Upon researching 'Mannitol', it's unclear to me how much of this they put in our medications and whether this unknown amount is generally regarded as safe (Re: fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/SCOGS). Controversially, Wikipedia notes possible serious side effects such as "worsening heart failure, electrolyte imbalances and low blood volume". Seeing some mixed information from the FDA and Wiki, perh...

Ulcers can also be caused or worsened by dru...

I have been using Roxanol rectally and lately I've had to increase my dose due to escalating pain but I've found my tolerance seems to have shot up really fast. I am taking a break as best I can, does anyone know how long it will take to get my tolerance back to where my regular dose will be effective - regret doing this very much. ## There's really no defined time frame to even guess at, it can vary from person to person, just as much as having your tolerance grow can vary. Learn more Roxanol details here. Have you talked to your doctor for assistance? Have you tried any other medications? ## Yes to both and I am trying the longer acting version for now with different break through meds, so far I think this will be better for me. Downside is it's not as fast-acting but ...
