Should i take vitamin supplements and cod liver oil and evening primrose oil?

Vitamin supplements can be taken along with cod liver and evening primrose oil. Cod liver oil is a good source of Omega-3.

Can you take Zoloft and hydroxyzine together?

First, an important note: You should always discuss possible drug interactions with your physician.

Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine, and it can affect the action of some antibiotics (including doxyclcine) by causing your body to process the antibiotic more quickly. This can prevent the antibiotic from doing its job. You may need to take the doxyclcine for a longer period of time, or you may need to hold off on the hydroxyzine until you've successfully treated your infection.

With that said, if a doctor prescribes an antihistamine along with an antibiotic, you can safely take both medications. Make sure your physician knows about every drug you're taking when discussing treatments.

Why students tend to use drug and alcohol?

Well statistically here are some numbers to look at from teendrugabuse.us

"Statistics for 2002 reflect a slight drop in teenage drug usage to 8.3 percent for overall consumption of all illicit drugs. Still heading the list as most commonly used drug for troubled teens was marijuana (75% of all teen users) followed by cocaine (0.9%) and marijuana combined with one of more other drugs (20%). Cigarettes were found to be a strong precursor for troubled teens to who used illicit drugs, representing about eight times the number to those teens who smoked (48.1%) and those teens who did not (6.2%). Gender differences play a role as well amongst teenagers, with a greater majority of male teens using illegal drugs (12.3%) than their female teenage counterparts (10.9%)

Alcohol, a legal drug restricted to teens only by age, proves both plentiful, available and popular among teens aged twelve through seventeen, with both casual and binge drinking reflecting a higher percentage of usage in college-age teens (GDCADA, 2004)."

Does clindamycin and bactrim interact together?

I am allergic to bactrim and have been prescribed clindamycin for severe razor burn. I told my dr. about my allergy. Clindamycin topical works very well for me, never had a reaction. Although I should say officially I don't know.

Is it safe to take chantix and Wellbutrin together?

the safety of mixing these two drugs has not been evaluated.

The discussion with regard to drug interactions not occurring probably only refers to the blood levels and elimination rates.

The drug in Wellbutrin is also used for smoking cessation therapy, which is a different issue when talking about drug interactions than for how the drugs might interact when Wellbutrin is being used for depression.

Chantix has been in the news lately (CBS) as causing some users with no previous depression to commit suicide, so if I were you I would not fool with Chantix. Too many X factors.

Can you take unisom and Xanax?

That's not good. That would be two antihistamines and a respiratory suppressant. The active ingredient in unisom is an antihistamine...it makes you sleepy as a side effect. That's too many sleep agents.

Can you mix Klonopin with codeine?

Due to the sedating qualities of both medications and the excretion process of the body, I would suggest checking with your doctor before taking these two medications together. Any controlled substance needs to be followed by a physician, and preferably the same physician to avoid overlaps of medicines.

Can you eat yogurt while on antibiotics?

1. You don't eat it. You put it on the vagina.

2. It might feel better since it's cold but using yoghurt for yeast infection is a myth.

3. It usually clears by itself but there's also meds at the pharmacy.

Can you take Prozac and Concerta at the same time?

These 2 meds are in two completely different classes. Prozac is a SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) while Concerta is methylphenidate, a stimulant--acts on the dopamine in your brain. Concerta is essentially the same as Ritalin, only it's an extended release version. Prozac is used to treat depression/anxiety, among other uses, while Concerta is used to treat ADHD/ADD. That said, depression/anxiety can have symptoms that mimic the symptoms of ADHD. Lack of focus, concentration, irritability...to name a few. A diagnosis of ADD often comes after trials of SSRI treatment don't work. And also, sometimes these 2 meds are prescribed together, as oftentimes, ADHD and anxiety can go hand-in-hand.

What happens if you take Concerta and don't need it?

Answer: Even if you do not need it, it would probably still help you focus and give you a longer attention span, and help you to concentrate. However, it still has the potential to cause suicidal thoughts in children, so keep this in mind.

Can you take Tylenol Cold together with Zoloft?

Can you take percocet and gabapentin and naproxen together?

Absolutely - in fact, before certain NSAIDS got a bad rap a few years back (for nothing) Naproxen and Percocet were usually prescribed together. I still use it occasionally with my Percocet.

Naproxen as a generic drug isn't buffered, and can be hard on your stomach. Aleve is Naproxen in buffered and non-prescription dosages. If you want to take Naproxen with Percocet and get the benefit of buffering, just substitute Aleve for Naproxen and just increase it to prescription levels (500mg).

Can you take Tamiflu and Motrin?

The healthy patient is likely to be just fine taking these two unrelated medicines in conjunction as long as the directions for each are followed to the letter.

What does a drug and alcohol evaluation consist of?

A drug and alcohol evaluation is basically a discussion of one's drinking and drug using habits, and their consequences. A checklist is normally used, and the answers to the questions pretty much tell the story. Inpatient settings usually include a physical exam by a doctor or nurse practitioner as well.

Can theraflu and amoxicillin be taken together?

Yes you can, as long as you follow the directions of a doctor and read the product information. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic which is used to treat bacterial infections. Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Used together, the antibiotic treats the source of the infection and Tylenol treats the affects (fever and pain).

Always consult your doctor before taking any medications.

Can you take meclizine and tums together?

You really shouldn't be taking Reglan at all, to be honest. Metoclopramide, the active ingredient in Reglan, increases muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract which can lead to a number of very serious and chronic disorders. I would just stick to the Tums.

Does omeprazole affect the birth control pill?

No. It is a proton pump inhibitor. It decreases acid secretion in your stomach. It is often used in ulcer therapy, gastric-esophageal reflux disease and chronic heart burn.

This is NOT a contraceptive.

Can you take Ibuprofen and Oxycontin together?

Yes that's fine just know that the midol has caffeine in it which is an "upper" and the codine is a "downer" so it may make you sick on the stomach. And also watch the amount of aceteminophen you ingest.

What medications should not be mixed with alcohol?

Pretty much all of them, though to greatly varying degrees.

There are many medications that can be dangerous and even fatal when taken with alcohol, far too many to enumerate here in detail, but the CNS depressants make up the biggest category. These would include benzodiazepines (like Valium and xanax) to barbiturates (like phenobarbitol), ketamine, ambien, imovane, quaalude, noctec, and so on.

With many other drugs, alcohol can simply interfere with their ability to work. For example, mixing alcohol with antibiotics can inhibit the antibiotics making them less likely to work and increasing the risk of an even worse re-infection.

When in doubt, ask your doctor.

Can you take saboxen with codeine?

No. You are taking suboxone to treat addiction to things like codeine!

If you are having cravings, you need to contact your addiction doctor and get some help instead of looking for a fix.
