Question 1

what are the adverse effects of beta blockers during cardiac rehabilitation?

Accepted Answer

Beta blockers: Beta blockers are the drug of choice for cardiac patients for prevention of future coronary events. The drug can lower the peak heart rate during exercise. However, patients can continue to get a good training effect even on the beta blockers. The benefits of the drugs far outweigh the potential risks unless the person has severe asthma that could be potentially made worse by the beta blockers.

Question 2

can i use kojivit cream to lighten my lips r there any adverse effects or any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Kojic acid : Kojic acid has bleaching potential and as such try it on discolored skin for a limited period of time (usually 6 weeks).

Question 3

are there adverse effects to taking elder for brief walk in the heat?

Accepted Answer

Precautions: If the elder is properly hydrated, not on medication that may suppress perspiration, can communicate if s/he experiences discomfort, a short walk is likely to do more good than harm.

Question 4

could you take both sanctura and fosomax without any adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

Should be OK: Hi. There should be a problem using both drugs. Remember, you MUST take Fosamax (alendronate) once/week on an empty stomach with water (only, and lots of it). I recommend waiting 60 minutes (not 30) before any other medicines, food, or beverages, and in that hour, have MORE water. Fosamax taken properly should have no interaction with Sanctura.

Question 5

can epilepsy medication have adverse effects on the baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most antiepileptics increase the rate of birth defects when used in the first trimester, but the overall rate is still fairly low (increases from baseline of about 1% to about 3%).

Importantly, antiepileptics may still be required if there are uncontrolled seizures.  One can't avoid them if one is seizing without them. Uncontrolled seizures are more dangerous than the drugs.

Question 6

has anyone had adverse effects from xalatan (latanoprost) for glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Some side effects: Known side effects of this glaucoma medication are burning, stinging, redness, elongation of the eye lashes, reversible darkening of the skin around the eye and irreversible darkening of the iris. In some rare occasions, it can exacerbate certain types of inflammation in the eye. In general, this is a very safe and well tolerated medication.

Question 7

does squinting your eyes have any adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

No, but ...: Squinting your eyes will not adversely affect your eyes but may be a sign that you have a refractive error (near-sightedness or far-sightedness) for which you may need glasses.  I recommend you see an eye doctor.

Question 8

could blowing my nose with a leaf have any adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

Tissue paper: While the best choice would obviously be a facial tissue or toilet paper, a leaf could be an effective alternative.  There is a big depends, though.  It depends on your choice of leaves.  There are many that could be safe, but many that would not be.  If you haven't had itching or rash from where it contacted your face, you'll probably be okay.  If you need again, use a part of your clothes.

Question 9

are there adverse effects of plan b on pseudotumor cerebri?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: The cause of pseudotumor cerebri is uknown.  It has been associated with implantable contraceptive devices, such as the Norplant and Mirena iud, which contain levonorgestrel.  Plan b consists of a dose of Levonorgestrel to prevent pregnancy.  There  are not studies showing direct causation. Discuss with the clinicians taking care of the condition before using this medication.

Question 10

are there adverse effects between perphenazine and trazodone?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Both of these agents prolong the qtc interval and can result in life-threatening arrhythmias.  Avoid the combo unless benefits outweigh the risks.

There are other interactions as well, but this should be the one that you definitely know about.
