Accepted Answer

Nelfinavir allergy: Nelfinavir is an HIV protease inhibitor used in the treatment of HIV infections. For possible adverse effects see:  https://www.drugs.com/sfx/nelfinavir-side-effects.html

Question 3

does truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir) and viracept work taken together ?

Accepted Answer

Anti-HIV: Yes, but more better tolerated combinations exist.

Question 4

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.

Question 5

which drug is a good allergy medication?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The choice of allergy medication depends on symptoms. There are several good over the counter antihistamines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Question 6

how can i tell if i have hives or a drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Subtle: hives can occur as part of an allergy syndrome.  people with chronic hives or who have an inborn low threshold for hives have difficulty differentiating simple hives from drug allergy.  If the drug reaction is IgE-mediated, or occurs via a similar pathway without IgE, then one would expect additional symptoms other than hives (breathing problem, dizzy, nausea, swelling, headache, etc)

Question 7

can my unborn child be harmed if i have a drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

No: Having a drug allergy is only a problem if you are exposed to the  drug. If there is a severe drug allergy during pregnancy there is a potential for a problem. Avoid the drug to which you are allergic.

Question 8

can muscle cramps be a sign of drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Athough any medicine can cause almost any possible side effect, having muscle cramps result from a drug allergy would be on the unusual side.  That being said, the statins for high cholesterol can cause muscle pain.  But that isn't an allergy.  Nevertheless, i would think about other possibilities first.  I would recommend seeing your regular physician.

Question 9

i have taken every over-the-counter drug possible. (zyrtec, clariton, etc.) is there a way to get rid of these allergies?

Accepted Answer

Sure there is!: Once medications no longer control your allergies, it is time to see a board certified allergist. You can get tested and see if you are a candidate for allergen desensitization. These provide you with long term relief from your allergies and minimize your dependence on medications. Find one in your local area at acaai.Org or aaaai.Org.

Question 10

hello, is there a medical drug, antibiotic, or natural herb to treat intestinal allergy caused by drinking milk or its derivatives?

Accepted Answer

: There is over the counter medicine called Lactaid that you can take right before you are going to ingest a milk product. It helps prevent the symptoms you would typically get like gas, bloating, discomfort, etc. Perhaps you should try it-follow the directions on the packet as far as how many pills to take. Good luck!
