I took two extra strength Tylenol at 11:00 am. How long would I need to wait to take a Percocet 5? ## Hello, April! How are you? You should wait about 8 hours, according to FDA guidelines, you should not exceed 1,000mgs of Acetaminophen in any 8 hour time period and no more than 3,000mgs in 24 hours, otherwise, you increase your risk of liver damage, or failure, which has the potential to be fatal. They also want that Percocet carries the risk of being habit forming. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is metronidazole pills safe to take after 5 years old? Coco just need to know... ## Hello, Coco! How are you? They do not become dangerous, once expired, but it does lose effectiveness over time, so after 5 years, they are most likely not worth taking. Taking them could also create the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I am taking flexeril for miscle tightness in gace, just noticed warning about heat stroke, does that mean I can not use heating pad for pain issues? ## Hello, Debbie! How are you? No, that means that you shouldn't be out using a sauna, or a tanning booth, or spending a lot of time in the hot sun. This medication may make you more susceptible to such extreme temperatures. The FDA classifies this medication as being a muscle relaxant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. When using a heating pad, just be careful that you don't start to feel overheated and try not to leave it on too long.

last year i broke out in hives so the dr. proscribed hydroxyzine hcl 25 mg. . I broke out in hives again wanted to take the pills but they expired in march 2012 is it bad if i take them . ## Hi Peggy, According to Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after the expiration date. But the question is whether the drug you have kept happens to be one of these drugs from the study... (I have...

The bottle says expiration 2012 but my Dr appointment isn't until January 16th can I still take this for a vaginal discharge ## Hello, Dom! How are you? Medications tend to lose efficacy, once expired, so it may not work as well as it did, when it was new. As to the discharge, it depends what is causing it. This is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic, so it is not appropriate for all vaginal infections. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, stomach burning and cough. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a bottle of metronidazole that expired June 2016.

I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check such information to be sure. Have they all been prescribed for you? You may experience more intense side effects, which the U.S. FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and stomach pain.

Hi, I have ex-stream pain under my rib cage, just did cat scan and won't be able to see dr. till monday, I can't sleep and in constant pain day and night, can I take together gabapentin (I take for my neuropathy daily) and Naproxen for shoulder inflammation and hydrocodon-acedaminophen 5-325 or even Tramadol 50 mg tablets and be safe for the pain? Thank you ## Hi tcats, Sorry to hear about your level of pain. From what I could gather, the Naproxen should be fine. However, according to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are drug interactions listed between the combination of Gabapentin and Hydrocodone, stating that taking the two together may decrease Hydrocodone's effectiveness. They don't go into any specific details determining why this is the case, but you ...

Everytime I get flu I use purbac as it helps with my cough otherwise if I take a cough mixture I develop bronchitis. I been hiv positive for 23 years now. Is it a good thing to take it or not ## Since you're HIV positive, developing an infection, even just bronchitis could be very risky, so most doctors do prefer to prescribe this antibiotic as a preventative. Thus, it should be okay to take, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I complained to my doctor that although I used to loose weight easily this is no longer the case. She wrote me a script for one month supply of Tenuate, saying that this would assist me. As I am a believer in proper diet (healthy food) and exercise I am frightened to use this script. How safe is it if taken for a month and are there any foods, drink or tablets that cannot be taken during this period? Especially as I am a migraine sufferer yet even then do without medication unless it is impossible to carry on without.Thanks. ## Today is 1 week since I sarted & I have lost about 11lbs. already.

I take 5mg of oxycodone about once a day for a TKR, I don't normally mix drugs and alcohol but I was bored so I waited 16hrs before I had 3 mixed drinks, each mixed drink I had was in a tall glass with less then a 1/4 of hard liquor and a lot of ice and to the top with pop and it took me 5hrs to drink 3 drinks and now its been 5hrs sense my last drink so how long do I have to wait to take a 5mg of oxycodone and no I didn't get a buzz from the drinks and I'm still myself (normal). ## Brenda, It sounds like you already know the answers, you're just looking for permission to justify imbibing and ingesting a powerful narcotic opiate/opioid.

Yes, Nadja and Addeth, both of these medications are generally considered to be safe during pregnancy, but you only take them, if a medical professional has told you to do so.

If fentanyl is 80 times stronger than morphine would you consider it safe to drive and work on the 50mg fentanyl mylan patch? ## I would not consider this safe. And I'm sure your Dr, and the local police would agree with me. A friend of mine was recently stopped by the local police. He is on dilaudid for chronic back pain, he got a DUI. Be careful and don't take dilaudids and drive. ## It's a 50 microgram patch, not 50 milligrams, because it is very potent. That said, it is usually best not to drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in any activity that requires optimal mental alertness, when you first start taking any new medication, until you are aware of how it affects, since it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and sedation.

I take Melatonin - Usually half a 3 mg. pill each night. I had such bad insomnia and this is really a miracle. I read this article outdoorlifereviews.com/sleep-products/is-taking-melatonin-safe and it was really speaking to me. All I read makes me know it's safe but I just need some reassurance - since I love it so much ## HI, Pat! Glad that it's helped with your insomnia. While Melatonin is generally considered safe and is classified as a supplement, what you do have to remember is that it's actually a hormone. Thus, only proper use is safe and even that could cause some problems for some people. If your doctor has said it is safe for you to take and you're not having any other issues with imbalanced hormones, it most likely is safe for you to continue, but you still ha...

My daughter is 16 and 125 pounds and having a horrible time with allergies and had terrible headache! Is it safe for her to take 2 Claritin10 at once? Was wondering if higher dosage would help or hurt? ## Hello, Marie! How is she doing? Actually, rather than doubling up, you should take her to her doctor. They may be able to prescribe something that would work better for her than the Claritin. The headache could also signify that she's developed a sinus infection, which could require an antibiotic. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, headache and non=allergic skin rash.

I have a severe toothache..took one tablet about an hour and still in pain..has helped a little but still unbearable..is it safe to take another one or do I have to wait the 3 more hours as directed? ## Dear JIK, obviously we r suppose 2 take our prescriptions as directed. But, if u did take 2, it would be up 2 u. I take 2 all the time, and, so do many other people I know. ## @JIk, Cats68 makes a good point. While taking more than prescribed is generally not recommend, the decision would be solely up to you. I recall some past experiences where I used to take an extra one if I truly felt it was necessary for my own peace of mind during a moment of intense pain. In my opinion, the only thing to serious thing to watch out for is having too much Acetaminophen on a regular basis. They actua...
