Saline

antibiotic related diarria and dyhydration treatment. Specially in case of clindamycin 150 mg. ## What has your doctor recommended? Saline solution may be used, in some cases, but usually these symptoms are of short duration, because they only last while you're taking the antibiotic and they don't really require treatment, unless they are severe. In most cases, someone can do quite well just by upping their fluid intake slightly, you may want to drink something like Gatorade that has electrolytes.

I accidentally put systane eye drops n my nose thinking it was my saline, is this dangerous? Should I go to doctor? ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? It would actually be more risky the other way around, since nasal drops are not sterile like eye drops. Since these are just lubricating drops, there's likely nothing to worry about, but you may experience runny nose and some nasal irritation, as reported by the FDA. Did you experience any adverse effects? When in doubt, it's always best to check with your doctor, your nearest urgent care or call poison control.

I want the pump taken out and to be put back on oral meds... Can they fill me with saline and wean me down orally? I don't want the pump filled again. I'm scared of leaks. Something has been going on and I want it out. They say they have to fill it again and wean me off. ## You have to be weaned off slowly from the pump which takes several months to do. If you are having pain you should remain on it then have the medication adjusted accordingly. Fear of having complications is not a valid concern for removing your pain pump. With the recent television reports of opioid abuse your doctor will NOT follow your request to be put on oral pain meds.. You may be seen as an abuser looking for oral pain medication ## My mom has had a morphine pain pump for over 3yrs. Just a couple weeks ...

I have copd and have had declining lung function. We tried lots if anti biotic no change this. Finally my Dr. did a bronchoscopy and saline rinse and low and behold found two bugs that regular sputum tests missed. He put me on APO-Sulfatrim DS 800/160MG 3 times a day 2 tablets. My Pharmacist is going to check the dose. Too much? ## The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Many doctors will adjust the dosage of an antibiotic according to the type and severity of the infection being treated. While it is always wise to double check, at this point your doctor likely wants to load you up to make sure these bugs are fully eradicated. Have you started taking them, yet? ## 5 hours seems like it...

I am a medical supply distributor. I need a resource that will tell me what products can and can not be sold to a Home Care Agency. Specifically we are questioning whether 250 ml NaCl (saline) can be sold to an agency for wound irrigation but other products come up periodically and we want to make sure we are handling things appropriately. ## What country are you looking for information on? Not all countries use the same drug schedules and, even with those that do, they are not identical for all of them.

difficulty breathing through my nose. No watery eyes, coughing, runny nose or other problems related to allergies. Simply can's get enough air. Problem cause slight dizziness and orientation. Use Saline Nasal spray frequentally, but get only sligh relief. ## Have you consulted a doctor? If you have had problems with allergies in the past, it is possible that your sinus membranes are swollen and may require medical treatment to try and bring them back to normal. That happened to me, when I was younger and my allergies hadn't been diagnosed for many years. Another possibility is nasal polyps, which can block the air flow and would also require medical intervention.
