What I always tell my patients is that the benefit has to outweigh the negative aspects of any medication. If the child in question is actually having bad side effects (and is not making them up because he or she does not want to take the medication or is not experiencing symptoms from another condition that are being mistaken as side effects), then it would most likely be best to switch to a different medication. I'd speak with your child's physician.

I have not seen any "painful" side effects of Stratters; some unpleasant ones, such as nausea, sleep disturbances, and sexual side effects are more common to see.

Hope this helps!

Does codene cause hives?

Medications can sometimes cause unpleasant, unwanted effects beyond their intended ones. Although people may describe themselves as being allergic to the medication they are taking, most of the problems people experience with medications are not true allergies. In fact, allergy to medication accounts for less than 13 percent of adverse reactions. The remainder of the problems fall into the category of side effects or idiosyncratic reactions (an unusual response that is peculiar to that person) to medication. For example, hives are a common side effect some people may suffer when taking narcotic pain relievers like codeine, but it is not an allergy. Certainly hives are unpleasant, perhaps unpleasant enough that you would not wish to take the medication again, but codeine does not stimulate the immune defense system to produce antibodies against codeine, so the hives and itching are not due to a true allergy. However, if the hives are unpleasant, you can go to your family doctor so he may be able to change/prescribe other types of medication or even something to counter those hives.

What are the side effects for a female taking testicle medication?

"Testicle medication" is not sufficiently specific for us to provide a list of side effects (or, for that matter, effects).Women who take testosterone, which MIGHT be what you mean (but also might not), tend to experience higher libido, reduction of breast size, muscle growth, and longer/coarser/more visible body hair. However, these are not "side effects" as much as they are "effects"; that's what testosterone does.
