Question 1

what are the side effects of taking divalproex drugs?

Accepted Answer

Depakote side effect: Divalproex is metabolized to valproic acid which can cause stomach upset.  Higher doses can be associated with weight gain and tremors.  The benefits for patients with bipolar, migraines and seizures are greater than most side effects pts have.  I often will use lower doses to keep side effects down and add an additional med such as lithium to boost the benefits.

Question 2

Question 3

Question 7

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 8

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.

Question 9

ampicilina 500 mg can the side effects cause you to die?

Accepted Answer

Possibly but rarely: I don't think you can die from Ampicillin unless you overdose or have a severe allergic reaction where your airway gets tightened, but that is rare.

Question 10

what are some side effects of polynerve 500?

Accepted Answer

Effects uncertain...: Polynerve 500 is an advertised product with claims of helping one's health. A patient should ask his doctor if the product is a real medication, approved by the fda for treating health problems. If the product is not a real medicine that has undergone years of real scientific testing, then one can't tell for sure if it works or not, and can't know what its side effects might be.
