Question 1

i suffer from gastritis and have been taking omephrozol for the last 15 years. what are the side effects or possible consequences of taking such meds for such a long period of time

gastritis?

Accepted Answer

PPI's: In recent years the medical literature has been filled with articles describing harmful effects of taking medications like omeprazole long term. I would consider switching to another class of medications called H2 blockers which are effective for gastritis. These include zantac and pepcid.

Question 2

i was wondering does the use of urine medicine alfuzosin hydrochloride 10mg tab for a long period of time have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Like all medicines it does have side effects. Alfuzosin (brand name Uroxatral) belongs to a group of medicines called alpa blockers. Althogh rare it can cause dizziness &amp;/or headache. Dizziness if it occurs would be due to what is known as postural hypotension (blood pressure decreasing when when getting up to the standing position).It is best to take it at bedtime.

Question 3

how often should i moisturise  per day?
and do lotions and creams have side effects on our health when applyed daily over a long period of time?

Accepted Answer

2-3 times a day: Moisturizers in general are safe and can be applied multiple times a day on the body.  Try using either cream or ointment which work better and avoid anything with perfumes or other fancy ingredients.  Stick to basics such as as aquaphor ointment or cetaphil cream

Accepted Answer

Do : Do you have a specific question?  I'd probably be bothered by the symptoms you are describing, which are definitely possible from taking effexor (venlafaxine).  I'd recommend going back to the physician prescribing this medication and discuss alternatives.

Question 5

wat is the side effects of dexamethasone use for long period?and what is the withdrawal effects?

Accepted Answer

Side effect: To put it simple, your mood will change, your fat issues will migrate, and your immune system will be more vulnerable.  Withdrawal is when you discontinue it sharply, you might get a chance of infection/ reinfection and/or worsening of condition.

Question 6

past 6 years i take pantop d ( pantaprazole 40mg +domopradine 20mg).if i take pantop d long period..it caoses any side effects sir.?

Accepted Answer

Not a U.S. medicine: Pantoprazole + domperidone combination is not a U.S. Drug. Some people reported headaches, abdominal cramps, or dry mouth while on long-term use of domperidone. Some using long-term Pantoprazole have reported low vitamin b-12, headaches, tummy aches, nausea, vomiting, or abnormal liver lab results. Of course, not everyone gets side effects, and these symptoms are also caused by other disorders.

Question 7

can side effects of a drug vary or come up over long period of usage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some drug side effects happen right away; some effects happen after prolonged use of the drug.  There is a lot of variation among different drugs and different types of reactions.

Question 8

do people experience side effects of accupril (quinapril) when taken over a long period?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: A side effect can happen at any time while taking a medication, but for something like accupril, (quinapril) the most common side effect of coughing should happen relatively early, within the first few months of being on the medication. Certain items like a rash, or swelling may occur after years on any medication.

Question 9

has anyone had any experience of side effects of accupril, lipitor (atorvastatin) or somac when taken over a long period?

Accepted Answer

Accupril & Lipitor (atorvastatin): I have perscribed these two meds for over 10 years.  Both of them are safe at the recommended doses.  Side effects for Accupril include elevated potassium and creatinine.  Similar effects for Lipitor (atorvastatin) are elevated liver enzymes and muscle aches or pains.  Overall they are safe at the recommended doses.

Question 10

long term side effects of effexor (venlafaxine)?

Accepted Answer

Effexor (venlafaxine): Effexor (venlafaxine) is used to treat depression and anxiety. The most common are headaches, high blood pressure, chest pain, blureed vision and withdrawals if tapered off too quickly.
The best advice is to call your doctor for medical advice about side effects, if concerned.
