Question 1

i am ttc, i take one day prenatal gummies daily and also one a day adult triple immune support. is that okay to take ?

Accepted Answer

: Prenatal vitamins are sufficient. You may take an over the counter multivitamin, in addition. Triple immune is not doing any good for your immune system.
Wish you good health!

Question 2

any problems with 3 days on 50 mg prednisone taking one pill a day as an adult?

Accepted Answer

Steroids : If the Prednisone has been prescribed for a particular diagnosis then there is no problem with that dose. Ask the prescriber about this

Question 3

is it safe to take one adult aspirin a day if i have pain? my doc told me it was safe as long as i "tolerated" it well.

Accepted Answer

Yes, maybe: An Aspirin a day can benefit men over the long run to decrease heart disease. In women, long term usage is less effective. If you take a lot of aspirin, it may cause GI irritation and actually bleeding. Thus, make sure you take it with food to help decrease this.

Question 5

how many days is cefuroxime axetil (zinnat) 500 mg twice per day given for strep tonsillitis for an adult? one dr said 10 days and the other said 7d

Accepted Answer

10: Although a shortened treatment time is common in many infections the 10 day duration is standard.It is both the type pf antibiotic &amp; length of kill time that is most effective in removing strep.

Question 6

my doctor tells me to take one baby aspirin per day with my high blood pressure.  can i take the adult aspirin instead?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin : No advantage of taking regular as opposed to baby Aspirin in anti-platelet activity for primary prevention in men.

Question 7

is 300 mg once a day of cefdinir enough to clear a uti infection in a 60 pound adult? im 4 foot 3 inch by the way in height. doc sent in 5 more days of it. i was burning still a little with only one pill left. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: You have a small body so that dose should be fine but I wonder how your doctor chose Cefdinir. Were the bacteria resistant to other antibiotics which are commonly used for bladder infection?

Question 8

my adult daughter has a swollen gland that is not painful on one side of her throat, no actual sore throat tho, for the last day, and is thinking the worst. what type of things could cause this swelling?

Accepted Answer

: By far the most common explanation is a minor infection of some sort. But if it persists more than a couple of weeks, she should see a doctor.

Question 9

as an older adult, why must i avoid some medications? which ones?

Accepted Answer

Elder meds: You need to take all meds your body needs =  your doc knows you from inside out knows what not to ad on to your regimen. In general, avoid meds that directly cause sleep problems = some blood pressure meds, some anti-cholesterol meds, diuretics. Anything that can be used in the morning be switched to morning doses, or change to equivalent med that do not affect sleep. Avoid meds that cause dizzine.

Question 10

is it possible for a toddler to overdose on one adult jel tablet?

Accepted Answer

? Advil (ibuprofen): If you are referring to an Advil (ibuprofen) gel tab and it was just 1 then unlikely. Encourage fluids. Call your poison control line to confirm. All the best.
