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’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
