Avatar f tn recurrence of PDR, diabetic macular edema, localized bleeding, localize leakage of cholesterol, large areas of ischemic retina. There is a classification system for PDR based on how many quadrants have PDR.
Avatar n tn Consult the "Blueblook" or PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) for information on the manufacturer of any drug. It's available in most libraries. But don't be surprised if they have no conversation with you. There is little other information than that which is in the PDR that they could provide you with.
Avatar f tn I was told that "more spots (laser spots/burns) may be necessary in inactive PDR due to macular edema or lipid leakage.
1672951 tn?1303944089 You have to check the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) which every drug store has. Bring your prescription. This contains every prescription medication legally produced in the United States. The druggest should not have blown you off. Locate the manufacturer from the PDR and request the druggest to order the medication.
Avatar f tn I am type 2 and have been diagnosed with PDR in both eyes. I've been getting Lucentis injections and they have improved my vision. The retina specialist said there is a new drug about to get FDA approval and he thinks it will work better for me than Lucentis. Can anybody tell me anything about this drug? And what will it cost?
Avatar f tn Your story is very common almost normal for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy PDR . First of all your FA, OCT and eye exam will not be normal. You have diabetic retinopathy almost assuredly background DR and your PDR is inactive. Laser doesn't "cure" you it can just for a time stop progression. Laser works by killing tissue and creating scars so you have laser marks and scars inside your eye.
Avatar n tn t know too much about international pharmaceuticals... but india has something called tranax. Is there any way to ID this pill? Perhaps an india PDR or something?
142841 tn?1201975052 I believe it is. You can always check the PDR for the package insert. I have not heard of any insurance issues with Infergen. Side effects are pretty rough, but if you are strong and motivated, you can do it. Good luck!
Avatar f tn My PDR states that 3 of the medications I take can cause elevated blood sugars.
Avatar n tn I have taken up to 120mg of Cymbalta and never had hallucinations and I have never heard of anyone having hallucinations caused by Cymbalta. I looked it up in a PDR and hallucinations are not mentioned, not even one case. You will probably need an antipsychotic for the hallucinations if you continue to have them even when off Cymbalta.
Avatar m tn The PDR says that after 2 weeks the dose needs to be titrated down - so YES you need to wean off
484603 tn?1209506478 is a ssri for sure I'm on it and I'm reading on my pdr right now.
Avatar m tn I was lazy and just chose the simple PDR answer! Yours was much better!
Avatar f tn You could check the book "Physicians Desk Reference" (or "PDR") for dosing guidelines, but be sure to check with a licensed physician. Also check ilads (dot) com for Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines. There may be useful information there. Also did you try searching something like "lyme disease iv rocephin dose"? Checking with an MD is important before proceeding with any such treatment. No one here is medically trained to my knowledge.
Avatar f tn that is a very informative news site....i like when you click on the PDR viewer...words are clear and precise....
Avatar f tn No. The red and white inhaler is associated with a brand name albuterol sulfate solution. They come in many colors. The color has no relationship to the severitu of the problem. I am concerned your physician provided you with this medication without explaining what it is and when it should be used. When you pick up a medicine at the pharmacy ask them for the "PDR package insert". This provides you with all the information you need about the medicine.
Avatar f tn I have been taking levothyroxine 137 mcg once a day for a couple of years. Can I stop taking it all at once or do I gradually have to get off of it?
Avatar f tn I posted on 6/17/2015 regarding my concerns over having had one episode of AFib and being concerned with the levothyroxine causing another episode. The only TSH info I had at that time was that my level was 5.6. This was taken on 5/7/2015. I just received my lab results in the mail for blood work done on 6/11/2015. She ordered at Free T3 and T4 screening on this one. In my last post you requested the results. There was no ferritin tested and my vitamin D is ok.
Avatar n tn Does anyone take Levothyroxine and if so, what do you think of it? I have heard different things. The doctor just got me started on meds and this is what he wrote. just checking on others thoughts.
Avatar m tn He was started on a 50mg dose of levothyroxine . The difference of his over all health was amazing he began to feel hungry again his breathing improved. And he was becoming more active. After about 4_6 weeks he had another repeated blood test done to check his levels and surprisingly the doctor said that his thyroid still was not functioning properly and his dose of levothyroxine was increased to 100mg. This dose made him extremely sick. Bloated . Full of trapped air. Tired and constipated.
Avatar m tn The doctor put me on Levothyroxine, and now after 3 and a half months, I have indigestion approximately 3 times a week, bloated stomach, and balance problems. Why should I take this medication when before I started taking it, I had no symtoms? Can I stop taking this medication? I'm thinking that perhaps I was born with this thyroid problem, and it was not a problem until I started taking the medication.
Avatar m tn ive missed my medication. levothyroxine for 10 days. what side affects should i experience? i feel lethargic and have been vomitting ? is this to be expected?
