Question 1

james is a 68yr old man with diabetes 220pounds and 5.11 , today when he stands hes dizzy and loses his motion as well, his sugar is 193, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: He may have low blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension), especially if he is on antihypertensive medication or medication for prostate problem. 
Sugar level of 193 should not cause any symptom except he has lost significant volume because of uncontrolled hyperhyperglycemia which can also cause orthostatic hypotension or exacerbate this adverse effect from the above medications.

Question 3

what is the function of andrews liver salt in the body?

Accepted Answer

Pricey placebo: The stuff is a mix of magnesium sulphate (which will give you loose bowels), sodium bicarbonate (which may make you belch) and citric acid (for taste, i suppose). It won't touch your liver. It is a scam. Don't waste your money. If you are sick, get with a scientific practitioner who's required by law not to tell you outrageous untruths.

Question 4

what are the side effect of andrews liver salt?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea ;...: The most common side effect is diarrhea, but this is to be expected since it is a laxative. It can cause high magnesium or low calcium in those who have kidney failure. While not listed as a side effect, because it has sodium it is likely to raise blood pressure in some.

Question 5

how quickly will andrews liver salts work on a kid? in relation to him being constipated.

Accepted Answer

Rearrange diet: The last i heard andrews liver salts was used primarily for an upset stomach and not constipation. I understand further that it is difficult to find.Finally i would not recommend its use in a child, since there are other products available that are made primarily for kids. The best approach would be to rearrange childs diet by removing excess milk products and substitute high fiber in rhe diet.

Question 6

hi, is it ok to take 'andrews salts' for tummy upset, whilst on citalopram. i took a 5ml spoon, but forgot to see if i can?now i'm worried incase u cant

Accepted Answer

Andrews Salts: Citalopram can certainly cause upset stomach.  Andrews salts contain magnesium sulphate. Sodium hydrgen carbonate and citric acid -- and will not interfere with citalopram.  Please let your doctor know about this, though.  Hoping your side effects (if this is the cause of your upset stomach) dissipate soon.

Question 7

12 weeks pregnant, and getting bad acid reflux. normally i would take andrews salts to settle my stomach, is it ok to take in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: There is not an enough data on long term consequences of this on pregnancy.

Question 8

do people who smoke mary jane really get dumber?

Accepted Answer

Actually some very: Smart folks smoke mj, but they act very dumb while under the influence. They think they are profound and brilliant, but they really are just stoned. Many not so smart people smoke, and they do not get any brighter afterward. It can be psychoaddictive and can tempt you to smoke and do nothing else. That is indeed not productive, if not dumb.

Question 9

Question 10
