Avatar m tn Try application of microfined zinc oxide as a sunscreen and avoid all cremes on the face.Bcarotene cap 1 day,and avoid touching plants or gardening if you do so.Steroids taken like this will spoil your health.
Avatar f tn Zinc is a mineral and as such is water soluable (your body takes what it needs and excretes the rest), and it is also good for your baby, so if you're not feeling well, go ahead and use those lozenges. Hope you feel better soon.
Avatar n tn as I read about the study reported in the British Journal of Dermatology about using oral zinc for recalcitrant warts. but my doctor told me no that hes never heard of that and too much zinc is dangerous..the clinical trial they used up to 600mg of zinc a day..but Fourteen of the 23 zinc-treated patients had complete remission of their warts after one month of treatment. Complete clearance of warts was noted in 20 patients after two months...NO ONE in the Placebo group showed ANY improvements..
Avatar f tn He prescribed me Bacitracin Zinc Ointment for the infection. It is not working and it has been a week. What should I do? How could have this been caused? What are my options? Should I take another medicine for it? Is the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate good for it? How can I get rid from it, and how can I prevent this from occurring again?
Avatar m tn I am a 34 year old male. Last tested for STD's in October and all was clear. 3 weeks ago, I received an unprotected blowjob from an escort. I have had no symptoms until this last week. My only symptom is an ache in my testicles that comes and goes. I'm not noticing any swelling or any other symptoms. Just an aching that radiates to my groin and lower abdomen. To complicate things, I have dealt with recurring prostatitis for years, so this could easily be a flare up.
Avatar m tn Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful if there is any pruritis. 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.
Avatar m tn I went off of it due to the fact that I was bloating and my stool was loose(no diarrhea) and off colored. My doctor told me to take probiotics and if need be start taking the antibiotics again in 2 weeks. I've been taking probiotics since December 12th and the problem still persists. What could be wrong? I thought that maybe I might be lactose intolerant, but I wasn't before? This is super frustrating. I don't want to deal with it anymore! Please help.
Avatar m tn Namely, Vitamin D3 10 000 IU (Cholecalciferol), Astaxanthin (natural) 12 mg, Zinc Picolinate 50 mg, Copper Sebacate 6 mg (to avoid imbalance) and a multivitamin (with forms that have been scientifically tested to have best absorption into the body and show raised levels after longer use - same thing with Vit D3, Zinc, Copper and Astaxanthin). I noticed that the above eye issue is occurring with lesser intensity.
Avatar n tn It would be best to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms to find out the cause of your complaints. Increase the intake of proteins in your diet, take a multi vitamin and zinc supplements. Adequate sleep and hydration are also important. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner. You might need to get investigated further maybe to establish a cause of the hair loss - hormone levels, thyroid function tests, any skin disease etc.
12757438 tn?1433673730 I agreed, however now Belle’s health keeps yo-yoing back and forth. She was fine and tolerated some water and a few bites to eat and then the next time I talked to them she had peed bright orange was turning yellow and needed a blood transfusion. She is in the middle of her 80 ml. blood transfusion right now. They promised me she did not seem to be in pain and that other than the discoloration and declined labs she seems to be okay.
1475202 tn?1536270977 if it is from drinking alcohol then there can indeed be dramatic regression in the severity of the liver disease and even reversal of cirrhosis with ongoing sobriety. Zinc is well known to cause gastric upset so must always be taken with food. Unless the person has symptoms of encephalopathy we do not treat an elevated ammonia level.
Avatar m tn ve found that excessive zinc levels can deplete copper levels, causing neuropathy, heaviness and weakness in the extremities, and stabbing, itching and heat sensations in hands and feet. I have all of these symptoms and more. Is there anyone else out there who is experiencing this same thing?
Avatar m tn Note that many zinc products also contain another metal called cadmium. This is because zinc and cadmium are chemically similar and often occur together in nature. Exposure to high levels of cadmium over a long time can lead to kidney failure. The concentration of cadmium in zinc-containing supplements can vary as much as 37-fold. Look for zinc-gluconate products. Zinc gluconate consistently contains the lowest cadmium levels.
Avatar f tn You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium. If the symptoms persist,then it would be best to get it confirmed from a dermatologist Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
1323278 tn?1298122488 Too much copper can cause neurological damage...and death! On the other hand, if you are healthy and take too much zinc, you will have copper deficiency - which is also not good! A great zinc source is Gluzin - zinc gluconate. Gluzin is fast adsorbing and less irritable to your stomach i.e. nausea and possible vomiting at high dose. If you do not have WD, it is recommended that you NOT take it on an empty stomach. Gluzin comes in two dosage form, 25 mg and 50 mg.

Avatar n tn Doxycycline 100 mgm by mouth twice/day for 6 weeks and then once/day for 3-6 months is a common treatment of blepharitis and meibomian gland disease. It is not so much antibacterial as antiinflammatory and gets into the oild gland. That's the reason its also used for acne. There is a new product that is specific for blepharitis but I don't have the details or brand name. None of these cause floaters.
Avatar m tn instead, i juz told her my prob and she diagnosed me wif oesophagus reflux(side effect of doxycycline) meanin the acid in my stomach traveled up to my esophagus causing irritation and prescibe me wif anacid. i read somewhere that if i were to take doxycycline, i must not take anacid because it will lessen the effectiveness of doxycycline. so, now i'm at a lost again..
Avatar n tn I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics? Thanks.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone had low dose doxycycline (50mg) used for rosacea or used any antibiotic and got severe vertigo 40 minutes after taking it? I had dizzyness then vertigo and my right ear went deaf then I almost fell but my husband caught me and I got nauseated, tired and cold. It only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. I have been sore from almost falling and jerking myself and tired all day.
Avatar m tn either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated. I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.
Avatar f tn Does it occur when you're breathing? Are you short of breath?
