The therapeutic range of a drug is the dosage range or blood plasma or serum concentration usually expected to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This does not mean that patients may not achieve benefit at concentrations below the minimum threshold, or may not experience adverse effects if kept within the range.

Whether the medication is working depends on how long you have been taking the medication and what the expected time is for the medication to be effectively working.

Do not drink a lot of grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit because you may have more side effects from buspirone.

I would not recommend it. Check with your pharmacist and healthcare provider.

If it is expired you should not take the medication and discard it. If it has not expired it would be safe to take. Consult with your healthcare provider.

No interactions were found between acetaminophen and Penicillin VK. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.

You need to take the medication as prescribed, which would be starting the medication over since the provider scripted a refill. However, steroids have a lot of long term side effects so I would recommend discussing this with the provider prior to starting a new round of the medication.

A person should not take bupropion and alcohol together. This is because alcohol can intensify the possible side effects associated with bupropion. It can also increase the risk of seizures, and the consequences can sometimes be fatal. A variety of medications may also interact negatively with bupropion.

Also, while recent research has shown that Wellbutrin (buproprion) and other non-stimulant drugs can reduce the characteristics of ADHD, but more studies are needed to quantify their effectiveness definitively.

This is an off-label use for the medication and honestly, I am not sure how effective it is.

There's no known interaction between Lexapro and Mucinex (guaifenesin). Mucinex is a type of drug called an expectorant. It's used to treat chest congestion and cough. Delsym (dextromethorphan), a different treatment for cough, is known to interact with Lexapro.

Always check with your pharmacist if you have any questions, especially drug interactions.
