Question 4

recently completed medication for roundworm (ascariasis), when should we do tests to see the results of outcome by medication?

Accepted Answer

Likely no need.: Depending on the medication used,  the roundworm numbers are decimated or completely removed.  Even if there were a few left after therapy, you may likely be asymptomatic, as is, apparently, the case with slight infections.  Mebendazole is given over 3 days (100 mg PO q 12h x 3 days), and many other meds, like Albendazole only need one dose (400 mg po).  That seems to be all unless re-infected.

Question 5

Yes: Alcohol intake raises GGT and alt. Different medications affect different tests.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

It varies: It depends on the type of medication, how long you have been on the medication and your own physical health to clear the medication out of your system. Some medication may take a couple of weeks to improve after it is stopped, while others may be a month or more.If you just started taking the medication and are depressed, i would allow 2-4 weeks to adjust to the medication. Follow up with your dr.

Question 7

i am on pantoprozole for acid reflux and once a week i get rotten egg smelling belches followed by diarrhea. could it be caused by medication or what?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics: These medicines have been reported to alter healthy flora in the colon and make one succeptible to overgrowth of c difficile infection. This could be the diarrhea. Probiotics and a diet in short chained fructoligosacchardies from bananas, garlic, asparagus and tomatoes and whole grain wheat products can help establish normal flora while on these medications.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Please continue to: Work w/your doc or seek a another one.  He/she may refer to you to a neurologist or eye doc.  Stick with it until you have resolution.  Please don't jump to conclusions.  Lots of reasons for what you mention.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

switch from rituximab to ruxience. 1dose on nov 23, which caused nausea and vomiting. dose2 on dec 7. had menstrual last cycle on december 23. no menstruation in jan nor feb. side pain on left ovary side pain for a week. delay caused by medication?

Accepted Answer

: Ask your gynecologist to examine you because of your pelvic pain and missed periods. Rituximab or its biosimilar, ruxience, don't necessarily stop your menstrual cycle and women who don't want to become pregnant are advised to continue birth control while receiving these therapies. Is pregnancy possible? I assume you're on this therapy for autoimmune disorder and not malignancy.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not effectively: Both the tads and torida studies (depression treatment studies conducted by nimh) demonstrate maximum improvement in symptoms when medication is used in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy.
