These drugs are believed to possess similar abuse potentials. Ramelteon (Rozerem), works differently in the body to treat insomnia. It is not considered to be a controlled substance.
Zolpidem (Ambien) and eszopiclone (Lunesta) have been shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs and increase total sleep time. The sleep induced by them resembles natural sleep. Ramelteon (Rozerem) has shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs.
Consult the "Blueblook" or PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) for information on the manufacturer of any drug. It's available in most libraries.
But don't be surprised if they have no conversation with you. There is little other information than that which is in the PDR that they could provide you with.
I was told that "more spots (laser spots/burns) may be necessary in inactive PDR due to macular edema or lipid leakage.
Specifically, the delayed sleep phase syndrome. He prescribed Ramelteon to help her fall asleep at night. So far, the sleeping pill seems to work but in a subtle way. If she does not prep herself for sleep, sleep will not come. It has gotten so bad that she cannot remember the last time she slept and felt rested.
There is a bit more to it then just a sleeping problem. I am not sure if this is related to it but she has laps of time where she can't remember specifically what she did.
I am type 2 and have been diagnosed with PDR in both eyes. I've been getting Lucentis injections and they have improved my vision. The retina specialist said there is a new drug about to get FDA approval and he thinks it will work better for me than Lucentis. Can anybody tell me anything about this drug? And what will it cost?
Your story is very common almost normal for treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy PDR . First of all your FA, OCT and eye exam will not be normal. You have diabetic retinopathy almost assuredly background DR and your PDR is inactive. Laser doesn't "cure" you it can just for a time stop progression. Laser works by killing tissue and creating scars so you have laser marks and scars inside your eye.
t know too much about international pharmaceuticals... but india has something called tranax. Is there any way to ID this pill? Perhaps an india PDR or something?
I have taken up to 120mg of Cymbalta and never had hallucinations and I have never heard of anyone having hallucinations caused by Cymbalta. I looked it up in a PDR and hallucinations are not mentioned, not even one case. You will probably need an antipsychotic for the hallucinations if you continue to have them even when off Cymbalta.
The PDR says that after 2 weeks the dose needs to be titrated down - so YES you need to wean off
You could check the book "Physicians Desk Reference" (or "PDR") for dosing guidelines, but be sure to check with a licensed physician. Also check ilads (dot) com for Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines. There may be useful information there. Also did you try searching something like "lyme disease iv rocephin dose"? Checking with an MD is important before proceeding with any such treatment. No one here is medically trained to my knowledge.
that is a very informative news site....i like when you click on the PDR viewer...words are clear and precise....
No. The red and white inhaler is associated with a brand name albuterol sulfate solution. They come in many colors. The color has no relationship to the severitu of the problem. I am concerned your physician provided you with this medication without explaining what it is and when it should be used. When you pick up a medicine at the pharmacy ask them for the "PDR package insert". This provides you with all the information you need about the medicine.
Four-hundred mg is generally as high as most doctors will go (as per the PDR, I believe), but I've known people who were prescribed on as much as 450 mg.
Going higher than this recommended limit increases risk of seizures.
Your doctor also needs to assess your general medical condition, any other meds that you may be on, etc.
My personal experience is there's no difference between generic and brand-name, aside from cost (and co-pay).
