Avatar m tn s had problems with holding her urine. At times it will just come out. She was put on a med. from the Vet. Does anyone know of a generic brand or natural one that will do the same. I can't keep going back paying office visits everytime she needs a new med.
1515688 tn?1328151024 Can you inject generic hcg (10000 units) sub-q instead of IM? Sub-q is much less painful and since I'm giving myself the shot, it's easier :-) Thank you!
Monster Hi, I have been on seasonique (generic) for over a year now. Ever since that time my body has gone down hill with a lot of things such as skin problems, nail problems, hair dryness, no libido. I was wondering if it could be the seasonique doing it?
Avatar f tn My blood work came back and I have low estrogen levels. The insurance won't cover the medication I was prescribed. Does anyone have an idea of a generic brand I can take or something over the counter?
Avatar f tn 075mcg generic levothyroxine for the past 6 yrs. I am also past menopause but continue to have hot flashes. they subside for a while but about every 3 months or so come back w/ a vengeance. i am taking various menopausal vitamins and supplelments, but those have stopped working and again the flashes are back. i am now beginning to wonder if the hot flashes are related to the thyroid and not menopause. Would taking a brand name rather than a generic drug help?
Avatar f tn Just to clarify - There are Estrace tablets (name brand and generic) that are used for systemic estrogen and there is also an Estrace vaginal cream to treat vaginal atrophy. I use the tablets. Both forms require a prescription in the U.S. I have been using the tablets since early 2013. However, after stopping the patch, I used a different form which got my estrogen level up. I then switched to the tablets which do a good job of maintaining my level.
Avatar f tn I was on a brand name HRT sequential regime for years consisting of 2 weeks of estrogen and 2 wks Of progesterone added. Them my doc wanted me to try a generic estrogen which I would Lake for three months and then add or take progesterone for a few days. When I did this and got to the progesterone part, after two days I felt weak, couldn’t think straight, had trouble walking, had vision problems.
Avatar n tn Since I wasn't familiar with penegra express, I had to look it up, and it's a generic version of viagra. I have never hear of that being used in IVF. After my embryo transfer, all I was on was progesterone and estrogen.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken over-the-counter estrogen? Did you find that it worked just as good as the prescription estrogen, better or worse? Thanks.
Avatar n tn suggested that she discontinue her birth control pill which contains 35 mcg. estrogen. The head aches occur during her period and the pill days,too. Is there a birth control pill that does not cause migrains? She was on the 25 mcg "low" estrogen pill, but she had an ovarian cyst.
Avatar f tn I went through the saliva hormonal testing and found out that I am in menopause ....... being estrogen dominant. I am taking prometrium, 200 mg at night. My night sweats are gone - but I still don't feel energized. My T3, Reverse levels are at 36 -- a little high with normal being 11-32 ng/dL. No meds were given to me on this. Do I need to be on meds to keep this stablized? And I need someone to explain the Reverse T3 to me.
Avatar f tn I have been on estrogen replacement since my surgery in 1998. I still have moderate-severe hot flashes and they seem to be getting more intense with age. I switched from oral Premarin which covered me pretty well but I didn't want to be taking pills the rest of my life. Since then I have tried a variety of patches that are really not very effective on a regular basis and very expensive. At my age, what do you recommend. Is Premarin dangerous (risk of DVT).
Avatar n tn I had Stage 4 ovarian cancer last year with great results, but I now have a "thickening" that the oncologist is watching she decided to be pro-active and placed me on the generic form of tamoxifin which it turns out I am very sensitive to, as I explained to the doctor, If I continue on this medication I will also need a flea collar. The itching is terrible, I went off of it twice now and tried to restart it again with the same results.
778044 tn?1299542934 The nurse wanted to put me on estrogen for the next couple weeks to try and build up the lining. I am on 2 mg of Estrace (actually the generic is called estradiol) which is inserted vaginally. It's just a little pill that I am supposed to put in my vagina I guess. Anyone else taken this before????
Avatar f tn Burning mouth can be a symptom of low estrogen. Are you saying estrogen makes your burning mouth worse?
Avatar f tn It is generic for estrogen. It is tablet form, and I personally have never heard of progesterone helping to build your lining, but maybe others can chime in on that?? Also, you can get your doc to try usinh viagra vaginally. It helps to build your lining. I was on 25mg of that a day, but have read that 100mg a day (25mg 4x's a day) is more of the standard. I am doing IVF, so it can be done with a thinner lining.... my lining started at 4.
233759 tn?1210476796 ) I heard a pharmasist say that the drug companies are going to stop making Armour...he said he can no longer get the generic version because the drug companies stopped making it & he believes the brand name Armour is going to be stopped too. I do know that I can no longer buy the generic equivulant anywhere. Have you heard anything about this? 2.) I feel really stupid for asking this question.
Avatar f tn I know my cash price of generic Levo for one month (back in 2008) was as low as $9.00 with no insurance from a big 'box' retailer. Shop around.
Avatar f tn HRT implant may be a good option if they will give you a high enough d5osage of estrogen especially with the first few implants since you have probably been estrogen deficient for awhile. 25 to 50 mg estrogen would seem reasonable to start.
Avatar f tn Sorry for all your troubles! I sure can relate to the problems caused by hysterectomy! Mine was 8 years ago and I still mourn the losses. Are you saying you have tried all HRT's? My gynecologist (my ex-gyn since my surgery) prescribed the highest dose Vivelle-Dot patch and it was a dismal failure. The only benefit was a well lubricated vagina yet I still had absolutely no desire for sex (still don't though).
Avatar f tn I have been taking Cryselle (thats the generic name - I think it may be the Lo Loestrin but check with you dr). I have been on it for a few years now and haven't had any problems with weight. I may get a zit here and there but NOTHING near a breakout by any means.
Avatar n tn Over the past year, the pharmacy substituted the generic for brand, which I was unaware of. I also discontinued estrogen replacement therapy during this time. when I had my TSH, T-3 and T-4 done, my levels were indicative of hyperthyroidism. My TSH was 0.04. I was extremely symptomatic with hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia etc, but dismissed it to stopping the estrogen. My ALT/AST liver enzymes are also minimally elevated. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar f tn Also my doctors prescribed me orthocyclen, because he said that has more estrogen in it since I deal with low libido and vaginal dryness, he said this would help.. Is this true? I started my first birth control pill yesterday, will this stop my period from coming ? And will it come at the end of the pack? Is it okay to start yesterday? Also is it safe to skip periods while on birth control every once in a while? Purposefully? Meaning you start another pack immediately?
Avatar f tn And yes, estrogen can stimulate any remaining endo. Some doctors say that going without estrogen for a certain period of time post-op to allow the lesions to die off reduces this risk. Others say that taking progesterone with the estrogen reduces this "endo flare" risk. Regardless of the endo issue, going without hormones can be a very miserable existence.
