hi im on birth control pills.. is it ok to take neozep? i really have bad colds.. neozep contains phenylephrine hcl chlorphenamine maleate paracetamo

Question

Does phenylephrine HCl reduces the side effects of paracetamol if given together?

Answer 1

Yes: Phenylephrine HCl, Chlorphenamine Maleate and Paracetamol won't decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pills. Best wishes!

Answer 2

No: Birth control pills and HRT contain different types of Estrogens and progesterones and different dosages of hormones. They have been developed to meet different needs for women at different stages of their lives and thus have different risks, benefits, and side effects.

Answer 3

No: Birth control pills contain hormones, but the intended effect is to prevent pregnancy. Bc pills, as oral hormones, must be synthetic/semi-synthetic. Hormone replacement therapy ideally should be bioidentical (the same hormones you produce in your body), should be tailored to your specific needs (your levels should be checked), & should include both estrogen & Progesterone & possibly testosterone.

Answer 4

No!: Birth control pills use a very low dose of hormones. Hormone replacement therapy uses much higher doses that simulate what the body produces before menopause.

Answer 5

It's not.: It is used to diagnose GI tract birth defects; it is used to treat an acquired condition called intususception, in which small bowel "telescopes" and becomes jammed in large bowel. Barium under pressure pushes it back out while at the same time showing "before" and "after" pictures -- confirming both diagnosis and cure.

Answer 6

It doesn't treat.: A barium enema can be used to diagnose, but not to treat, congenital malformations of a baby's gastrointestinal tract. A different type of xray enema, called gastrograffin, may be used as treatment. It helps relieve intestinal obstruction when the meconium (baby's first green tar-like stool) is abnormally sticky and is causing a blockage, by helping to clear the meconium out of the intestine.

Answer 7

Is an X-ray study: A barium enema is an x-ray study. The barium goes up pass the anus, into the intestines, and fills the inside of the intestines. X-rays are taken, to see the shape of the intestines, which with barium will show up as white (on an otherwise blacker background) on the x-rays.

Answer 8

Usually not: Usually contrast enema is a diagnostic tool. Occasionally it can be used as a treatment.

Answer 9

Rarely: Babies with cystic fibrosis may have a bowel obstruction caused by thick stool referred to a meconium ileus. Some of these babies can benefit from a contrast (not barium) enema to help flush out the thick stool (meconium). Others will require surgical intervention.

Answer 10

Not likely: Anthrax vaccination is listed as pregnancy category c. Despite a lack of evidence showing harm, pregnant women should be vaccinated only if absolutely necessary. Breast feeding mothers may receive ava without any fear of passing anthrax to their infants. In 30 years, there has been no study or follow up issues to suggest the vaccination may harm a fetus, it just has not been studied in pregnant w.

Answer 11

Anthrax: Always check with your OB before getting any vaccines.

Answer 12

Possibly: Studies have shown that the use of birth control pills may be associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. This association appears to go away 10 years after discontinuing bcps.

Answer 13

Possibly: The birth control pills that have unopposed estrogen have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Although this remains controversial.

Answer 14

Yes: Women who use birth control pills (bcps) are at a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer yet this risk seems to disappear if you stop the medication more than 10 years previously and have not developed cancer during that decade. In contrast, bcps may lower the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Like all medications, there are risks v. Benefits that should be discussed with your doctor.

Answer 15

Perhaps: It would depend on the type of birth control. There may be an increased risk in those with unopposed estrogen. (no progesterone).
