Avatar f tn t keep my skin under control without being on the pill, so I saw my gyn and she suggested I might feel better if I have a steady dose of hormones instead of the varying levels Tri Sprintec provided. She prescribed Sprintec, which I will be starting next week. Could you help me understand the difference of how these two similar pills work? I know they are the same hormones, but how much do the levels differ?
Avatar n tn It is my first month on birth control ever and usually my periods are about 19-25 days apart. I am on my 3rd day of the inactive pills right now and have still not gotten my period. I originally went on birth control because my periods are so irregular and to protect myself against pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test two days ago just to settle my nerves and it came back negative. I still have not gotten it though. Is it normal for my period to be late the first month I am on the pill?

10168 tn?1470588977 Is there a place where I can get allergy testing of inactive ingredients that's in my Synthroid? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Levothyroxine is the active ingredient for both of them; the difference is the inactive ingredients (fillers/binders and dyes) they each contain. Levothyroxine is also the generic for all brands of T4 medications. Inactive ingredients in Synthroid are: acacia, confectioner's sugar, D&C Red No. 27 & D&C Red No. 30, FD&C Blue No. 1, lactose, magnesium stearate, povidone, and talc.
Avatar f tn I am concerned about my late period. I have been on Tri-Sprintec for quite a few months now. I'm currently on my last week taking the inactive white pills. So far I took about 4 of these pills and haven't gotten my period yet. Last month, I was under a lot of stress and I got it twice in that month. Other than that month, my period seemed to come on time with the pills. I am concerned about this. When would I need to take a pregnancy test and how long should I wait to see a gyny?
Avatar f tn “Nature-Throid is a hypoallergenic combination thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormone replacement drug made from Thyroid USP. Nature-Throid is formulated using hypoallergenic inactive ingredients and does not contain any artificial colors or flavors, corn, peanut, rice, gluten, soy, yeast, egg or fish/shellfish.” I notice is doesn’t say what it DOES contain, just what it doesn’t.
Avatar f tn //www.pdr.net/full-prescribing-information/Nature-Throid-thyroid-496 https://www.drugs.com/pro/armour-thyroid.html From review of the active ingredients I can't imagine why there would be a difference in thyroid effect. If it were me I would question cutting your dosage in half and risking becoming hypo again, unless the doctor can provide a valid reason. I have switched from Armour to NatureThroid without noticing any effect. What is your current daily dosage?
Avatar n tn Generic pills do differ, however, in the inactive ingredients, such as color, flavoring, preservatives and the filler materials that hold the pill or tablet together. Although uncommon, some people may be allergic to one or more of these inactive ingredients. Issues with Seizure Medications For some people using certain medications, generics can be a problem. This is most often a problem with medications in which even a miniscule change in dose can be ineffective or cause side effects.
Avatar m tn Aleve's first inactive ingredient is magnesium and magnesium blocks the absorption of synthroid. So why isn't alleve on the interaction list with Synthroid?
Avatar f tn I went to see my doctor who said this can happen on BC pills and it had something to do with the ingredients they put into the tablets to bind the hormones together??? Anyway she advised I come off this pill and wait til I have a 'normal' period, which I reckon might be a good few weeks away and then start on another sort of pill. I wondered if anyone else had had such an experience whilst on this pill or any other one?
Avatar n tn Generics all have their own names but from a chemical standpoint, the active ingredients are identical to the name brand. Where Junel and Blisovi differ is just in the inactive ingredients.
Avatar f tn I have looked up all the medications available for hypothyroid and they all seem to contain the same inactive ingredients. Getting pretty scared at this point. Dr. says to take antihistamines before taking the synthroid, but hives are still there and I can still feel the reaction going on. Don't know how much longer I can continue this. Please help!
Avatar m tn Some other companies which has same composition but other inactive ingredients and preservatives,they might take the color of inactive ingredients or color of natural or synthetic chemicals mixed: like Vytone or Ethex,Alcortin,Glades or Dynarex. If you might have noticed on the label it says 'Paraben free',which is a potential ingredient if included in composition causes severe allergic reactions, which is a good thing.
Avatar n tn Yes, Synthroid is the same as Levoxyl as being a brand thyroid medication. However, Levoxyl has less inactive ingredients than Synthroid, with less chance for adverse reactions. Active ingredients are the same. The active ingredient T4, is not known to cause adverse issues, however, the inactive ingredients in all the thyroid medications (including Armour and Cytomel), are the actual culprits. Armour is not a 100% natural. Nor a 100% cure-all for all our symptoms.

Avatar f tn Hi Kay, Here is something you may find intresting Tri-Sprintec contains female hormones and therefore alters your female gynecological symptoms. Tri-Sprintec typically causes nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, breast pain, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities and changes in your appetite and weight. Tri-Sprintec can affect your appearance and cause increased hair growth, loss of hair or freckling of your skin. It can cause nervousness, a headache and fatigue.
Avatar f tn My period is due tomorrow. Im on birth control called tri sprintec but i didnt take it saturday or the first day of my blue pills. I did take it right when i rememebered the next day. When he came inside me i freaked out and made him suck it out of me and then we used water to clean me out. Also, he smokes weed so i know that has something to do with how your sperm works or something, not saying it makes it completely inactive but it does do something. What are the chances of me being pregant?
3947271 tn?1349502251 The active ingredients are calcium carbonate (550 mg) and magnesium hydroxide (110 mg). The inactive ingredients are dextrose, flavoring, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, pregelatinized starch, and sucrose. Some docs say they are alright to take, some don't and the ones who say not to only reccomend it because they contain aluminum..
Avatar m tn Yes, I noticed that too with Tremadol because as soon as it wears off, my bladder burns horribly worse. Celexa does the same thing. I have always wondered if sodium laural(th) sulfate stuff and the inactive ingredients was flaring it up worse.
Avatar m tn 1) Take the package into the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if they know b) Contact the manufacturer of the medication (will be listed on the bottle/box) and ask them what the inactive ingredients/fillers, etc. are in the medication. Sometimes, these things are listed on the original packaging box, so if your pharmacy distributes the meds in their orginal box (rather than puttin gthem into a bottle), you might want to look at the box yourself and see if anything is lsted.
Avatar f tn t actively say it but when I was trying to find some explanation for my problems, I found their latest package insert at it listed 2 additional inactive ingredients that were not in the formula change since 2002, and my current package insert still had the old 3 inactive ingredients. So I investigated thinking this was my problem. I finally got someone after months to tell me the real story.
