Question 1

side effects of codein cough syrup, consuming from last 8 years.?

Accepted Answer

Codeine : If you are asking about 8 year old cough syrup then likely only sedation and possible abdominal pain or nausea. Don't take meds that old, who knows what else could be in there now or what chemicals have broken down. You wouldn't drink milk that old!

Question 2

what are the side effects of  overdosing a 3yr old with 15ml dose of berotec syrup as opposed  to the recommended  5ml?

Accepted Answer

Tachycardia: Used as bronchodilator. Can cause tachycardia ( increased heart rate), jitteriness and hyperactivity.

Question 3

is it good to use aristozyme and lacsyp syrup,s for constipation? will these have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Laxatives: Lacsyp is a laxative like lactulose, aristozyme is a digestive enzyme not a laxative. Occasional laxative use may be OK, but it's far better to increase natural fiber in your diet or add soluble fiber to maintain normal and regular bowel movements.

Question 4

i am taking lexapro (escitalopram) in the morning and one day had a coffee with vanilla syrup in it and had bad side effects i became disorientated. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: There is likely no relationship between your drinking coffee and the side effects. Talk to your healthcare provider about your symptoms.

Question 5

what r side effects of dextromethorphan cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Minimal: Most over the counter cough medications (known as anti tussives) are typically very safe.  Dextromethoraphan is a good cough suppressant and there are many "branded" versions out there.  The most common side effects include dizziness and drowsiness; most people have no side effects.

Question 6

side effects of hydrocodone cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Some: Hydrocodone cough suppressants can have side effects. I typically caution my patients about decreased alertness, increased sleepiness and in my COPD patients decreased respiratory function.  In the elderly hydrocodone can cause significant confusion.

Question 7

what are the dangers and side effects of hycodan (hydrocodone) cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Nausea, drowsiness: Hycodan (hydrocodone) contains a narcotic that when ingested could give a "high", but it could also make people feel sick, nauseated, faint, groggy, have shallow breathing, get constipated.  Used over a long period of time, people get dependent, meaning they get withdrawal symptoms when stopping.  It's a medicine to be used with caution.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Common, may lessen with continued use, tolerance, if not, ask your doctor for an alternative, best wishes

Question 9

i have constipation and mild hemorrhoids.i've been using a syrup(duphalac 300 ml) for the stools to be soft and regular.does it have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Duphulac: Mild side effects may include gas, bloating, nausea, stomach rumbling (borborygmi), cramps. More severe side effects that should be reported to doc may include diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, seizures. Any medicine can cause allergic reaction: seek help immediately if get rash, hives, swelling of face/ tongue/throat, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing.

Question 10

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly
