The Restylane Procedure

Restylane injections are administered in the doctor’s office, typically for patients aged 35 to 60. It is most often performed with local anesthesia, especially if the lip is being treated. Since Restylane contains no lidocaine like collagen, patients may experience some pain and discomfort from the needle during injection.

Does Durolane have any long term benefit for knee pain?

A great advantage of DUROLANE is that it only requires one injection per treatment instead of the three to five that are necessary with competing products in order to achieve an effect. For the patient and the doctor this means that the risk of injection-related infections is reduced and that the patient does not need to come back so often. The effect of the treatment lasts approximately six months.

What is a Botox?

Botox is one of the many trade names for the neurotoxic protein called botulinum toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Nasonex or Nasacort when pregnant?

I’m suffering from horrendous nasal polyps – I’ve had them for years, but they are now growing out of control. I’ve been prescribed Betnesol drops a couple of times for them – this works really well… but within four days of stopping the polyps reach the end of my nostrils again. Unfortunately Betnesol cannot be used for long periods of time – so I was prescribed Nasacort… this doesn’t do a thing, so my GP prescribed Nasonex – but I’m too scared to use it due to it saying not to take in pregnancy.

I’ve tried the pharmacy and they say not to take any steroids – this is silly in my case… the polyps have made my asthma much worse & I’ve already ended up in A&E having to take a short course of oral steroids – obviously me suffocating is NOT safet for the baby than steroids! Right now I haven’t slept for two days… I keep waking up not breathing within minutes of falling asleep. My nose is completely blocked by these damn things – so much so that I can’t sniff at all – it is as someone is pinching them closed & it is blocked down my throat..

Allergy tablets won’t help with polyps… saline solution does nothing…

Can Nasonex raise your Blood Pressure?

Since I have been taking Nasonex/Astepro for sinus/allergies, I noticed my blood pressure has been going up. (141/97) I do have low blood sugar and I am wondering is there a connection.

Lamictal side effects and overdose

Lamictal may cause severe or life-threatening skin rash, especially in children and in people who take too high of a dose at the start of treatment with Lamictal. Serious skin rash may also be more likely to occur if you are taking Lamictal together with valproic acid (Depakene) or divalproex (Depakote). Seek emergency medical attention if you have a fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.

Is Enbrel or Humira a Narcotic?

Neither one of those meds are narcotics. Both of those meds are used to help control the pain, but it is not used in the same way as lortab would be used. Both meds are very expensive meds and Insurance may pay some but I will guarantee that you will still be paying ALOT out of pocket. I have many patients on it. I have seen cost range from 50 dollars to 1700 dollars out of pocket cost. They will continue your other meds until they see some kind of improvement with pain, then they will start to decrease the amounts of pain meds you are taking. It all depends on how your body reacts with the drugs. Every patient is different.

Is there a generic medicine for Tricor 145mg and Diovan hct 160/12.5mg?

Neither of these drugs has a generic and it’s going to be a few years. Tricor was reformulated about 2 years ago so it could be taken without regards to meals. I could see plain Diovan going generic in a year or two, but not Diovan HCT which is Diovan with a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Drug companies often add a drug, reformulate, change the strength, or whatever other trick they can think of to extend their patent on a medication.

Botox in the treatment of Severe Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for severe sweating, where patients with hyperhidrosis may sweat up to four or five times more than normal, far exceeding what is needed to regulate body temperature.
