Common Questions and Answers about Actonel monthly dose

actonel

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.

1139187 tn?1355706647 ll let you know the results when I get them. I am also taking Actonel 150mg monthly for the osteoporosis. As far as side effects, I have not experienced any in any form. Everything appears all right down below. If I recall, I was on 2 actuations per day for about 6 months and then had a t-level taken which dictated increasing the dose to 3 actuations. In another 6 months, the same story, so I was increased to 4 actuations.
Avatar n tn The pulmonologist test that was done with the mevacor to induce asthma - the pulmonologist said they had to give me a pretty strong dose to induce any kind of affect so he thought if I had asthma it was a slight case. None of the medications really work except the prednisone, albuterol and singular. I have stopped taking everything else. I am also going to stop taking Nexium because I have been taking it since last May and I don't think it is good to keep taking it.
Avatar f tn I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
691983 tn?1266804832 I'm glad to hear that the vitamin D is helping you for now. I think that hormones and "female problems" such as PMS, fibroids and endometriosis... all go along in people who have autoimmune diseases (and I'm including CFS and fibro). I get SEVERE migraines every month, due to estrogen dominance.

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.

683167 tn?1302879300 the problem with low dose naltrexone is there are no real studies been done to prove its affect ......... I know one person who started to take it and she said it took a while before she noted any affects about 6 months i think my memory isnt good any more. IF it makes you feel better after taking it could it mean that the drug makes you feel worse when you are taking it if you get my meaning? Sorry not very clear even in my head lol. This is a good web site all about it. http://www.
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 n tn The she went back to the hospital for an morning drop off, a dose of heartworm preventative like heartguard (more then the regular monthly dose) or interceptor ( 1dose) and she was observed and then released that p.m. After 2 weeks you test for microfilaria which is the baby worms if positive it doesn't always mean their are still adults reproducing so a second dose of preventative should be given and then retest in 2 more weeks.
Avatar m tn The way I understand it, lithium requires blood testing because the therapeutic dose is close to the toxic dose. Is it monthly testing? Maybe at first while the optimum dose is being found. I think some blood tests may be needed with Depakote because it's hard on the liver. It's been a long time since I've taken it. If I remember right, my doctor tested my liver enzymes before putting me on it to make sure I was in good order before starting it.
Avatar f tn liver enzymes shoot up, her doctor increases dosage, this is followed by decrease in enzyme levels in next monthly blood test, then doctor slowly decreases dosage, this is always followed by increase in liver enzyme level, and so on. This has been going on for an year now I am thinking if increased dose reduces enzyme level, then why decrease the dosage at all. Is it only fear of side-effect?
1026267 tn?1257591273 When I asked pharacist about the price (last year) it was $200/mo regardless of whether it was taken daily or monthly. Now that I have a different perscription plan, Endo thinks I should check the price again. It isn't just the price that is making me anxious, it is the fact that I wonder if it is a sure preventative.
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 m tn New Results from Phase II ARB-1467 Multi-Dosing Study In September 2016, Arbutus reported single dose ARB-1467 results for Cohorts 1 (0.2mg/kg) and 2 (0.4 mg/kg) and multiple dose results from Cohort 1 (Cohorts 1 and 2 enrolled HBeAg- patients). Today Arbutus is reporting multiple dose results from Cohort 2, which show a significant reduction in HBsAg. In both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2, an additive, step-wise reduction in HBsAg was observed with each dose.
Avatar f tn Had my first dose of IV soluMedrol this a.m. and my tummy is hurting. Anyone else have this problem from it, or is it a fluke. I'll make sure I get some yogurt before my next one and keep pepto handy..
764075 tn?1234495599 Hi, Went in today for my monthly blood draw, I'm at approx. 28/48 Tx give or take. Here's the thing? My primary care Doc. who I'm not seeing for Tx calls me this afternoon to say that the lab had contacted him to inform him of the result of the CBC? and that my white blood count was extremely low?. Now my internist and I have been monitoring this monthly, but the Doc. really scared me? He said his concern was if I was having any out of the ordinary side effects?
Avatar f tn Dose anyone know a website that sends free samples out id really like to know.. if know,please tell?!?!
Avatar m tn 406 days clean from a debilitating oxy contin addiction. Stated with my husband. We both were taking anywhere between 12-18 oxy 80's a day. I lost my husband to an over dose and continued my addiction. I spent every last dollar I had and almost ruined my life completely. I am proud to say I am clean and with the help of the people here and sheer will, I will remain clean. Been here at MH going on two years and have met so many wonderdul people. This site is a god send....
Avatar n tn I WANT TO KNOW DOSE OF B12 INJECTION TO ONE YEAR BABY NOT EAT WELL
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with mild hypothyroidism and tested positive for anti-thyroid antibodies in December after my 2nd miscarriage. My doctor wanted my TSH below 2 (it was 5) and it took 2 dosage increases to get it down. I suspected my mother had the same problem (she has had symptoms for years) and she ended up in the emergency room in February with severe swelling and rash.
Avatar m tn I had to change up my timing during triple therapy. They had me taking pills at 3 in the morning. I just went back by half hour increments until I got to where I wanted to be. Overkill? Possibly....but it made me feel better to do it that way. Your change isn't that drastic.....just do it in one day. You've been on the meds for 6 months...so you are past the crucial 12 week point. But you won't be able to avoid doing the 2 oclock dose at work.
Avatar f tn To increase the dose does bring on more unpleasant side effects. The ones that are monitored and increased in dose monthly are the ones that Clomid at the lower doses is not working for them. The only way to ensure it is working is to be monitored by your doctor. Many OB doctors unfortunately do not monitor u on Clomid. I would at least insist on a cd21 progesterone test that will also let u know if you in fact ovulated.
