. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I need to know what kind of pill this is, it's a oblong light blue pill with the numbers 347 on one side ## This pill is the Wal-Mart (Equate) version of Extra Strength Tylenol PM. ## light blue coated pil, 347 wroted on one side ## Cynthia is correct with her ID, a store brand of Tylenol PM, though you will find these same pills sold under various store names, not just the Wal-Mart Equate store brand. It contains Acetaminophen 500mgs and Diphenhydramine 25mgs. These same ingredients and pills can also be found in the store brands of cold remedies.

Is there any type of herb that can be used that will do the same as the ativan ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? There are some available, such as Ashwagandha, but since they are only classified by the FDA as supplements, there is no proof that they actually work, though some people swear by them. They are also not known to be habit forming, like the benzodiazepines and they seem to cause far less side effects. You can certainly try something, if your doctor approves. Are you on any other medications? ## Can you purchase this over the counter vitamin (Ashwanganda) in the health food store?

Can I drink milk with this antibiotic I just want some cereal but my mom said milk kills antibiotics. ## Hello, Cynt! How are you? Milk doesn't ruin the effectiveness of antibiotics, but it can cause you to absorb less of them than you normally would, because it coats the stomach. You can have milk and dairy products while taking it, but you should be sure to separate them by about 2 hours. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

white oblongwith 48 on one side and 93 on the other side ## This drug is suppose to be for Metformin 500MG it is a Large white oblong with 48 on one side and 93 on the other side no other writing is on this pill. I have searched Dr Watson's website for information. I went to Teva Pharm because I thought it was something they make and in the product information it is not there. I am a diabetic, but before I take a generic drug I would like to know a little something about it first. Hope you can help. ## Cynthia, you're correct - white oval tablet with the imprint 93 48 is in fact Metformin HCI 500 mg, generic for Glucophage. ## I start taking metformin ( teva. 48/93 on oval shape pill) My finger stick sugar is same it did not help at all . I start talking this med 6 days ago.

I DON'T LIKE TAKING PAIN MEDICINES AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THESE TWO ARE THE SAME OR DIFFERENT. FOR IN MY SEARCHING, THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT.SHOULD I RETURN THESE AND REQUEST THE TALACEN FOR THESE SEEM TO BE STRONGER. ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? Yes, they are different medications, though both are narcotics, but the Norco contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone. Learn more Norco details here. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. However, the pharmacist couldn't have switched it, without your doctor's approval, so you should contact your doctor about the issue. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## THANKS, WILL ...

Hi I've just had a vaginal hysterectomy six days ago and was discharged two days later and given Metrinidazole 400mg and Doxytet.I'm now having Lowe abdominal pains like menstrual pains on my left side,is this normal? ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you doing? Has there been any change? That may be a side effect of these medications, according to the U.S. FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. However, given that you just had surgery, it would be best to have this checked out to be sure that nothing else is going on.

I have been diagnosed with this about 3 to 4 years ago and have tried many treatments. Ultimately I am on CellCept 500 mg 4 a day. My concern is taking this long term. Are there other alternative medications that have worked for any of you? I don't like the long-term side effects including sudden death and cancer. Also, how will you know if you're in remission because you're on the medication? I I know I can ask my rheumatologist about other therapies, but I was just wondering if anybody had any positive results with any other medications? Thank you very much for your time. ## Hi Cynthia, I started CellCept about a month ago for MCTD with Scleroderma that has started attacking my lungs. I have been on Methotrexate before this for a couple years. The methotrexate really helpe...

I have an abscessed tooth and got an antibiotic from a feed store called Fish Pen (penicillin) 250MG. The vet said it would be fine to take it. It's an oval pill with the number 520 on it. How often, how many and how long should I take it for? ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? I'm sorry about the toothache. No, since it hasn't been specifically manufactured for human use, it may not be safe for you to take. The dosage can also vary, depending on the severity of the infection and your response to antibiotics, it can range from 500mgs twice daily up to 500mgs 4 times a day, sometimes even more. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Additionally, whatever caused the abscess will need to be taken care by your dentist, because while an ant...

Need to know what website i can order these from? ## Hi Cynthia, Because Rumoquin N.F. is not available here in the US, I think your best bet would probably be to just wait until you're on vacation in Mexico to start looking for it. That's honestly the only place I've heard about people getting it from. Perhaps you can find more specific details on where to obtain it in some of the following related threads: Discuss/Rumoquin-NF-160945.htm Discuss/where-to-purchase-rumoquin-nf-medication-203761.htm Have you looked into trying any similar medications that may be more easily available?

Hi, My name is Cynthia. And 3 weeks ago my doctor started me on Fluoxetine (prozac) and then 4 days I started taking methadone for my headaches and recently between the two I started itching badly, so I was wondering if It was the prozac or methadone? I looked up the side effects for prozac and one of them are itching, but so is One of the effects to the methadone! And it is my whole body not just one spot! Help me! Please/thank you so much ## Kittykat96, Although Prozac can cause localized itching methadone is notorious for causing full body itching that can become relentless. Methadone is a synthetic narcotic opiod and like traditional opiates it shares that propensity to cause itching. Contact your prescriber he may be able to adjust or eliminate one or the other . Hope that helps an...

300-30mg acetaminophen code in vs 5-325mg hydrocodone with acetaminophen no story please just need to know which is stronger, thank you! ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? I'm happy to help you with this question. Compared to the opiates that were derived much later, Codeine is very mild. For example, according to the opioid converter provided by Global, it takes 33.33mgs of Codeine to be equivalent to each 5mgs of Hydrocodone. Thus, while it may not look like it, if you go by the dosage numbers, Hydrocodone is actually much stronger than Codeine. The FDA classifies these medications as narcotic analgesics, so they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help...

Her BP can therefor drop dangerously low. ## I am taking 60 x 1mg Alzams and 30 Adco Zolphidem now. Will it kill me? I don't want to be around anymore

Anyone know how to safely get off eliquis and back on just aspirin? ## Hi cynthia, Depending on how long you've been on Eliquis (Apixaban) for, I think it would be wise to talk to your doctor about developing some sort of tapering schedule that reduces any risk of serious withdrawal symptoms. According to ucsd.edu, apparently Eliquis comes with a "black box warning label" regarding its withdrawals in patients with A-Fib (atrial fibrillation); with some articles stating that Eliquis may trigger a stroke if suddenly stopped. So working closely with your doctor to avoid that risk seems to me like it should be first priority. Does anyone else here have personal experience coming off Eliquis who can offer some pointers on what to expect? ## Hi Cynthia I have also come off Elequis...

I am a mother of 2 boys ages 6 and 8 who were diagnosed last year with asthma. Their allergist prescribed Advair for both. My husband and I have been shocked and appalled by the outrageous price of this medication! The inhalers cost us $600 a month. The doctor's office is kind enough to provide samples on occasion, but even with the occasional sample at this price we might as well be paying 2 mortgages. The bottom line is that there is no generic of this medication and so GSK can charge whatever they want for it. Meanwhile, hard-working people all over the country who have insurance and pay ridiculously high monthly premiums, are suffering the consequences. It is what I would call shameful. ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you children doing? Have you discussed the price problem with thei...

Imprint NO yellow barrel shaped pill ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? You mean it actually has the letters NO on it? I haven't been able to find anything that matches this description. I think it might be an over the counter product. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you.
