To preface and head off some obvious advice, we've seen a pediatrician several times and upon receiving a referral scheduled the earliest ENT appointment we could. However, that's still several weeks away and it would set my mind at ease to get an idea what we're dealing with. My daughter 7F has had
Mine is tizanidine and ciprofloxacin, because it is so off the wall random to me. They are contraindicated together. Can you guess why? Cipro inhibits CYP1A2, which metabolizes tizanidine, causing a 10-fold increase in tizanidine Cmax, leading to respiratory depression, bradycardia, hypotension, pos
Need a second opinion because I can be sensitive. My pharmacist took a verbal Rx for ciprofloxacin 250 mg and wrote the sig as "2D x 6 days". I was data entry-ing it and thought that 2D wasn't a valid sig code? Surely she just meant 2 a day, since it was an antibiotic and typically those are dosed i

I'm 21F, 117lb, Asian (American). I do not drink or smoke ever. I have been going to my primary provider, hospital, and specialists constantly for my pain but to no avail. Every single time I've gone, the lab results, CT scans, and urine samples are all normal, nothing irregular. For a year now, I
So this has been ruining my life for the past 5 months and I don’t know what else to do anymore. Hoping someone here can give me some direction, or at least help me feel less alone. I’m 28 years old, 6 feet tall, and currently weigh about 64 kg — which is low for my height. I’ve always been on the l
So I had a kid with otitis externa. I wrote for “CIPRODEX.” Because insurances can be squirrelly about that, I wrote in the instructions: “May sub ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin gtt, same sig.” About a half hour later, I get a prior authorization notification in my E-mail asking me to consider formula
Came up with a simple mnemonic to remember what inhibits OATP activity: * Orange juice * Apple juice * Tea (green) * Pomelo (actually Grapefruit) juice And what has absorption inhibited by OATP inhibition? A canal in Florida or "FL CANAL": * Fexofenadine * Levofloxacin * Ciproflo

Hello, I'm 28M Last week I got an ear infection, possibly because water entered during a bath or there was dirt on my earphones. The ear got swollen inside and blocked, I went to a local ENT doc; he cleaned out some ear wax and he gave me: 1. Ceftibuten 400mg (once a day, 10 days course) 2. Ear drop
Hi, I'm 23F from a North African country. I had a shower and I felt water inside my right ear. I tried to get it out, but about three days after, I felt pain in my right ear. I went to the doctor (he is a surgeon only) and the diagnostic showed a fungal infection, Aspergillus and Candida fungu

Age: 18, Sex: Male, Weight: 135 lb From what I've researched online, eye drops aren't potent enough to really enter the bloodstream and can't interact with alcohol you drink. Is this true? Will I be fine as long as I stay hydrated while drinking? To be specific, I'm taking them for a week, but the d
