  • You Do Have Power

    Remember the last time you went to your doctor and told them about an ailment? The doctor then recommended treatment and you went along with it. Did you ask them why they chose that specific treatment? Did you ask them about other options? You have the power and intelligence to make decisions about...

  • Ibuprofen 800 mg concern?

    Hi there, it is okay if you’re just taking it once. If you’re having to take more than one 800mg tablet throughout the day, you should be eating more as it can cause stomach upset with anything less. READ MORE

  • How much food is required hen taking ibuprofen 800?

    Generally you want to take it on a full stomach, meaning you want to take it right after eating up until 2 hours after eating as your body will start to digest all that food. Do not take on an empty stomach. As for the amount of food, I would say enough for you to say you feel mostly full READ MORE

  • Do you have any medicine suggestions for treatment?

    Hi there, if you have not tried Allegra, that is something good to try, as well as Flonase nasal spray. Anything stronger is typically received by prescription only. I see you’ve tried cetirizine which is stronger than loratadine, but if you haven’t tried loratadine, that is also an option. If those don’t work, let me know and I can try to find other solutions for you based on your specific symptoms READ MORE

  • Interaction with medication?

    Yes, there is no interaction! READ MORE

  • Mirtazipine and ativan?

    Hi there, yes, taking Ativan with mirtazapine is okay. I would only do this occasionally, however, as it increases risk of confusion, dizziness, and poor motor function READ MORE

  • Pravastatin side effects?

    Yes, pravastatin can cause itchy skin by causing dry skin. Apply a good moisturizer like Aveeno, Cetaphil or Aquaphor. If the itching turns into a rash or gets a lot worse, consult with your doctor; you may be having an allergic reaction READ MORE

  • Alprazolam 0.25mg discontinuance?

    Hi there, that’s a great question. Taking alprazolam continuously for 2 months does require tapering. At a total of 0.5mg daily, however, your taper will be quite quick. For the first week, take 1 tablet in the morning and half a tablet at night. Week 2, take 1/2 tab in the morning and 1/2 tab at night. Week 3, take 1/2 tab in the morning and 0 tab at night. At week 4 you will be off of it. This will help prevent withdrawal symptoms. READ MORE

  • What time of day is best to take anxiety medication?

    Hi there, this depends heavily on the type of medication and how quickly it starts to work in your body. Some medications are taken daily as maintenance therapy, others can be taken as soon as you start to feel anxious, called “as needed” anxiety medications READ MORE

  • I took atenolol 5mg twice today 8 hours apart?

    Yes this is okay, but next time aim for 10 -12 hours apart. This will help prevent dizziness READ MORE

  • Can you take maalox 6 hours apart from milk of magnesia?

    Yes that is fine READ MORE

  • Which children's allergy medicine works best?

    Hi there, this will depend on her age. If she is over the age of 2, it is safe to take Claritin liquid or chewable tablets. If she is over 6 years, she can safety take Zyrtec liquid or dissolvable tablets. Follow the directions on the back of the packaging for dosing READ MORE

  • What medication should I take for heart palpitations?

    Hi there, I will need some background information. How often are these palpitations? Occasional palpitations in a healthy individual are normal. If you have other health conditions and it happens more frequently, I recommend speaking with a doctor; you may need prescription medications READ MORE

  • Took too much medication?

    Hi there, this dose is safe for your age and body size. If you are meant to take just 1 tablet and took 2 by accident, you will be okay; you may experience more fatigue and dizziness until it’s out of your system. READ MORE

  • Taking old Doxycycline?

    How old is the doxycycline? Typically as long as medications are stored in room temperature without temperature excursions, they are safe up to at least 6 months after their expiration date (which should be printed on the medication bottle). Remove these capsules somewhere you will not accidentally take them again, but this once will not harm you READ MORE

  • How do I know if I need anxiety medication?

    Hi there, this is a great question for your primary care provider. The answer depends on several life factors and physical symptoms you are feeling. Not all anxiety bouts need medications, but if it’s a chronic thing you’re feeling, you may benefit from medications, along with therapy READ MORE

  • Do antidepressants really work for anxiety?

    This depends on the drug. Some antidepressants, such as Zoloft, do work for anxiety, but at higher doses. But this is not the case for all antidepressants READ MORE

  • What painkillers can I give my daughter?

    My answer will depend on her age, and type of headache she is experiencing. Some typical painkillers include Advil, Tylenol, and Aspirin, but I cannot provide a solid answer without more details READ MORE

  • Is there medication for addiction?

    Yes, it is a prescription medication that you need to be prescribed by a provider READ MORE

  • Can I give my child medication for seasonal allergies?

    Depends on the age. Claritin is safe for those 2 years and up, Zyrtec is safe for those 6 years and up. Check package instructions for dose recommendations READ MORE
