Avatar n tn I was taking Linzess and it didn't work and they offer a refund as long as you have your receipt and tell them why, etc.? Do you know if the manufacturer who makes Lubiprostone offers a refund if it doesn't work?
329994 tn?1301663248 I went online and did not like the side effects of this medication or the reports written by real people. I am hoping that someone on here has taken it and can tell me what they think. I am mostly concerned about the side effects of chest pain and shortness of breath. As a heart patient, I do not like those side effects. Any advice would be great. Thank you!
Avatar n tn Hi fahadali2008, hope you are feeling better and able to have some sleep? Since when were you taking Lexotinal for sleeplessness and how much useful was it? Had it been prescribed by a doctor? Can you say the reason for stopping the use of this drug completely? Did you have any serious side effects of the drug? It is better you consult your attending physician or consult a sleep specialist before abruptly stopping the drug to be advised on the alternate medications.
Avatar f tn I am not sure that I want this lens because of possible additional problems such as rotation. Is this lens still problematic, or has it come a long way since 2006? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has the Acrysoft Toric lens. Thank you so much. This forum is truly wonderful.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an equivalent to the patch that one can take....I have insurance but since it just started I do not have any insurance cards yet therefore I cannot afford to get the patch yet. The only pharmacy near me that carries the patch says it's more than $500 for 15. So is there something that can be taken that's basically the same...I have been through w/d too many times to go through it with these bad boys.
Avatar n tn During this time I also had tingling urination...not necessarily painful (about the equivalent of eating a medium hot wing). Additionally, my groin skin felt like it was burning from time to time. Ten days post-encounter my 10-panel STD test came back negative. The fever resided in a day or two, but then the ache moved to my right groin lymph node. Eighteen days post encounter, I had a urinalysis and another round of Chlamydia/GC tests which were normal and negative respectively.
Avatar m tn Hi! Since there is blood which you can see, it is coming from the lower gut. The possible causes are hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal infection, rectal polyps, colon polyps, diverticulosis (outpouchings from the bowel wall), inflammatory bowel disease (IBS, Crohn's, Celiac, ulcerative colitis), or dysentery. In hemorrhoids the blood falls after the stool. In fissures it lines the stools. In all other problems the blood is mixed with stools.
Avatar m tn Hi, was wondering if anyone knew the equivalance of 162 Synthoid to NP thyroid ? Synthroid or elevated T3 is causing my nervous condition. Past few day's, upon waking I'm fine, I take synthroid approx 2 hours later, the nervous condition kicks in. I've taken Synthroid for past 9 months, no problems till approx 3 weeks ago. Trying to figure out what's causing jittery conditon. My whole body constantly shaking, after a few hours calms down, I get headache, then exhausted.
Avatar m tn My question is that is it possible to have equivalent results when I have not been exposed to oral or genital herpes virus?
640719 tn?1277140030 5 mg would be roughly equivalent to 50 mcg. However, bear in mind that the two are not really equivalent since T3 and T4 are very different. The chart only offers a place to start, and your starting dose should take that into account along with other factors, like your typical drug tolerance and the fact that T3 sometimes takes a little getting used to. So, your overall dose will be a little on the low side, but I don't think it's an unreasonable place to start.
Avatar n tn Coming from a non-eye care professional, my advice would be not to have limbal relaxing incisions. With only .5D of astigmatism, your spherical equivalent would be +1.25D (as opposed to your current +.75D). I tried to explain why in recent posts to Capes55 but didn't do a great job. I know that your near/intermediate vision is very blurry at +.75D, but it's pretty blurry at plano, too.
Avatar m tn 00 pm. Not just tired, sluggish, would love a cat nap, I mean wiped out I just have to sit down. I have only ever experience it to that extent in the months after my TT and the cytomel nipped that in the bud. I have only been on the Armour just about three weeks so I know it's too soon to go back. How long do I really need to give my body to adjust? Has anyone else had a similar experience? What did your Dr. do?
Avatar f tn You use it to convert your fentanyl dosage to an equivalent morphine dose, and then find the equivalent morphine dose to oxymorphone, Generally when converting between opiates, doctors will reduce the new medication strength by a certain percentage to account for incomplete cross tolerance, which is a boost in analgesia you get from rotating from one kind of opiate to another. You can find equal analgesic tables, and apps for calculating equivalent dosing online.
1654058 tn?1407159066 In patients with chronic liver disease who have pain symptoms, acetaminophen can be used safely in a dosage of no more than 2 g per day. That’s the equivalent of four extra-strength (500 milligrams) tablets per day or 6 regular strength (325 milligrams) a day.
Avatar m tn Upon searching in google, i found that 1 COI is equivalent to .064 or 1 IU/ML = 18.21 COI. From this i am getting the IU/ML equivalent of 380-440 IU/ML. is COI (ELISA method) method of calculation reliable?
Avatar f tn s brain, and unfortunately, the only way to determine this definitively would be with a brain scan, such as a CT or MRI or equivalent, and possibly analysis of cerebral spinal fluid and other sophisticated diagnostics. These would require general anesthesia. If the results are all normal it could still be idiopathic epilepsy. It would be best to try to make sure that she is in a safe place when she sleeps so that she does not injury herself.
Avatar m tn 1. Unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse. 2. Sharing injection drug equipment. 3. Mother to infant. Transmission happens INSIDE the body. what i worried is this --------hiv transmission inside the body. so my finger with cut was in women's vagina .can this equivalent to inside body?
Avatar n tn Is Seroquel XR 50mg 2tabs 2x a day the equivalent of Seroquel 100mg 2x a day?
Avatar f tn Ok so, two days ago I was sitting at my computer, I had a sudden mood change and started sweating, even though it was 75 in the house, I felt kind of hot and cold at the same time (cold sweats I assume). I felt very weak, shakey, and kind of out of it; The feeling you get when you have too much caffeine, minus my alertness. So I stopped and went to bathroom to take a shower and calm myself down because I felt very scared.
Avatar f tn 4 weeks= a month 8 weeks= 2months 12 weeks=3 months 16 weeks=4 months 20 weeks=5months 24weeks=6months 28weeks=7months 32weeks=8months 36-40=9 months! That's the chart my Dr gave me .. so 24 weeks is six months!
Avatar f tn I was rushed into hospital once unconscious for 7 hours, was found cold, with blue lips, was given equivalent of 30 teasp. sugar and heaps of salt. When I got to hospital I was still unconscious, and hypoglycaemic, they gave me Saline, next day they tested for Addisons. Negative result. Now am I right in thinking that after all that salt and sugar a test so soon after treatment would be useless. I have been tested for diabetes also negative.
Avatar m tn LRI can only correct the astigmatism and will not correct the spherical equivalent. The spherical equivalent part can be corrected by a mini RK, but most doctors do not do this procedure. PRK can set the eye for distance or near and also correct the astigmatism. Dr. O.
Avatar n tn I am on thyrolar-3 and an additional 12.5mcg of cytomel. this is the equivalent of 350mcg of synthroid. when I was on the equivalent of 300mcg synthroid (take thyrolar 3 whihch is 150mcg T$ and 37,5mcgT3) my TSH was still 4.0. however my free T4 was normal, I think there is something else at play here....wilsons syndrome (reverse T3 production) or an adrenal problem. thoughts?
