ACETAMINOPHEN vs NARATRIPTAN

TLDR; Wife, 30, was placed on ventilator today. Worried it is a death sentence. I cannot lose her. For auto mods, my wife is female, 30 years of age. She leads a healthy lifestyle and doesn't take any meds aside from occasionally taking pain meds like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and when she gets a m

32 (ftm) 158 lbs. I've had escalating bladder and urethral pain for months. My doctors don't seem to be taking it seriously. I'm the one asking for further testing while they keep repeatedly doing UTI and STD tests over and over that come back negative every time. The pain was and is severe. It feel

So this is going to be interesting. My husband is very worried and upset because a blood test be just did (to qualify for a new medication) returned with a really weird result. Dude does not drink, has trauma around alcohol so it's not like he's drinking in secret or something. Normal Ethanol Level

I'm a 36F and was diagnosed with Lupus at 23. Height: 5'3, Weight: 114, Race: White I had a bilateral salpingectomy done on the 7th of this month. During the procedure, my surgeon noticed that my liver was blue. She took a photo of it, but the blue doesn't show well. She said it looked far more blue

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there are any lesser-known or obscure OTC meds that don’t usually get much attention but can be surprisingly useful. Most people know the basics like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and antihistamines, but I’m curious about the more niche products that are still available

This seems like dispensing medication. Would this be regulated by pharmacy laws?

Do you think when ED nurses go to a restaurant they order their food, then 15 seconds after the server leaves the table they go find the server and ask where their food is? Some of these nurses are insane. God forbid an acetaminophen order is in the verification queue for more than 2 minutes. I und

I was berated by my boss (also a pharmacist) for trying to prevent a shelf count discrepancy by writing on the top of one of the bottles. Med errors are not likely to happen due to this in our pharmacy, but just look at them! He's like: "You (staff) pharmacists cannot even read the bottle labels to

My pharmacy is doing a word scramble for pharmacy week. My brain just can't figure some of these out. Can you guys help me out?

Not the kind of "spot the difference" I wanted to play.

The one with the red X above it is a schedule III but the others aren't control at all but I can't find a difference in any of them. Same ingredients, same strength, all tabs.. Anyone know? And while we're at it, why is chlordiazepoxide (Librium) a control but chlordiazepoxide/clidinium (Librax) is

This is my first post here, in fact my first post on reddit ever in many years of using it. I've decided to make this post as I have recently gotten back a good chunk of qualitly of life and felt its worth sharing, on the offchance it helps someone else to the same degree. **The Backstory:** I've re

Hi all, I just got out of my 4th or 5th appointment with my neurologist and she told me she's stumped and doesn't know what to do with me anymore. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. I'm only 20, trying to start my life. She said she'd talk to some of her colleagues and call me on tuesday but she looked hopel

I tend to experience more migraines during periods of high stress. I was talking about it with my therapist and we identified a pattern where I get immobilized by stress, then get a migraine because of a break in my routine. Then I really can’t do anything but lay in bed for days and wait until the

Tl;dr - I'm not good at tldr's but basically I tell a long story just to say I really appreciate the staff at the three letter pharmacy I go to lol I've had a migraine going on a week now, and I finally caved and called my doc because of new symptoms and the fact that my sumatriptan wasn't really al

My migraines started around 2000. They're usually mostly on one side (usually the left), and hurt like hell. They would sometimes get so bad that I would have nausea and, rarely, vomiting. They come with sensitivity to light, but no aura. Most of the time they start in the early morning. I wake up

Im so thankful for the wisdom and compassion here. I need the thoughts of you beautiful people!! Please share any ideas you have whether your own experience, medication ideas, what to tell my neuro, etc. I’ve had migraines since I was 12 but only diagnosed last year at age 24 with chronic migraine

So, over the past year or so, I have occasionally had edibles in the weekend (when others drank). Alcohol upsets my stomach and I almost always get a migraine (often already while still drinking my first glass!) Now I have noticed that those edibles (usually 5mg THC, sometimes with CBD, sometimes wi
