Can you take cephalexin and propoxyphene together?

This would be OK. Remember to take all of the antibiotics even after you start to feel better. You want to kill off all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body! Remember also that the propoxyphene is habit forming and a controlled substance. This means it is more dangerous, so you need to take it just as the doctor has ordered. Don't take extra or take it sooner than directed.

What are the difference between medicine and pharmacy?

Pharmacy (from the Greek φάρμακον = drug) is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemical sciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe use of medication. The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and dispensing medications.

Nursing is a profession focused on assisting individuals, families, and communities in attaining, maintaining, and recovering optimal health and functioning. Modern nursing focuses on promoting quality of life as defined by persons and families, throughout their life experiences from birth to care at the end of life.

Thus a Pharmacist trains to understand how to dispense medication while a Nurse trains how to administer this medication.

How much acetaminophin is in vicodin extra stregnth mgs?

Vicodin ES contains 750mg of Tylenol which if you several times a day do not exceed five pills per day as 4000 mg is the max 24 hour dosage for Tylenol.

Should a child take Strattera and Concerta?

I would not recommend this combination, since it does have an increased risk of hypertensive effects. However, it is possible that a low dosage of each would be prescribed to treat different symptoms (social phobia / ADHD). I have never seen this combination prescribed before though.

Is mixing percocet and robax platinum ok?

From Drugs.com drug interaction checker:

oxycodone (Ingredient of Percocet 10/325) and Robaxin (methocarbamol) (Moderate Drug-Drug interaction)MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

You should be fine as long as you are not an opiate naive patient or have had problems with either drug in the past causing strong CNS or respiratory problems.

----

The major problem is caused by the "acet" part of both drugs... Percocet AND robaxacet contains acetaminophen.. and you should never never exceed 4 000 mg in 1 day... (1000 mg per dose).

Mixing hydrocodone with marijuana?

Dangerous! Codeine is an opiate used to reduce pain (and/or cough) and alters the way the brain perceives pain. Marijuana also changes the brain's perception, together they can lead to brain damage.

Can you take xanax Wellbutrin and Zoloft together?

yes you can take Wellbutrin and Xanax together. My doctor prescribed both for me for Anxiety. After a while, you should be able to notice that you arent needing as much xanax or taking it less often. That is the Wellbutrin helping to calm your anxiety level. After a while, you may actually be able to not take any xanax or you may find yourself being able to handle the anxiety without a chemical fixer

What bath salt can you smoke?

No, they aren't salt, and no, you don't smoke them (well you can, but that's not how they are usually used). You snort them or main line them. No, I don't recommend it at all, and yes, I have done it. If you don't want to be able to sleep for days, want to feel like sh t after the first 30 minutes, and have terrible (and I mean terrible) "coming off" effects... then go for it.. I'd recommend Robo if you want to get that messed up, and are asking a question about bath salts. (and now you're asking what robo is and how you "smoke" it, arent you?!).. I used to do all the stuff I could get my hands on all through high school man and it's just not a good idea. I turned out alright and I'm in college and get good grades and all that, but I'm an exception, and I also would have gotten in a lot less trouble and gotten a lot more out of my parents if I hadn't been so concerned about getting high all the time.) Kids gotta learn themselves though, just like I did, I guess... and you'll probably do whatever anyways.

--- But seriously on the Bath Salt, you'll regret it , save your money and your sanity, and if you do get your little mitts on some, a dab will do you, don't OD and go crazy and kill your family like some supposedly have.

Can you drink alcohol while taking Synthroid and Coumadin?

You can, but alcohol is likely to impair the T4 to T3 conversion process which is essential in gaining any benefit from this medicine. Research on alcoholics showed that T4 was more likely to convert to rT3 (the inactive form of the hormone) than T3, but when they stopped drinking alcohol, over 60% more of the T4 converted properly.

Is it safe to combine cipro with Ibuprofen?

no one should not take Ciprofloxacine along with any NSAID's(Ibuprofen and acetomenophine) because these drugs along with cipro may cause CNS toxicity, seizures may be reported.

Can you take Celebrex and Zoloft together?

Yes, both drugs can be taken together if both are required and prescribed for you.

Will mixing marijuana and Clonazepam cause problems?

With my First hand experience with both. Clonazepam AKA Klonopin yes it does, it does not decrease respiration or anything like that (In Me) but you do get way more relaxed, steadier mood, calmer. amd depending on how much you smoke, If you smoke 2 bowls or Joints by yourself than you will be more tired (again in me) or groggy. I would not drive or anything until you get used to it. Hope this helps/

Remember ONE THING IF YOU CANNOT ASK YOUR DOCTOR THESE QUESTIONS THEN CALL A PHARMACIST IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOURS, JUST TELL THEM YOU ARE A COLLEGE STUDENT DOING A RESEARCH PAPER OR SOMETHING. If you do not feel like admitting you smoke Marijuana. But it better for you ingest it rather than smoke it...One bowl a Joint is = to 4-5 cigs!! Freakin Scary

Stay Safe

ADR

Can you take Tylenol while on Sertraline?

yes you should be fine since antidepressants do not contain acetaminophen...however only take the recommended dosage because its easy to overdose on acetaminophen, and its a painful death to be honest. Check the little book in your medication and check to make sure there is none in your medicine

Can you take sertraline and Valium and codeine together?

Well technically yes. There are many people who are prescribed both medications. The Seroquel is an anti-psychotic given to those who suffer from bi-polar/manic depression (although in smaller doses it is given as a sleep aid).

The codeine is a very mild version of the stronger opiates such as Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and morphine. Funny enough, Codeine is a "pro-drug" because it actually converts to morphine in the blood stream. Of course the responsible thing for me to say is that you should only take the 2 together if prescribed...but let's get real...if you were prescribed them together you probably would not be asking the question to begin with LOL.

Medication reactions differ from person to person. For example, my husband takes 300mg XR Seroquel per day. If I were to take more than 25mg, I would be passed out for days! AND HE WEIGHS TWICE AS MUCH AS ME!! However in the same respect, I can take 3 Tylenol 4's w/Codeine and be pain free and slightly buzzed (which is wrong to say, but I am not going to lie to someone who wants a truthful answer). If my husband takes even ONE Tylenol 4 w/Codeine, he throws up all night.

Some people claim that Seroquel offers a hallucinogenic high accompanied by euphoria (similar to the feeling of being drunk). Others argue that when taken properly, Seroquel does not work instantly but rather kicks in over time (as with anti-depressants).

There is a moderate interaction between the 2 drugs...but it is only because they are both CNS depressants, and the pharmaceutical companies MUST advise the user about POSSIBLE respiratory depression. But in the same regard, you get the same warning about alcohol and Hydrocodone.

The best thing I can tell you is that if you are taking the drugs recreationally...take it slow, as Seroquel is a very powerful anti-psychotic. If you are prescribed both and are still worried...consult a pharmacist by calling a pharmacy in another town/citystate...in case you are worried about them "catching on" to abusive behavior.

PLEASE PLEASE do not listen to people on underground drug abuse forums...many of those people are beyond help and are probably taking ALOT more drugs than just these 2...and most likely in MUCH higher doses.

Be safe, consider the moderate interaction when dosing to avoid potential overdose (basically start with a low dose of each), and also check with a doctor or pharmacist (NOT an Internet junkie that is beyond help).

WELL...there is your long answer, there is no harm in learning about what we put in our bodies...and now I will tell you what you really wanted to hear the whole time:

YES, they are safe together IN MODERATION (and legally, only if prescribed). If you have ANY other questions regarding medications, I will be glad to tell you what I know and what I have experienced. So if you feel like asking more questions or just want some 411...respond to this and I will check back!

Be well, take care of yourself, and feel better :)

PS: I am not condoning illegal drug use and I am also not judging those abusers on the forum...it is just the truth.

PPS: Please disregard my spelling errors, the spell check on the thing is really wonky! LOL. Take care :)

Does ephedrine affect hair?

no friend ephedra and ephedrine don't cause hair loss. ephedrine is made up of a chinese herb and it increases body temperature , alertness and blood pressure and thus helps reduce fat. side effects are vomitting , nausea , insomnia , headaches etc. ephedrine is also used to treat cold , asthma etc.

so ephedrine does not cause hair loss. dht(di-hydro testosterone causes) hairfall.

you can use rogaine or minoxidill for hair loss it really helps.

but use ephedrine wisely.

How does Fentanyl and methadone mix?

YOU cannot use tramadol in combination with methadone. It is an opiate antagonist which if you are taking methadone can send you into instant severe withdrawl. I do not have the answer for methadone and fentanyl combination but do not use the tramadol methadone combination. If you do or have you are in for a very very scary experience. There are many pain meds you cannot mix with methadone. Take it from a life long methadone patient who has experienced what it is like to mix an opiate antagonist with methadone........Do not try it............................

Can you mix misoprostol and Valium?

I was wondering the same question. I am prescribed to Valium 10mg to take when needed for anxiety problems. I had some methadone to take just for the high 10mg pills. The majority of information that I have gotten has indicated that mixing Valium or any benziodiazapine (xanax, Valium, lorazepam, etc.) can kill you if you take to much. It can lower your breathing and stop your heart. So if you decide to mix anyways i would start off with a low dose maybe 10-15mg of methadone and 2-5mg of Valium (0.5-1mg of xanax) and work your way up from their. I wouldn't recommend taking more than 10-15 of valuim (2mg of xanax) with no more than 20 of methadone. Again I am not a doctor and results of this mixture could be fatal. I am a recreational methadone user maybe once or twice every 2 weeks. As it goes for all hard painkillers moderation is key. Methadone is a seriously addictive drug that leads to lots of overdoses. Be safe.
