Avatar n tn However, since the accidental discovery of an interaction between the calcium channel blocker, felodipine, with grapefruit juice,1 it has now become evident that grapefruit juice has the potential to alter the plasma concentrations of many medications when they are taken by mouth. In some cases, this may result in undesirable clinical effects of medications.

5954444 tn?1377473390 Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates). At home, the basic technique is to space out the pills you take on a consistent manner until you take only one at night, then half at night, than every other night and then none.
Avatar n tn I did not want to take the medicine, but realize that i did suffer from depression and other things, and for me this drug really works, and it does not make me feel high or groggy (maybe for a little while in the beginning) but it all leveled out, now looking back at my life i realize that i do need this medicine, and if i could not take the zoloft i would be trying to find something that works, that is how much this antidepressant has changed my life......

Avatar f tn HIV is only transmitted by unprotected sex or by direct exposure to blood, like when sharing needles for drug injection. It is never transmitted by razor blades in barber shops.
941118 tn?1312281926 - He says I do not need a hospital induction for this drug. He told me that in people without heart disease this is a good drug (same story I heard when I successfully took rhythmol). My questions for you guys and I guess my cardiologist on Friday. Should I try it? If I do, do I need to be in the hospital? Should I have more tests first? Is a stress echo the same as an echo? Do I need another Holter and what DOES my Holter reveal for heaven sakes???
Avatar f tn With some hiv drugs it says do not ear grapefruit as it will interfere with the drugs efficacy. Although I have not seen this on the list of drug interactions for victrelis or incevek, I was just wondering if anyone knows or has been told by their doctor not to eat them while on treatment. I have had them several times while on treatment, and would like to continue since they are so healthy for you, but I do not want to impede treatment at all.

1322157 tn?1279656681 , of the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester Medical Center, an expert on drug interactions, explains that grapefruit juice is one of the foods most likely to cause problems with drugs, because it is metabolized by the same enzyme in the liver that breaks down many drugs. The cytochrome P-450 3A4 enzyme breaks down grapefruit juice into useful components for body, just like it breaks down dozens of medications.
Avatar f tn Just looking for anymore information or advise about withdraws from Fioricet / I have been taking this medication from years from Migrain headaches, it's seemed the longer I was on it the less it helped so I would increase my doses because I could not get rid of my headaches the other day I just stopped using it because it was like just this non stop headache.
Avatar f tn I took him off the lithium thinking that was the cause because after doing research sleeping all the time was something major with that drug. I was also thinking that it could be the Coreg because they up the dose last time he saw the doctor but that has had time to get in his system and not be the problem. What I am wondering is if it could be something else with the heart causing the problem.
Avatar n tn hello 5 weeks ago i woke up to find my left eye had what i can only describe has a frosty shadow over it i left it for two weeks thinking it was just floaters no change so went to the doctors who gave me a blood pressure test found it was high and put me on felodipine prolonged release tablets 2.
1713248 tn?1308655353 Worried about new vertex drug because of the strict demands about taking the drug exactly on time or u can build up resistance to protease inhibitors. I may wait to see what other drugs come through in the next couple years. Tough decision. Alorajean, my nurse practitioner told me that it is only a 3-5 percent chance that u pass the virus to your child at birth. My son could have gotten over the years if we carelessly shared a toothbrush...it's hard to determine.
Avatar m tn A comment, then an answer. I provided the information I did in an effort to give you as much relevant information as possible because ultimately this is a decision you need to take yourself. If you stop the valacyclovir you may not have a recurrence and, in fact, I suspect you will not. I would suggest being off the drug at least a week before resuming sex, just to be on the safe side. Second, you should discuss the situation with your wife.
Avatar n tn I have a friend who is majorly addicted to oxycotin 80mg. I'm really clueless about this drug and he has asked me for help. From Friday to Sunday he's taken 16 pills by mouth or my snorting them. I don't know if this is a high dose or not, I'm really clueless. He says he's become tolerant to the medication and has to snot them now just to get a "high".
708731 tn?1229049180 There is alot of information on mixing birth control with thyroid medication. Simply, most information I came across says taking birth control meds will deplete your thyroid medication and lower thyroid function. May alter TSH testing. You may want to take a look at this old post from an expert side ( Doctor) here on Med Help http://www.medhelp.org/forums/mentalhealth/messages/30184a.
Avatar f tn I dated a white heterosexual male who is in the navy. He is a non drug user. He had been recently divorced with one child. I have always practiced safe sex. during our relationship we always used condoms except on a trip we had sex (only vaginal intercourse) about 4 times without them he never ejaculated inside me. I know symptoms arent a good way to diagnose anything but The next day after having unprotected sex with him i felt like crap. Doesnt the navy regularly screen for STDS?
1524673 tn?1327841500 Thank you Dr. Sharma, I know that my adrenal glad is damaged. Morning cortisol level very low, going in on monday for additional tests. I have not been on steriods, stopped taking them last summer. Will start again probably Monday. My neuro prescribed a drug called Cambie, which is Diclofenac potassium, although not a narcotic it totally messes me up. My neuro and my endo have not communicated yet. All of this has happened very quickly.
