check drug interactions

A:http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html google "drug interactions" for more

A:Yes, I took ritalin for 10 years and adderall for the last 2 and due to orthopedic problems, I have lived on ibuprofen at times. You should be fine. In the future, these questions are best left to a free call to your pharmacist. Don't take this kind of medical advice from anonymous strangers.

A:I don't know of any specific public (I'm assuming you want a web-based version) drug checker that does both pharmaceuticals and herbal medications. However, I know that a pharmacy (like Walgreens/Rite Aid, even your local pharmacist) should have reference books and on-line resources that they can look up and help you out with. Also, you can try www.webmd.com and searching by the herbal medication and reading up on it. Depending on the information available, sometimes they have a list of medicaitons that you shouldn't take together. I am a pharmacist and I have helped patients/doctors with there herbal/drug interactions questions. Good luck!

A:I would still take the Zantac tonight. I have never heard of a drug interaction between Zantac and Tylenol. Whatever you read is stating that concurrent use of ranitidine and acetaminophen may cause the acetominophen to become more toxic to the liver in ANIMALS. Studies in animals do not always hold true for humans as your next sentence stated. It also means that the dosage of acetaminophen (4000 mg/day) does not need to be decreased for people taking both drugs. A double blind placebo controlled study means that both the researchers and participants didn't know who was actually getting what medicine (Zantac or a sugar pill for example). This decreases any bias of the results. Placebo controlled means that there was a group of people who did not receive active medication (they probably got a sugar pill or something like that). Since you have a history of alcohol abuse, your liver may not function as well as the liver of others. If you are really concerned, you can adjust your dosage of acetaminophen to either 2000 mg/day which is recommended for those with liver impairment or chronic alcohol use, or 3000 mg/day which is recommended for those who may use it long term (like if you have arthritis or something similar). 4000 mg/day is maximum daily limit for those who use it casually (for occasional headaches, bodyaches, etc.) That being said, you are taking Zantac because your doctor has assessed the risks and benefits of using this, and the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. If you are still concerned, you should bring this to the attention of you primary care provider.

A:If you want a glimpse at a terrifying future, go to a nursing home. It should be illegal what they do to our loved ones. They are extremely under-staffed, due to low pay. They drug their patients to keep them docile and not kicking up a fuss when they are being ignored. My mother will never ever go to a home, nor will any of my loved ones, if it is in my power to keep them from it. :)
