Can Zyrtec interact with metronidazole?
There are drug data sheets available at Answers.com which also list drug interaction tables. Upon reviewing these table for both drugs, neither one lists the other as having an interaction with the other. Regardless, a safe practice is always to check with your physician.
Can you take augmentin if allergic to sulfa drugs?
Yes. Cephalexin has no sulfa derivatives. Rather, it more closely resembles the penicillin/amoxicillin antibiotics. If you have an alergy to those, however, you may have some unpleasant side effects/reactions. Don't be afraid to call your doctor or pharmacist to ask questions before taking any medication.
Can you take tramadol if you are allergic to sulfa?
There should be not problem taking tramadol. Demerol is meperidine, and is a narcotic pain medicine. Tramadol is not similar enough to meperidine to trigger a reaction. Remember that tramadol will make you lightheaded and sleepy. Take it just as your doctor ordered and don't take extra.
Are there reported cases of allergic reaction to polypropylene?
I've seen a few via internet searches, and I personally have had reactions to Polypropylene, so I know firsthand that it can happen. I haven't had a formal allergy test yet though.
Can you take azithromycin if you are allergic to erythromycin?
Azithromycin must not be taken by a person who is allergic to erythromycin. The two antibiotics are closely related and work in a similar manner. A qualified health professional will be able to recommend a safe alternative.
Can you take Ibuprofen with Zyrtec?
Yes, you can, but since ibuprofen is a pain reliever, it is best to consult your doctor or pharmacist for proper dosing. Taking pain relievers and Zyrtec may increase drowsiness and dizziness.
How long does it take for an allergic reaction like hives to go away?
Allergic reactions to Meds are tricky. Obviously its best to consult a Physician ASAP for their opinion. My daughter had a reaction to ammoxicilin and it took a few days for the swelling and rash to go away. The medicine stays in your system longer then you realize. Some people need steroids to reduce swelling and an antihistamine like Benydryl. Its safe to say that you need to give it a few days for the fluid of the swelling to go away and back to normal. Keep antihistamines in your purse (or if a guy, in your pocket or vehicle at all times.) Benadryl is the best and for adults two caps (25 mgs. each) are what you should take. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes for the swelling to go down, but if you've left it for a long time it may take longer. DO NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE OR MACHINERY WHILE TAKING ANTIHISTIMINES. Benadryl is given in hospitals (I know because I had a reaction to a medication) and is harmless to you. It will probably make you sleepy.
Can you take mucinex and allegra d together?
It should be safe. Mood stabilizers, such as Lamictal, are prescribed occasionally for those that have mood swings when taking a stimulant ADHD medication.
Can you carry an allergy injection onto an airplane?
Yes, you can, though you may have a little trouble going through security. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration states that "Atropens, an auto-injection system that can help treat many emergency conditions (low heart rate, breathing problems, and excess saliva related to insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisoning) are also allowed." So atropens, more commonly known as epi-pens or allergy injections, are allowed, as are other medications.
That said, you should bring your prescription and/or other medical documentation with you to ease your way through airport security. The TSA doesn't necessarily encourage people to bring medications (especially sharps) onto airplanes, but they recognize the medical necessity of these devices.

Did Hannibal Lecter kill Allegra Pazzi?
No. After he killed Inspector Pazzi by hanging him, Hannibal had to leave quickly and took a lift straight to the airport with a random man under the pretense of having to meet up with his wife urgently.
The cure for hives is an awareness of the cause or trigger of hives, then you figure out a logical solution to the problem accordingly. As an example, hives from increased heat is a possible dry skin condition. A teaspoon full of cod liver oil in the morning can help deliver moisturizing properties to the skin 30 minutes before breakfast and prevent heat hives.
Kevin is "apparently" allergic to fruit (so he says). Joe is allergic to shrimp and pollen. Nick hasn't given any classified information but he has type 1 diabetes so there probably will be something he is allergic to.
Where do you get a latex puppet?
There are different types of latex rubber used to make puppets. 1.Slip Latex, which is similar to what Halloween masks are made of. When cast it is a flexible membrane that holds it shape well. The most extensive collection of latex puppet characters for sale is from Axtell Expressions. www.axtell.com Some horror type puppets are also available from slip latex at http://thehorrordome.com/HDSHOPPINGPROPS/HDSHOPPINGPUPPETS.htm 2. Foam Latex. This is a softer latex that is often used in the film industry for special effects and stop motion puppets. It has a softer skin and because of the spongy characteristic it wrinkles and moves like real skin. It is primarily used for short term television or movies because it does not have a long life and can often tear. Spitting Image, the British satire program in the 70s and 80s used foam latex extensively. While there may not be any companies offering off the shelf foam latex puppets, you can read about making your own here from this article by Tom McLaughlin.... http://www.sagecraft.com/puppetry/building/FoamPuppets.html
Can people be allergic to water?
Clearly, there are differences of opinion on this question.
One person said, "YES! I myself am! There is medication that some of to take because even drinking water causes the same effects to their inside as well, kind of like you can get chicken pocks on the inside. I have to take medicine everyday, I'm allergic to myself since we are made up of [water]."
With a problem called aquagenic pruritus, an intense prickly itch can be triggered by contact with water on the skin. This itch can last 45 minutes or more after water contact but has no visible sign on the skin. Another condition, called aquagenic urticaria, can also be caused by water contact, but it appears as welts or a red rash. The cause of these reactions to water is unknown. Even though both can result in increased histamine levels in the blood, they are not technically an allergy. Research continues into both; but given their rarity and lack of symptoms in the former, it is very difficult to tell what exactly is the problem.
It is also possible to be allergic to additives in water, such as fluoride, without being allergic to the water itself. This is the case with our oldest daughter.

Maybe, no one sure yet, too bad we not go to the past.
Why do I blush intensely when I drink alcohol?
When you consume and alcoholic beverage, the alcohol (otherwise known as Ethanol) is absorbed into your blood stream via the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. The time taken for the alcohol to absorb into your blood stream can vary anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. Some factors that might affect the rate at which alcohol can be absorbed by the body include your sex, body mass, the type and strength of the alcohol consumed, and the amount of food you have lining your stomach.
The alcohol is absorbed into you blood stream and makes its way to your brain. The moment the alcohol reaches the brain you will feel a slight change in your mental state. You become slightly light headed, cheerful, and more sociable. This is because alcohol targets the area of the brain that controls your inhibitions. This is why people are more talkative and appear to have more fun after having getting a few drinks into their system.
Researchers have shown that as many as 50 percent of people of Asian descent experience a red flushed complexion after drinking alcohol. "Asian Flush", more technically referred to by scientists as "Alcohol Flush Reaction", describes our body's inability to completely break-down alcohol that has been ingested by our bodies.
The reason why our body has trouble breaking down the alcohol is because we have inactive enzyme called
aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which is normally responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde, a byproduct of the metabolism of alcohol. Acetaldehyde is a toxin and, as result of your body not being able to properly break it down, this toxin accumulates and causes the red flushing that we all commonly refer to as Asian Flush.
Whilst the red flushing is the most common and reported symptom among sufferers, other symptoms you might experience include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and an increased pulse.
Scientists have very little knowledge as to why the enzyme is inactive primarily in people of Asian descent, but empirical studies have shown that the enzyme deficiency that causes Asian Flush is genetic and can potentially be passed down by both parents. Tolerance levels and the severity of flushing and other symptoms vary from individual to individual. Some studies have also shown that while the majority of suffers appear to be of Asian decent, there is some evidence that aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 is inactive in higher than average levels in people of Jewish descent as well.
According to the weight of medical opinion, there isn't much we can do to fix our enzyme deficiency. We were born with it any we're most likely going to die with it - this my friends is something we're going to have to live with. However, there are several remedies available on the internet that have been proven to be successful in treating Asian Flush.
Hopefully, by increasing people's awareness of this disorder we can also broaden social tolerance and alleviate any stigma that may be attached to Asian Flush.
