Know Your Drugs

I have to take rifampin for two years. What are the side effects I should worry about? ## Hello, Tazzy! How are you? Sorry about the TB! This medication does have a risk of hepatoxicity, so your doctor should be monitoring you and checking your liver function regularly via blood panels. Its side effects may include nausea, flushing, dizziness and flu-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking blong, linoux, ethide, qpas, remylin, coxerin and hansepran tablets for treating tb. Please let me know the side effects of blong tablets.

mechanism of action ## Thank you for being there for us and for helping us in our research and to make it easy for us. ## Thank you for being there for us and for helping us in our research and to make it easy for us. ## HNBB (hyoscine N-Butyl Bromide or Hyoscine ButylBromide). My research led me to believe that Buscopan is a trade name associated with HNBB or HBB. I was unable to locate much information about HNBB as it is not in US drug databases.

I'm curious about the Lypin-10 that I got from JPEE Drugs. It's supposed to be Zolpidem. They are bright orange round pills in a blister pack of 10. ## This matches the description of their 10mg Lypin pills that are supposed to contain Zolpidem, as listed by JPee, however, I can't confirm that is what they are. That's one of the hazards or ordering from unapproved, foreign sources, there's no way to be certain of what you've received. Have you tried contacting the company you ordered from to double check? ## I have been using Ambien for years and recently received a pack of 10 mg. pills that have no marks and are BRIGHT ORANGE. Are these real Zolpidem tablets? Has anyone taken bright orange blank tablets? ## I got the same pills today, did they work for you? ## I...

Around 4 years ago our American Eskimo Spitz was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. We treated him for nearly a year for that problem through our family vet., but the medicine he was on didin't help. Finally he referred us to a specialist in Gathersburg, MD. At that appointment he was diagnosed with COPD, and the medicine he was treated with could have caused kidney failure. That vet put him on the tussigon and it does help some. The reason I am writing is because I see that several people have written in that they have the same breed of dog that we have. Just make sure that your diagnoses is correct and your dogs are being treated for the correct illness. I also see that people are having a hard time finding Tussigon.Why aren't your vets providing this for you? It is expensive, ...

My brother died after taking Stivarga for one month. I want to know how many people this happened too. ## Hi Jean, Sorry to hear about what happen to your brother while taking Stivarga (regorafenib). However, it's hard to determine how many people this could've potentially happened to around the globe as a whole. According to the manufacturer's website for Stivarga, there were reportedly 275 deaths out of 505 patients taking the drug in clinical trials. The article went on to note that severe, fatal hepatotoxicity was an underlying cause of death sometimes observed during those trials. ## My husband died after taking this drug for 6 weeks :(

Have seen two people die of drugs in advanced stages. Lied through their teeth about the extent of their problem. Kept using until reached advance stages until they couldn't make decisions to keep them out of jail due to brain damage from drugs. If you are new to this "fantastic" feeling you get, know that you will ruin your life and die from it. You will lose everyone, everything, and end up to be the person you never thought you could be. The lowest point and it just gets lower. Am waiting and worrying about a loved one dying who has reached that stage. You will not win from using drugs. STOP NOW is the only answer. And never go back. Godspeed!

Some pharmacy will not give the watson brand soma or norco if you using insurance can something be done and do target carry name brand. ## No, you get what that pharmacy gets. You can request the Brand name drug and expect to pay up to 100 X more if that is what you are asking, yet insurance wont cover it. Also the pharmacy and the prescriber will catch on that you have vast knowledge of different brands and most likely not do business with you, or cut you off. You are playing with fire. If you have the time, open the phone book and call all the Pharmacies in a 100 mile radius and perhaps you will find the brand you seek!

I had a mild heart atack and I was prescribed a cocktail of drugs, which made me feel like a zombie, I was extremely tired, feeling sick, couldn't barely walk: ticagrelor 90 mg., simvastatin 40 mg., amlodipine, ramipril 2.5 mg., eleprenone(Inspra) 25 mg. I discarded the amplodipine- why the dictors prescribed it together with the ramipril, if both do the same job and both have bad side effects? I also stopped the simvastatin- so far for a week and I feel better, but another doctor now replaced with with atorvastatin 20 mg. which I will have to start taking, but this one is also known for bad side effects and I was also prescribed a beta blocker- Egiloke 25 mg (Metrprolol tartrate) as replacement of the amplodimine. I am worried about the side effects: my colesterols levels and blood...

i have been diagnosed with glaucoma and have had reactions to all the drops prescribed so far. Is this common? ## I am curious as to what type of reaction you had. My mother in law had a very strange reaction or episode to some drops for glaucoma. She got extreme pain in her eyes, soreness on her lids. Extreme headache. She was in distress but as of this date, we have no answers. Stopped the drops of course, no answers as to whether this drop could have caused all this. Her vision is so blurry, which is another reaction. Dr. sending for MRI of brain. Pain is not in Occipital lobe of her head. Do not understand.. ## What drops did you try, and what type of reactions did you have? Most of them can cause side effects, such as eye irritation, burning, blurry vision, and headache, which is c...

Many people have no Idea that when people come into your home and use your bathrooms, or babysit your children they will look through your medical cabinet looking for pills to sell or use to make themselves feel high! The sad thing is many times it is your own kids or there friends that will break the trust and when you go looking for a pill bottle it is not there or it has been filled with aspirin Etc.. Many times we do not use up the pain pills or muscle relaxer or other pills for mental or other problems if someone has has major or minor surgery some pills will just sit, in our bathroom cabinet easy to go through in just a short time we all leave them in our bathrooms! And if someone has Cancer that will be a marked home from your kids friends to find a way to get in your home. If yo...

Black capsule ## I WANT TO KNOW MORE INFO. ABOUT THE PRODUCT ## Sorry, since this is not available in the U.S. finding information on it is difficult. Other countries just do not regulate their drugs and require as much information to be available to the consumer as the U.S. FDA does. I suggest asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. ## Is it okey for a 37 year old w., trying to get pregnant ## So far, it has no side effect to me. I started taking Sangobion due to my Anemia. I don't feel anything wrong after taking S. I think, it's been a month now taking of that black capsule daily and once a day only.

i want to know that the drugs like painkillers, paracetamol tablets and drugs used for common cold and cough ,are they allowed legally to be sold at general merchant store or in a grocery shop ## It depends what country you are in. There are several that use the Schedule K list and it is not identical in all of them, There are some countries where a narcotic like Codeine can be purchased over the counter and others where it is not. Most general medications, that are not considered controlled substances, such as Paracetamol can be sold over the counter in virtually any store. Where are you located?

I want to know information about each drug schedule ## I found a round yellow tablet with the imprints 44 403 on it and I looked it up and it said it was a 'schedule class N controlled substance'. I don't know about any scheduled or class with that. Would you please inform me on what it is? ## It says Glimepiride is a Schedule N drug. What does it mean? I am supposed to take it for my diabetes.

Hi, I am 17, and I am facing some problem since 3 months. I suffer panic attacks nearly every week. I feel heavy at my chest, and suffocated in the morning when I wake up. Whenever I feel such heaviness and suffocation it makes me dizzy and unable to walk, I fall asleep unknowingly, and the chest pain is unbearable. I showed to a doctor, and he prescribed TRIKA-0.25 and PAN-D (both are said to be schedule H drug), I am taking them since last month, and the dose is to be completed now, but my problem isn't yet solved. The interval between the pains and attacks are increased but they are still there. I hope I'll get some help here.

Has anyone established whether this batch of Orlistat is fake? I have my suspicions but as I've only been taking them for 2 days, I'm still not sure. ## An update on my original post. I ordered Xenical (Orlistat) from canada-pharmacy-24h.com and I received my order within two week. A generic drug called Co-Orly 120 was sent out to me direct from an Indian company called Combitic Global. I am very familiar with Orlistat and I know what to expect when I take it and without going into details, I realised within a few days that there was something odd about these tablets and I became pretty convinced that they didn't contain Orlistat. I also checked this site and read that others were concerned about these tablets, all had the same batch number. I then sent Canada Pharmacy a pol...
