Question 1

botox injection in rectum and on medication called suboxone which they want me tapper  this medication and take the pain medication does it hurt after?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does: Buprenorphine will block the pain-relieving effects of other opioid drugs (like morphine, oxycodone etc.) and if your doctors anticipate that you are going to have moderate to severe pain, the recommendation is to stop the Suboxone 2-3 days before, so that their pain medicines will work. Talk to your Suboxone prescriber about coordinating care with the people treating your anal problems.

Question 3

can hiv survive in air tight medication vials, especially botox vials, if vial is shared and contaminated? last patient before me was around 15hours

Accepted Answer

Probably no risk: If the Botox vial was accessed only by a health professional with a previously unused needle, there is no risk and no worry. Nobody ever gets HIV by this kind of event in a medical office. But of course no person treating him- or herself should ever use drugs or vials previously used by anyone else; if a used, HIV contaminated needle penetrated the vial, HIV could be a risk.

Migraine treatment: There are many good medications for migraine treatment. Migraine is a serious and complex neurologic disorder. Today effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education 2) non-pharmacological management (diet, sleep hygiene, acupuncture) and 3) pharmacological (triptans, topamax, (topiramate) etc) management.
