exelon

Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar n tn She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause. Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
Avatar f tn t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon. My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.

She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Recently, she started back on the lower dose of Razadyne. Her neurologist doesn't think the medicine is the cause of the nausea, though it could be aggrivating whatever is causing it.

Avatar m tn I had pityriasis rosea in February. And this sounds just like it, it's mainly caused by stress. If you have one larger patch, then it's a 99% it's this - this big patch is called the herald patch, and usually comes first. And I know the feeling, I just wanted to completely cover up because it was horrible. You'll have to get the doctor to properly diagnose this though. You can take anti-histamines to get rid of the redness and itchyness (they usually get itchy if you get hot).
Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
Avatar m tn Has this happened to anyone else who has been on the fentanyl patches? I know that getting a red rash is a common side effect of wearing the patch, but I cant find any info on the rash lingering long after the actual patch has been removed.
Avatar f tn If the lesion does not itch or has pain, it could be a herald patch of pityriasis rosea. Pityriasis rosea is an acute, benign, self-limiting skin rash. Herald patch is a solitary, oval, red colored patch which appears on the chest or abdomen. After 1-2 weeks of this solitary patch, large patches of pink or red, flaky, oval-shaped rash appear on the torso. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and itching.
Avatar n tn Of late I am noticing that the region is showing me a light colored patch. The patch has a rough texture in comparision of the surrounding skin. And upon rubbing the region, some layers of skin (dead skin, rough like big flakes of dandruff) also come off. I am quite worried about this. Can somebody help?
Avatar m tn I have a rash on my left arm. It is like a red patch on the inside of my elbow. It has been there for almost 12 days. Is this ARS rash? it is flat and red !
Avatar n tn Hi, I had unprotected oral from a CSW exactly 40 days ago. Yesterday I developed a circular patch on my penis that's about the size of a dime. It's red and it itches. Could this be an ARS symptom?
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm sorry, I tried to clarify (poorly!) but the red spot does not itch and there is no negative sensation other than the warmth. I wouldn't notice it at all except it makes me feel very warm and is warm to the touch. And I didn't mention any migraine issues so I'm a little confused. No, I am not currently taking daily medication though I do take Zyrtec as needed for seasonal allergies.
Avatar m tn I have a small red dry patch next to my left eye for 3 weeks now - no other symptoms. If this was rash due to ARS would I have fever would it present itself 2 months after Pep and almost 3 after exposure?
Avatar n tn It would be helpful if the Exelon Patch advertisers didn't feel it was necessary to have their information on continual scroll. There is a reason why I don't read rolling credits at the end of a movie, too. They usually roll too fast to read and simply hurt my head and can trigger migraines. Most of the time I don't see rolling adds, but when I do, I'm put off. Uh...I did not search for anything that would have had anything to do with this particular advertiser.
Avatar n tn Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching. 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 f tn The bumps are not particulary red, they are really hard to see, easier just to feel the bumpyness on my skin, but they are pretty itchy. In addition to the patch on my back I now have a patch on my chest, above my breast, that is particularly bad. The doc gave me a steriod cream and an antifungal, neither seem to be helping. The redness is decreased on my back, but it is still raised and itchy.
Avatar n tn I am a 25 year old male with no history of health problems. A few months ago I noticed a circular, dry, reddish patch on my arm. It was slightly raised. Didn't think too much of it but it persisted for a couple of months so I started putting moisturizer on it, but not consistently. Anyway, it's still there, although it is less dry and doesn't seem to be raised any longer.
Avatar f tn Patch of skin starts as rash turns into blisters ask my doctor he gave a list of issues but now it is coming back we thought spider bite but now that it is returning that is not the problem. Haven't had chicken pox ever, sexually active but married cheating not an issue, did take antibiotics keflex, just had ear surgery. It is itchy in the beginning but once it blisters it is tender any clues?
Avatar f tn I feel at such a loss in trying to help my Mother. I've gone back to Neurologist and am awaiting his advise, but he doesn't appear to be emphathetic to this issue. Her GP defers to the neurologist. My 81 yr old Mother in middle to late stage Alzheimer's. She is not on any anti-anxiety med except for Paxil which was prescribed about a month ago. She gets aggitated during the day at times and especially sundowners time.
Avatar n tn Hello, Thank you for your prompt response. The rash is persistent and is always there. It never goes away. This one patch is the only place I have ever had this. I am not sure of exposure to other persons with fungal infections as I was in the military when this occurred. It is not itchy or irritated, and I don't really pick at it because it feels as if it will bleed if I do, however I have never bled from there after scratching. I mis-spoke in my first submittal.
Avatar n tn I'm on the ortho evra patch and I always put it in the same spot. I got a rash in that spot so I moved my patch and that week with the patch on I started my period as I would when not wearing it. I was on it that full time then I took my patch off for my actual period week and was still bleeding. So a total of two weeks on my period. Is this normal when moving the patch to a different part of the body?
Avatar m tn Hello, It definitely looks like an allergic reaction. Diagnosis of skin allergies includes Skin ***** tests (pricking the skin with a needle or pin containing a small amount of the allergen ('***** Testing' or 'Scratch Testing'), Patch tests (by applying a patch to the skin, where the patch contains the allergen.) and RAST. You should get these tests done to identify the allergen and then avoidance along with antihistaminics and steroids is the main treatment.
Avatar f tn After a couple of weeks, it often spreads to other areas. The rash may or may not itch. Initially, a primary plaque, called a herald patch, is seen. Then it is followed by a distinctive, generalized rash 1-2 weeks later. The rash lasts approximately 2-6 weeks and is found in a Christmas tree pattern over the trunk and abdomen. 2) The second possibility is of any allergic contact dermatitis or sweat dermatitis.
Avatar n tn Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching. No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months (upto six months). If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Other possibilities have to be ruled out then. I hope it helps.
