Can you take penicillin and Zoloft together?

Yes -- there is no synergistic effect between these two very different medications. However, discontinuing Zoloft quickly without a ramp down can cause sudden onset depression; changes in the use of Zoloft should be done carefully, under a medical supervision.

Does Concerta delay your period?

While takeing conceta pills, It can make you bleed more on your period.

Can you take Concerta and oxycodone?

Together it is considered a "fine" buzz,

most consider it there favorite combination to mix with concerta.

Always realize a substance increaseing heart rate and one decreaseing heart rate, can be obviously dangerous, therefor keep in mind everyone reacts differently to drugs, and if you feel this combination to interact with you negatively in certain conditions, i'd suggest to stop use.

Can you take excedrin and Darvocet together?

You should NOT, ever take these medications together. There is absolutely no need for anyone to take two narcotics together. Darvocet is used for mild to moderate pain, Percocet is used for moderate to severe pain. They are not prescribed together for a reason. Because these medications are both narcotics, their effects will stack. It is an extremely bad idea to mix narcotics. If you are taking Percocet for pain, and it doesn't seem to be enough, it is time to talk to your doctor. No doctor would condone the use of these medications together. Yes you can use them together. They both are mild and contain Tylenol and will stop your pain. However, as with any drug, use as prescribed. Never take more than indicated.

Can you take and antidepressant while on suboxone?

"Yes. Antibiotics, in general, are not contraindicated in those taking opioid based medications. (Just make sure that you have not previously had an allergy to the particular antibiotic being described.) As always, check with your prescribing physician first.

This is completely wrong. Please do not take this single and uneducated answer as carte blanche to take them freely together.

Sourcing directly from the leaflet that comes with a Suboxone 8/2 prescription I will relay a passage that should be of use to you:

Some products may interact with this medication include

narcotic antagonists (such as baktrexibe), certain narcotic

pain medications (mixed narcotic agonist-antagonist such as

butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine [, buprenorphine.])

Other medications can affect the removal of buprenorphine

from your body, which may affect how buprenorphine works...

Examples include azole antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole), HIV

medications..., marcolide antibiotics(such as erythomycin),

rifamycins (e.g. rifabutib), St. John's wort, drugs used to treat seizures (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin), among others. The

risk of serious side effects (slow/shallow breathing, severe

drowsiness, dizziniess) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that may also affect breathing or

cause drowsiness...[anxiety medications: benzodiazepines,

primarily, including Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin

(clonazepam), Valium (diazepam), anti-seizure drugs,

sleeping aids, or narcotics (hydrocodone/oxycodone), and

psychiatric medicines (such as risperidone, amitriptyline,

trazadone).

Please folks, use extreme caution... Cipro is not just some antibiotic like Amoxicillin... These drugs are quinolone antibiotics and they are essentially a poison, without getting too technical. They prevent the bacteria from replicating their DNA. I had a terrible experience taking just one tablet in conjunction with no other drugs or interactive foods; it is a miracle for some, though!

Is it safe to take sleeping pills while on antibiotics?

It is OK to keep taking your sleeping pills. Antibiotics will not cause a problem with that. It is birth control pills which interact with antibiotics. Remember to take all of your antibiotics, even after you feel better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!

Cetirazine is an allergy medication and paracetamol is a pain medication and fever reducer. They are safe to take together.

Can you drink alcohol while taking Valtrex?

If it's for a short treatment (Valtrex for shingles or herpes treatment), you can take alcohol in small amount (but it will increase side effects). However, if it's a long term treatment (herpes prevention), you may speak with your doctor before taking alcohol to make sure your liver is going well.

Can you take penicillin if you are on methadone?

Yes, amoxicillin is understood to be safe to use with methadone (dolophine), but ALWAYS consult your physician and your pharmacist before taking any kind of prescription medication(s).

===

An important side note for methadone managed patients in regard to the concomitant use of a different antibiotic medication, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and methadone:

The concomitant use of methadone and ciprofloxacin is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of adverse effects of methadone (equating to methadone overdose).

Reason:

Inhibition of the enzymes that metabolize methadone (dolophine), i.e., CYP3A4 and/or CYP1A2 -- Ref: Eap et al. 2002; Herrlin et al. 2000.

Can you take adipex and methadone together?

When one takes Methadone, meaning methadone treatment, do not need to take Morphine. Therefore, taking those two for my personal opinion one do not have a need to take them together. You ether take Methadone alone, which according to me is the best one to take, or, just Morphine alone. So preferably do not mix them together.

Can you take two 0.5mg of Ativan at once?

Well, I'm only 5'2" and about 96 lbs and i just popped three bars. I've done six bars in one night before and didn't die/feel crappy/wreck a car/etc. Depends on your tolerance I suppose. When i first started, I always took one bar and was cool. My first time on two just made me sooooo sleepy and out of it. plus, you can't remember anything the next day.

How much Concerta is a lethal dose if snorted?

WARNING: Snorting methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) can cause cardiac arrest.

The problem with that is, there are no such studies on this. So maybe, you should think twice before attempting such a risky experiment.

Maybe the fatal dose is 72mg; maybe it's 3mg. I'm a doctor and I have not the faintest idea. Why don't you call a medical examiner and ask. You'll break the ice with him; so there won't be any sexual tension before he gets to look at you through a Y incision.

Can you eat salmon while taking warfarin?

Can I take Morphine and Ativan together?

Yes, but you should check with a doctor or pharmacist to learn if this may cause an ill effect.

Can you take Zoloft and percocet together?

Yes, they can be taken together.

Neurontin (or Gabapentin) was originally used to treat convulsions/seizures, but over the years, research showed that it was also effective for treating neuropathic pain (i.e. a pinched nerve) and many MD's prescribe Neurontin off-label for that type pain. ('Off-label' = prescribing a medication originally intended for one condition to treat a completely different one. Example (albeit, a benign one): Aspirin, originally used for pain/fever reduction is now used off-label as a blood thinner for people with high blood pressure, heart conditions, etc. Type your answer here...

What happens if you mix paracetamol or panadol with cough syrup?

Probably nothing will happen if you mix paracetamol or Panadol with cough syrup unless the cough suryp contains paracetamol too. There are for example some cough syrups that do contain paracetamol like Panadol Babies cough syrup. As long as you don't mix 2 or more drugs both containing paracetamol nothing will happen (if there aren't any other side effects beside paracetamol overdosing). However if you do take 2 paracetamol drugs you will get a headache and disorientation, and you should see a doctor immediately. If you have mixed only 2 drugs nothing serious will happen. However if you take a big overdose of paracetamol (on purpose or not) there is a big chance that you may die. If anything like this happens you must see a doctor immediately. Taking an overdose of paracetamol causes mainly inability of the liver to function. Causing a slow and very painful death. The patient gets irreversible and fatal liver damage and dies. The liver will begin to fail which will lead to jaundice (evidenced by a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes) abdominal pains, nausea, disorientation, confusion and if untreated soon after initial symptoms of the overdose - then it will lead to coma and shortly thereafter death. However there are people that have made it through all this and survived thanks to rapid treatment and if the antidote was successful - then this will lead to a very long and slow recovery with the prospect of future liver problems or if they are actually lucky the liver is a resilient organ which can over time repair. This is a very common problem. People may accidentally mix 2 paracetamol drugs and get only a headache but if someone tries to commit suicide with a big paracetamol overdose it is very likely that he would die. In your case probably nothing will happen or you can get only a headache. All this happens because paracetamol destroys the liver. You can also see that on every paracetamol drug packing is written that you should not take the drug if you have already taken/will take another drug that contains paracetamol.

Can Aleve be taken with tramadol?

It is not a good idea to take an over the counter pain medicine with a prescription pain medicine. The best way would be to ask the doctor who gave you the tramadol prescription whether you can take something over the counter. The prescription drug is stronger than the over the counter drug - you should not need any extra pain relief on top of a prescription.

What happen if mix two opioid drug?

Mixing two of the same types of drugs will double the side effects, maybe even magnify them further. Opiods are extremely sedating, so I would advise you not to try driving or doing anything that is going to require logical thought or reaction time until they wear off.

If you take enough of the medications, you will cause your breathing to stop - this is a good reason not to mix medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
