Common Questions and Answers about Actonel once a week

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.

Avatar n tn I would make sure that there isn't something going on at school that she fears so much, it makes her sick just to think about going. Then I would get her checked thoroughly as there is obviously something wrong.

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 f tn I have IBS> I started to take fosamax once a week (for osteo). did so for 4 weeks. it seemed to bother my esophagus (bumping, reflux) so my doctor suggested actonel. i took one pill a week ago and since have had increasing sensation of a lump in my throat, and like I'm full of phlegm that I can't ever swallow down. I can eat so of course I am swallowing. I'm off all drug right now but throat/phlegm sensations feel settled in, especailly bad at night, and are anxiety provoking.

Avatar n tn I have been to the allergy clinic and am taking weeking allergy shots, also to a pulmonologist and there is nothing wrong that he can find - he thinks I may have a slight case of asthma based on the pulmonary tests done at the hospital with mevacor to induce asthma. He doesn't thinki that asthma is my main problem. Every doctor seems to think it is allergies. I have also recently been to an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
Avatar f tn So who has had to have the progesteron shots once a week.what is your take on it and what should i expect.?
Avatar m tn Hi guys. I started taking Lexapro for my depression/generalized anxiety disorder about two years ago. For the first year, I took the drug every day as prescribed by the doctor. I didn't get any side effects which I thought was great. The drug wasn't of much help, though. A year ago, I decided to stop taking Lexapro on my own. I tried quitting it cold turkey but I wasn't able to follow through with it because of the withdrawal effects.
Avatar m tn The reason being I went with my girlfriend to her pap appointment a few days ago (my gf is fully aware of my condition and so is her gyno) Her doctor mentioned that there are some treatments that can be taken once a week, and that it is just another form of valtrex. Does this mean it would be a higher doseage as opposed to the 500mg x 2 for 3 days that I take?

Avatar n tn It had sludge,stones, and was diseased. I thought great the pain will be gone. Guess what, not a week later- same pain!!! The lump in my throat has only been back a week or so though but it is so aggravating. I try to belch, burp and have even made myself vomit to try to ease it. Strange thing is when I eat it helps it for awhile. Seems like if I've been doing anything bending over alot it brings it on. The severe abdominal pain is not daily but comes on mostly in late evening.
Avatar f tn If you are taking pain reliever and have taken antibiotics and you are having a reoccuring fever of 99.9 F or more, then this could indeed be a problem. The only way to know if it is viral or you need an antibiotic is for the doctor to run some blood tests to see if your body is fighting off any illnesses. But also if you are on osteoporosis medications currently, the medication you are taking could be causing your symptoms.
Avatar f tn I work full time as a concierge (my appearance is very important) and only have time to exercise on my days off. I do Kravmaga and yoga 2-3 day a week. Most of my meals are very healthy, until after dinner. I'm relaxed and just want the comfort of food. Please help. I want to end this before it progresses to a much more serious problem.
Avatar n tn Ibandronate (Boniva injection) is injected into your vein once every three months, and zoledronic acid (Reclast) is injected once a year. If approved by your physician these treatments do not cause stomach distress and you do not have to remember to take a tablet. If these are the injections or "shots for osteoporosis" that your mom's physician is discussing there are fairly well know and widely used.
Avatar n tn I've a red color in my stool every week (once a week). It is just a small part red in color in my stool. I never had this kind of problem before. The first time having it was two weeks ago, diarrhea, and my stool has some part of bright red in color. After a week later, it happen again and another week later, once again. So, i am a bit worry of my health. Is this mean there is a blood bleeding in rectum??
