1654058 tn?1407159066 Acetaminophen has predictable hepatotoxicity and affects the liver in a dose-dependent manner. In patients with chronic liver disease who have pain symptoms, acetaminophen can be used safely in a dosage of no more than 2 g per day. That’s the equivalent of four extra-strength (500 milligrams) tablets per day or 6 regular strength (325 milligrams) a day.

Avatar f tn Stop the ibuprofen! No NSAIDS if you have a lower GFR. You didn't say your age but yes it is possible kidney function will return to normal with stopping the meds. Ibuprofen is hard on kidneys. Drink lots of fluids and I would see a nephrologist also.
620923 tn?1452915648 Interestingly, the pop up ad near this was for vitamins for withdrawal from opiates. I couldn't tell what they are. I'm sure some suggestions could be found online or right here at medhelp. I found suggestions for lots of Vit. B & C for toxicity. I did this myself for serotonin toxicity, which took much longer than any source claimed. I'm off everything except ibuprofen (but I am trying a very small dose of mirtazapine at night, to sleep).

Avatar f tn Lower back! "distinguish the stenosis symptoms from the B6 toxicity symptoms" Vitamin B-6 is needed for maintaining healthy nerves and muscle cells, and aids in the production of DNA and RNA. Too much synthetic pyridoxine, however, can irritate nerves and create symptoms.
Avatar f tn We give our dog Advantix for flea and ticks, and it works very well. We have a cat that is going to have to be and indoor/outdoor cat, and I found out Advantix doesn't make meds for cats that are tick proof, you have to buy a collar, which I don't want to do. Has anyone tried Frontline, or Pet Armor and had luck with them, or is there a even better brand?
Avatar m tn My 14 year old daughter has had three bouts of sickness, about 5 days apart over the last three weeks. She wakes up in the morning with a bad headache, about an hour later she vomits, she takes Ibuprofen and goes back to sleep and when she wakes up an hour or two later she feels fine. She has not changed her diet and she does not take any medications.
Avatar m tn try mixing a small amount 1/4 teaspoon of canned pumpkin in his food(not the pie filling, must be pure pumpkin). the lettuce and cabbage are good for him. but I'm not sure about the cactus? I doubt it will harm but I can't say for sure, most plants are safe. find a website on poisonous plants for felines, google that and see what they say. does someone else on here know?
Avatar f tn RUBBISH !!! Amoxicillin is the safest antibiotic for cats who do not have an allergy to penicillin - and very few have. Where are you getting your information???

Avatar m tn I have taken care of TWO patients in the past; one who had tylenol toxicity and the other one had ibuprofen toxicity. Both patients were going into liver failure in which was caught in time. Both thought is was ok to take more than the RECOMMENDED amount of medication. Please be careful.

Avatar f tn A couple of weeks ago I brought my cat to a clinic to get annual shots , about 10days later he developed a fever so I took him to the vet. The vet prescribed baytril and now my cats pupils are fully dilated. I stopped giving it to him in fear I was poisoning him. Now he has this awful lesion where he got the shot . The vet gave me topical cream but doesn't know what's wrong with his eyes. They are fully dialated.
801188 tn?1241647626 and yes, acetaminophen is very toxic in high doses or in those with compromised liver function, especially when used in conjunction with alcohol consumption. one of the main reasons hydrocodone dependence is so common is it's availability, as it is one of the most commonly prescribed narcotic painkillers.
Avatar f tn I have tried changing food, clean with dawn soap only and have given my cats one one of the guest rooms as their own lot's of litter boxes, toys and beds. All 4 kittens and my 3 yr old cat have diareha. My one Elvis is 7 months and has is so bad it's leaking out of him. He is in my guest bathroom and huddles over the heat vent. The vet has run every test and is stumped. Does anyone know what this is? I have tried pumpkin and it helps but the sickest will not eat it.
Avatar m tn t know how many were in there between 20 and 75 pills I will be taking her to the vet as soon as my wife gets home from the doctor. What can happen to her she acts like normal no side effects or anything just wondering if she will be Ok.
Avatar f tn I will get those tests and start looking for chelating agents. I am having trouble with my tendons in various places in my body and am currently getting KMI bodywork done. This is helping a lot. Hope to inhance her work with the detox. As long as I find the right detox agents it cannot hurt so why not try.
