No drug Interaction: Finasteride and levocarnitine can be taken together. Side effect for Finasteride is related to sexual function but its generally mild and transient. Side effects for levocarnitine are mostly gastrointestinal issues may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting. See your doctor regularly for continuous care and report any unusual weakness, swelling, fever/lightheaded.

Question 5

my doctor just prescribed levocarnitine. any serious side effects?

Accepted Answer

Mostly gastro: Hardly any in individuals who have documented carnitine deficiency, however some may experience stomach upsets or loose stool. Seizures are rare events and should alway prompt a full neurological/genetic workup as some rare metabolic conditions can be exacerbated with carnitine replacement even if they are deficient.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Question 10

need advice on asthma medication ?

Accepted Answer

Many types...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin) or levalbuterol (Xopenex) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an another medication that can be used.
