Question 1

partner can only sustain erection for 1 minute at a time before going completely limp (with no ejaculation ever). he needs 1-2 hours of foreplay before getting hard for only 1 minute and deflating. is this erectile dysfunction or delayed ejaculation?

Accepted Answer

: What is described can be both erectile dysfunction, which is usually accompanied by delayed or absent ejaculation.  Obtain a referral to a urologist  for guidance and treatment.

Question 2

can i crush 2 500mg tablets of sustained release zithromax and put it in a fruit smoothie and drink it? i have a hard time swallowing large pills.

Accepted Answer

Nope.: I would not crush it, as you are changing how available the medication is in your system... more may be introduced into your bloodstream at one time than through gradual digestion.  Consider liquid versions of the antibiotics if swallowing is difficult.

Question 3

i took plan b pill 2 times before ovulation at different times and days. could the plan b pill delay the time i ovulated by a few days? ovulation was due on the 29th of november, im not sure if i ovulated on that day.whats the most likely scenario?

Accepted Answer

: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Question 4

can you crush prolisec delayed release otc tablets??? i was putting pill in a spoon with water and letting it dissolve in spoon do you think it would still work like that?

Accepted Answer

Delayed release med: The delayed release meds are made to slowly release the med over a longer period of time. If the tablet or capsule is opened or crushed it will not release the med as smoothly or for as long. There will still be some benefit, but not as long an effect.

Question 5

can timing or amount of my dinner delay my bcp even if i take it on time? for example, if i take the pill at 9 pm everyday, can my dinner make it metabolize slower? im afraid my bcp is less effective if its not on time due to food. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: The effectiveness of your birth control pill is NOT related to food. You can take it with food or in an empty stomach and choose any time of the day. The important thing is to take it at the same time each day

Question 6

for what length of time can the plan b pill delay your period?

Accepted Answer

If it delays your: Period more than 7 days, then take a pregnancy test and consult with your gynecologist.

Question 7

what are side effect of intaking of melformine hydrochloride sustained release tablets and what is remedy to avoid side effect to some extent?

Accepted Answer

GI upset .Agree.: Metformin can cause GI upset in some people who take the medication. The extended release tablets tend to cause this side effect less often however it is still possible. Taking the medication with food can help. And the diarrhea and upset stomach can go away or lessen after someone has been on the medication for a while.

Question 8

day 4 of pill free week..no bleeding yet, i had skipped my free week the last time and immediately started new pack could this be causing delay?

Accepted Answer

No period: If you do continuous pill use (skip pill free days and open new pack) you may have no bleeding at all.  I would go ahead and open your next pack now and continue to use it that way.  If any pregnancy syptoms, it would be reasonable to check a urine pregnancy test to be safe.

Question 9

i take my pill everyday, no pregnancies, every cycle is on time. this month isn't, but i've had a bad cold the past 3 days. is this delaying my cycle?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Remember that when you are taking birth control pills the pills are in charge of your cycle not your body. It is not rare to skip a cycle when taking birth control pills. Continue to monitor over the next few months. If you are concerned about pregnancy you can always check a pregnancy test

Question 10

i need to delay my periods by 6 weeks, my doctor prescribed premalute n 2x5mg tablets 3 times a day (6 tablests a day) for 6 weeks, is this dosage fin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The standard dose that  I could find was one tablet 3 times a day for 10 to 14 days beginning 3 days before the period is due with bleeding to be expected about 3 days after the last pill. This is from a New Zealand government  website called medsafe. It seems you want to delay your period longer and that maybe the reason for the higher dose. Hope this helps.
