Question 1

Accepted Answer

Only when the: contraception you are using fails. It should not be used as a substitute for birth control pills.

Question 2

how often can you take tramadol 50mg ?

Accepted Answer

Tramadol: The maximum daily dose of tramadol is 300mg.  Do be cautious, however,  tramadol is officially not considered to be addictive, but my own experience with it in patients has lead me to believe that it can be.

Question 3

how often can you take an epidural on the l2, 3?

Accepted Answer

In general: Drs who perform esi's will only do 3 per year (and this is also what insurance will generally cover).  These can be spaced out every couple of weeks or over several months depending on response.  If someone gets 3 in a row in a short period of time and there is little or no relief, esi is/was probably not the right solution for that patient.  These work best for pain from acute nerve compression.

Question 4

how often can you take a methylprednisone dose pak for gout flare ups. i've been taking them off and on when ever i get a fare up which is about every 4 to 6 months, sometimes longer?

Accepted Answer

: That amount of spacing shouldn't pose a problem from the medrol dospak. Are you taking allopurinol regularly to reduce uric acid level and prevent gout attacks?

Question 5

how often can you take magnesium citrate safely?

Accepted Answer

Depends on kidneys: Mag citrate has 2 benefits: treats constipation and prevents kidney stone formation. However, if you take mag citrate chronically, you need to check with your doctor because build up of magnesium in the blood could cause heart rhythm abnormality that is occasionally fatal (ventricular tachycardia). Kidney weakness decreases magnesium excretion and builds it up in the blood.
