Question 6

have a 17-year-old taking bactrim sulfamethoxazole tmp  wondering if there will be any drug interaction if she takes an herbal allergy pill that i got at the health food center that has  vitamin a , c, pantothenic acid , calcium , zinc, quercetin, n-acety

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: I doubt there is any serious potential for an adverse interaction. However, one of the problems with "natural" medicines, herbal products, and nutritional supplements, etc is that their exact contents often are unknown, And even when known, there is little research on interations with other drugs. So hard to be certain -- but probably no problem.

Question 9

is there an otc medicine i can take for winter allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume you must be referring to dry, itchy skin that occurs in winter also called the winter itch. It is not an allergy but caused by drying of the skin due to evaporation of skin oils. This is due to the low humidity and use of dry indoor heat. The treatment is regular application of a good skin moisturizer daily after bath and also using a humidifier to reduce dryness.

Question 10

could allergy to a specific drug ingredient develop over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Drug allergy is a complex issue, so many drugs r in the market with many active / inactive ingredients, fortunately enough only few people develop drug allergy, if at all in doubt stop the medicine review it with ur doctor to replace it, if it is an absolute necessity to take the drug in question consult an allergist.
