Doctor insights on: Hygienic Cleansing Medication

Why do you ask?: The colon cleanses itself. Folks who run enema parlors or sell bogus "purges" will show you "toxic bowel settlement" and so forth that supposedly only their stuff can remove. It is totally fake. Nothing will keep your colon health as much as drinking enough water, getting good physical exercise, and eating sensibly. Best wishes. ...Read more

Not adviseable: Possibly- it will certainly affect your GI tract and bowels ...Read more

"Instantly"? Not.: There is no way to "instantly" cleanse your system from using meth. Only way is to allow your body to process this, stop using, and stay clean. Again, crystal meth anonymous is a start in getting help with this extremely dangerous and addictive substance. http://www.crystalmeth.org/ further use will continue showing up on drug screens, and can eventually kill you. I hope you hear me. ...Read more

Family practice : It is probably safe to take together. I would advise you to ask your dr also to make sure he wants you to. ...Read more

Carrier state?: That is a low viral load (if it is measured in copies/ml). You may be in a carrier state - your doctor will have to decide that. You will then need to be followed closely and may not need any meds right now.. In the meantime, eat healthy, avoid excessive alcohol/acetaminophen intake. ...Read more

No idea either, but: Healthtap physicians have repeatedly addressed this subject with a clear "no" answer to your question. There is virtually no value to colon flushes, cleansers, enemas, irrigation machines when the technique is accomplished to "detox" or eliminate "accumulated waste" or for weight loss. There are few real health benefits, but sigificant unjustified risk. Don't use colonics please unless prescribed. ...Read more

Sciton Laser: Sciton' laser broad band light, bbl, has been shown to help acne by heating sebaceous glands and decreasing bacteria and oil production. It works best to get a series of treatments. Good luck! ...Read more

Caution: The cleanse might interfere with the absorption of your medications which could potentially put you at risk for any of a number of acute cardiac events. There is good science to support the benefits of the medications you have been prescribed. Do you have similar scientific or clinical evidence to support the benefits of your cleanse? Weigh your risks over your benefits and make a wise choice. ...Read more

Yes: Laxatives can affect the absorption of some medications. Warfarin, antibiotics, and heart medications can be affected by laxatives. ...Read more

Unlikely: Concerta is broken down by the liver and disposed of by the kidney. Green tea is not known to significantly effect cyp450 )which is what breaks down Concerta in the liver) so it shouldn't break down faster. Green tea can increase urine output but probably not enough to speed up the disposal of concerta, since only a very small amount is disposed of before being broken down. ...Read more

It depends: It depends on what you took. What does it say on the product package? You may find your answer there. ...Read more

Manage it anyway: There's no telling when acne will go away on its own. I was able to stop using topical benzoyl peroxide etc. when I was 50. Try this. Resolve that you're going to tough this out. See if you can tolerate 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and ask your physician about adding topical clindamycin or systemic tetracycline. It won't be pleasant but I bet you can bear it. Best wishes. ...Read more

Chin: Over-the-counter Hydrocortisone usually helps with this. Only use for a few days though on or near your face. ...Read more

Detoxification: Detoxification.

It doesn't work: Herbal detox preparations will not help you pass a drug test, nor will they cleanse your body of imaginary (or real) "toxins." Eat healthy, exercise and don't use drugs. Thanks for trusting HealthTap! ...Read more

There isn't one: None work reliably, and some contain adulterants that are tested for in commercial urine drug screens, so there is no good answer to this question other than to take responsibility for your actions and commit to appropriate drug treatment. ...Read more

A long time: Marijuana is a fat soluble drug. Depending on how much fat you have in your body, coupled with how much you used to smoke, makes a difference. It will leech out of your fat at a reasonably constant rate, even weeks after you have stopped using it. ...Read more

bad idea..: ..If what you expect is to drink excessive water to convert a tox screen into a (false) negative. This is a very common situation, expected by dr, easy to recognize (when osmolality, sodium, are checked at the same time) and dangerous, water intoxication, hyponatremia, seizures, coma, death may occur if overdone. If that was not the question, please rephrase it. Ask your dr. Stay clean. Good luck. ...Read more

Don't use drugs: Don't use drugs! (or delay the test). ...Read more

No: There is no evidence that "flushing" the body with excessive amounts of water will remove more of any drug, but it will sometimes make the urine so dilute that a drug they are testing for (cotinine) may fall below the detection limit and come up "negative." substances like milk thistle and other herbals are touted to help, but are unproven. Falsifying and adulterating specimens does you no favors. ...Read more

You can't : Time is only method.

Drug testing in preg: Drugs like marijuana remain in your system for 30 full days. Drugs like that are contraindicated in pregnancy. Long standing use can lead to abuse. If a drug test s taken and you have smoked in the last 30 days your drug test may show positive results. It is recommended to stop using using illicits drugs, alcohol and tobacco products. Your unborn baby deserves a fighting chance to be healthy. ...Read more

Highly doubt it: Never heard of it. If it were that efficacious the FDA probably wouldn't allow it on the market. Plus, the court can always use the hair drug test for cocaine, meth, opiates, THC, etc. No amount of "cleansing" beyond suspiciously shaving/plucking every single hair on your body including eyebrows & eyelashes would fix that. Best thing to do would be to just not use drugs. ...Read more

No it doesn't: No, taking Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) does not cleanse old medicines from your system -- it adds its own effects. If wanting to quit a drug, please discuss with your physician. Be well. ...Read more

Not likely: If you've been using drugs in the last few months, it can be detected in hair exam. None of the marketed products that supposedly cleanse your system of drug residue are guaranteed to fool such lab testing. This at least gives you new incentive to stop using drugs which can harm your health anyway. Good luck to you. ...Read more

Meds made fat: You ate more calories than you burned. Usually they stimualate appetite. ...Read more

Steroid like cream: Check with your pharmacist as their are steroid like creams that can help with hemorrhoids. Increase fiber and fluids so as not to get constipated, which can increase your risk of hemorrhoids. If severe, you may need to see a dr. For treatment. Best wishes. ...Read more

Two ways: Pain medication can work at the site of the pain like a anti inflamation medication or at the central nervous system like the opioids. Depending on the necessity for the doctor will prescribe the appropriate medication. ...Read more

Cold: Most of the medications don't really work and in fact may make the cold last longer. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for aches and fever. Mucinex to thin out secretions. Lots of fluids and rest. ...Read more

Not sure about less?: If you are taking drugs for a chronic condition like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension , then this a difficult question. If you are concerned about how many pills you are taking in a day, maybe combinations or long acting drugs can reduce the number. Either way, this is to be discussed with your physician since these alternatives are not for everyone. Good luck. ...Read more
