NYSTATIN AND TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE vs PREDNISONE

Got an RX written as TAC 0.1% cream. My first thought was protopic but it only comes as ung so it couldn't be that. I guess it could stand for triamcinolone acetonide cream but why write cream twice?

Posting my story here in case it might help even one person going through what I was going through. I've been dealing with a chronically itchy inner vulva for about the past two years.

Since November of last year, I have had what I think is a yeast infection. I am a teenager currently, and I have little experience with these kinds of things.

TL;DR: After 4 months, The efficacy of Humira seems to have bottomed out for me. My dermatologist has offered to help me switch biologics, or for me to wait and see what my new rheumatologist thinks at my first appointment in September. Not exactly sure what to do. Wondering if anyone else has expe

I was given Nystatin/Triamcinolone Acetonide 100000unit/g-0.1% Topical Ointment for vulvar and anal itching. So far I’ve had more anal irritation and itching since starting it. I am allergic to things in cream but the ointment is cleared by my allergist. Anyone have similar experience?

I’m(24F) constantly itchy & irritated. I’m extremely depressed & my self esteem has been reaching lows that I didn’t know were possible. I’m so tired of missing out on my life because of this. If anyone has been through something similar & made it out on the otherside with their sanity &

Edit: I deleted the vaping post a while ago because doctors kept judging me for it. I’ve kept screenshots of it, they were moderators telling me NOT to go to the ER making me feel stupid. At eosinophil of 5800. So yeah. I’m not lying about the post I just deleted it because of anxiety before the hos

31F, don’t want to give too much identifying info since there aren’t that many bat rehabilitators in the world. No relevant PMH. I’m normally the one answering questions about rabies, not asking them, but this is more than I know and more than my doctor knows, so I’m hoping this might happen to be s

Hi everyone (throwaway account here), I need help on how to proceed with a meeting I am going to have with my staff pharmacist who got caught on camera stealing drugs at 5 different instances in the past 3 months. All drugs were non narcotic for personal use such as cochicine, nitrofurantoin, naprox

Yesterday, I had a prescriber send over 12 seperate prednisone rx's trying to do a taper. Today, I had a prescriber writing for the 2.4mg wegovy but to inject 0.5mg. I asked them if they instructed the patient on how to get 0.5mg out of a pen designed to inject 2.4mg and they said "no, why? did the

Before official corona virus news started trickling in, I recall a large number of people coming into the pharmacy for a few months with a terrible cough that wouldn’t go away. For the most part these were regulars I had known for years with no outstanding health problems. Now that I think back we w

Hello. Just got a message from pharmacy about norco for chronic pain in an elderly patient, “alternative requested, please add icd code, is patient seeing pain specialist.” I do appreciate the concern, however in this particular patient I believe it is warranted, (she has tried several other class
