Avatar f tn Would it be safe to use this unopened bottle as I have read that most medications are really good for 5 years after expiry and drug companies just put the expiry dates on so people will throw them away. I had my cataract surgery January 2011 so it is completely healed but I still have inflammation so I need to keep taking Voltaren eye drops.
Avatar f tn I am supposed to start Raloxifene. This may cause hot flashes. If severe enough, dr will rx Effexor to treat flashes. I have been reading such negative information about the side effects of Effexor, and even worse, the are withdrawal symptoms if you have to get off of it. Is there anyone reading this that actually had to take effexor along with Raloxifene? If so, could you tell me please if you had a good, or bad experience? Thank you for any input.

394052 tn?1203100849 less evidence was found for raloxifene. the USPSTF found good evidence that both tamoxifen and raloxifene increase the risk of thromboembolitic events (stroke, DVT, PE). they found that tamoxifen increases the risk of endometrial CA. the USPSTF recommends screening for colon CA starting at age 50 in men and women. earlier screening recommendations depend on the patient, family history and medical conditions (ie they are different for conditions such as ulcerative colitis, etc).
Avatar m tn Thanks for the reply! Still curious about any micro holes which could start forming after the expiry date? Or that's not the possibility...its just the risk of breakage after the expiry date?
Avatar f tn Aside from radiation, you can ask your doctor about other breast cancer risk reduction strategies such as that of hormonal treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene. Other breast conditions that may increase the risk of invasive cancer would include DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Regards.
Avatar f tn Use of Raloxifene is intended to decrease the risk of osteoporosis and to decrease the risk of invasise breast cancer or to prevent invasive breast cancer from retuning in women who have had invasive BC. If you have questions or concerns about using it, it would be best to discuss them with the physician who prescribed it. Best wishes...
Avatar m tn The expiry date on the bottle says 01-2011.. Is this bad that I used the eye drops three weeks after it was suppose to be discarded? I only used three quaters of the bottle. I paid a little over fifty dollars for this little 5 mL bottle.... But what can you do....
Avatar m tn As you used a condom and as it did not break and as the condom was used with the expiry period, there is no risk of HIV. However are you sure the expiry period of the comdom is in 2014 as you say you got it 3 years ago?

Avatar n tn I have been told by Oncologist that have 5 times risk factor for breast cancer. Am on raloxifene. Last nite I noticed some dimpling on the biopsied breast abt 1" from incision scar. Just had a manual exam by the Oncologist and don't want to seem like a hypochondriac, but should I see him again. He felt nothing during manual exam, but the lump that was removed was not palpable either and only detected by mammo.
Avatar m tn before I do so I was told that was purchased years ago.whether it is within the expiry date?
Avatar n tn Hello, it depends how it is stored; unopened and in a cool and dry place. There is usually an expiry date on the vial. Other than that it should be used within a certain time after opening - probably 1 month.

Avatar m tn Hello, My heart slows down, sometimes very pronounced during a slow and deep exhalation. It seems that the expiry stimulates the parasympathetic nerve, which itself acts on the heart rate by reducing it. Is this the fact you too ?
Avatar n tn Other forms of treatment post-operatively would include additional radiation therapy, or hormonal treatment with Tamoxifen or Raloxifene. All of these additional treatments are aimed to lessen the chance of recurrence as well as prevent the future development of frankly invasive cancers. Regards.
Avatar n tn Hi I'm a female living in the UK and me and my boyfriend have just started having sex. We always use condoms but I'm really worried because once we used a condom that was near it's expiry date. It was not very weak and we didn't use it for long and after I checked whether it had broken and it hadn't. BUT I'm still worried bcos it was near it's expiry date. He did not ejaculate at all while using the condom but there still might have been traces of precum.
