Common Questions and Answers about Actonel and oral surgery

actonel

Avatar n tn Lots of missing pieces. What is the nature of the surgery, what is your medical history and what drugs are you on?

Avatar n tn I take once monthly Actonel. While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.
Avatar n tn Shows chronic sinus problems but no current infection and no need for surgery at the present time. I also do the sinus rinse and have veramyst spray. Ear, nose, and throat specialist said to keep doing what I am doing and contact him in 2 months. I also have GERD and am currently taking Nexium since last May 2007. I also just bought an air purifier to put in the bedroom as a last hope. No one seems to be able to help. The allergy medicenes such as drixoral, etc. seem to cause a cough.
Avatar f tn I have taken fosamax and actonel and have had stomach problems and aching bones. My doctor is thinking about the yearly injection of reclast. How safe is it and will I have more problems with my bones aching - I can't sleep at night a lot from the pain.

Avatar m tn Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn i am a student at the university of leeds. I study product design and for my final project i am designing a pill dispenser. would anyone feel comfortable answering a questionnaire i have designed towards people who take regular medication?
Avatar f tn I am currently 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I just had my wisdom tooth pulled out. I am a little paranoid and I know i should trust my doctor( i guess cause hes only a dentist and not my OBGYN doc) when he said it was perfectly normal and no harm to the fetus , since the infection i had would have more effect on the baby then getting the tooth pulled. But he gave me an xray before hand and also penicillen(sp?) and told me to schedule a sonogram in a week anyways just in case.
336365 tn?1213319598 My normal levels in the morning are between 79-83 and two hours after meals my normal readings are 89-95 Two weeks ago I had oral surgery and had four wisdom teeth taken out. The surgery went well, and my dentist says that I am healing very nicely and everything looks really good. Since the surgery my sugar levels have been elevated. Now in the morning my levels are 88-95 and two hours after meals its 95-120.
Avatar f tn Partial jaw disection and reconstrution with fibula free...things have only gotten worse for me...short version; I continue to have major swelling and pain on an hourly basis. And because my fibula is too thin, I live with possible fracturing. No infection at or around wounded area; however, in January, I had a low grade fever which let to a massive sore throat, dry heves....went to er, was told I had allergies, went to a dentist was told I had an abcess and cavities...
Avatar f tn I am 36 weeks today and had to have my wisdom teeth taken out everything went OK but I'm starving to death and I trued to eat ice cream as suggested and can't.
720656 tn?1311040235 You might want to ask your pharmacist for more specific directions as far as the timing of your meds. I take Actonel once a month and my pharmacist said it was fine to take it at the same time as my levothyroxine since Actonel is also supposed to be taking first thing in the morning. Don't mix meds unless you get an all clear from a pharmacist.
Avatar n tn He said that the problem was not excess fat in my cheeks but the alignment of my jaw and referred me to an oral surgeon. My concern is that an oral surgeon will notice the erosion of enamel on the back of my teeth (my four center, front teeth are all yellowed - I've seen pictures and it's nasty), know that I have an eating disorder, and then not just refuse to do the surgery but also tell the plastic surgeon.
Avatar n tn What sort of "invasive, extensive Oral Surgery" are you referring to? The more specific you are the better we can understand your question.
Avatar f tn I am taking 100mg/day of oral Cytoxan for Vasculitis and am really losing a lot of hair. I have been on it for 4 months and will probably be on it for another 4 months. This is the 2nd time I have been on a round of Cytoxan, but the 1st time (20 years ago) my hair just thinned a little. This time it is really coming out. I was under the impression that taking Cytoxan orally did not cause significant hair loss. Has anyone else had experience with oral Cytoxan and hair loss?
Avatar n tn You don't give your age, other problems like diabetes, high BP, CAD, and what other medications you are taking, so it's difficult to respond. I'm not a health professional. However, I have a PFO as does about 1/4 of all people, have moderate MVP and work out daily, and don't have the symptoms you have. I'd be very careful about having a procedure that may not be needed.
Avatar n tn I have started mega doses of supplements and calcium and D and excercise and I want someone to tell me that that has worked for them. Most comments I get is to take the drug because it's more effective. I can't believe everyone is taking bisphosphonates or other drugs like that. Please let me hear from you if you see this!,,, Thanks, and hope you are doing well!
1480441 tn?1287706112 Is it safe for me to go under anethesia and have oral surgery with my heart condition? They will be pulling out 15 teeth at once. Any responses are greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn Long story short, I received oral from a female (I'm male). I had a test at 8 and 11 weeks (both anti body tests). I have read this forum quite a bit and see that you guys say 8 weeks is conclusive for anti body tests but I had all of my wisdom teeth pulled and just wanted to make sure that wouldn't have changed anything and that I can trust both 8 week and 11 week tests. I have read about people on imunosupresive drugs and chemo taking longer to test positive.
Avatar m tn I need to have my wisdom teeth removed and will be under deep anesthesia. I have HSV and take valacyclovir daily but would prefer not to have that known by the surgeon for personal reasons. I understand it is best to always tell them all medications, but is there any chance of an issue with the meds (or HSV) and surgery? Other than maybe a flare up? I'm mostly concerned about serious interactions/side effects.
222267 tn?1253302210 Yes there could be an effect and certainly an interaction with your current medications. Make sure the oral surgeon and all doctors involved are aware of your full prescription regimen and go through any potential interactions as well as voicing your concern of any of them worsening mania or depression.
Avatar f tn food, smelly wind, sore bowels, itchy nd burning bottom. Iv put lots.of weight on and have bone and joint pain 24-7. I feel original symptoms were due to emotional problems and depression not being treated, my doc is not interested in.helping cus of budget cuts, I'm.
Avatar n tn He wants me to see a rheumatologist but an available appointment will be months away. I am 75 and have been on Vytorin for at least 5 years as well as Actonel. My bone scan last year was good for someone my age. What should I do while waiting to see an arthritis doctor? How serious could this be?
Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.
Avatar f tn I have oral herpes. I need surgery on my wrist. Will having oral herpes pose complications with any surgery? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/245765'>Herpes of the throat?</a>.
Avatar n tn Prior to this incident I rarely brushed my teeth and but I have no oral problems . And I do not think I had any cuts in my mouth. I know I shouldn't be worried but, I need re assurance that I had no risk.
