Avatar f tn Hi, I'm ok, but I think about this every day since I found out. It bothers me more than I thought it would. I have no known family history, but my mother died at 60 from complications from uterine cancer. I am post menopausal. When I was 49 my husband died and my periods just stopped suddenly and I had only hot flashes. But they were often and I would get drenched at work. So I took Prempro. I never stopped taking it because every time I tried the flashes came back.

Avatar f tn I've done a little bit of research on this - not a lot, but some - and from what I see Acella is not a "generic" of Armour. A generic is a product made by another company that is equivalent to the brand name. Acella is not equivalent to the current Armour formulation, therefore, is not a generic of Armour.
600561 tn?1326845621 I am 68 and all tests indicate that I am in very good health. For the moment, my only perscription drug is Evista. Where can I go with this question? Thanks.
Avatar m tn So, since I lost my health insurance I have had to buy generic Synthroid online from one of those Canadian Pharmacy things that sends those spam-type emails I was broke and almost out of meds so I took the bait. All has been well with it until I started having some really horrible night terrors. I'm talking NIGHT TERRORS, the kind that leave you paralyzed upon waking up. I didnt know if maybe it was because I went to buy GENERIC synthroid rather than the name brand. is that any different?

Avatar f tn How long should a woman stay on Evista if no negative side affects?
798555 tn?1292787551 Major stopped manufacturing their brand of generic dessicated (Armour equivalent) forever. But I found a few months available. Although 1 grain equals 65mg not 60 like Armour. More weight in fillers I guess, as it has 38 mgT4 and 9 mg T3 per grain just like Armour. My question is for any one that has used this Major Thyroid in the past and also used Armour. Could you tell a difference, any side effects I need to look for? Odd brand.
Avatar n tn He also said an oncologist would later discuss prophylactic treatment with tamoxifen or evista (I have osteopenia, and he said evista can be beneficial for that).

Two years ago I had emergency surgery for a retinal detachment and have only just now come to terms with my altered vision the various complications from the detachment.
Avatar n tn Local Walmarts offer $4 generic prescriptions for certain drugs so they are good for some antibiotics and antihistamines. For compounded drugs I use a place out of Florida who with shipping is still cheaper than our local compounding pharmacies. They are a website called Your Druggist *******. and they are reputable I have a dog who takes a compounded steroid for his IBD and has never had a problem with them.
Avatar f tn You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol or generic equivalent) as long as you don't drink alcohol and don't exceed the recommended dosage. Should not affect your stomach, either. Good luck with your results.
