Bankwo7:
Dear Pharm,I find out that my body system may have been altered by my family planning option(norplant 11).Please recommend libido boosting supplement/drug for female. Thanks.
Eeyah so sorry about the changes that you are experiencing in your body. I guess you implanted it long ago because the implant is no longer commonly used. All of them including the latest ones like Implanon and Nexplanon have side effects and they differ from one individual to another. You are not alone: here is Rebecca commenting on netmum
Yes, sex drive does disappear with an implant. I also suffered with mood swings and dreaded the nights my hubby was home from work! I have gone back to the depot and my moods have improved immensely but the sex drive is still no where to be found but I just have to give in because I worry he might go elsewhere!! So you are not alone
I just wish I could find working aphrodisiacs!

I would suggest you use personal lubricants before intimacy. Also encourage your man to do more romance with you before the act. Take fish oil or flaxseed oil. They will help too. Hope that answered your question?

what drug to take after tb treatment, nd still having high temperature
Take supplements like folic acid and fesolate with B complex. This will help you recover fast. There are well formulated nutritious drinks like Ensure. I dont think you need additional drugs when you had already completed your treatment. For your fever you can just take paracetamol. Hope that answered your question?

Good evening and kudos for your good work here. Please I have been having. Recurrent thphoid since 2010. Actually what happened then was that I didn't complete mu dose of chloramphenicol of 14 days prescribed to me by the doctor and since then I've not been enjoying myself. I used augmentine 1g this April and I'm down with typhoid again now. Pls wat drug can you recommend for me. Thanks in anticipation
You are welcome, Hollyb. First be sure you are having typhoid again by getting yourself tested at a reputable lab. There was a time I was having headache and I thought it was typhoid and I was taking chloramphenicol. That drug is no longer recommended cause it has much side effects such as ringing in the ear. Actually I didnt have typhoid. I was mentally stressed at that time. But here I was, taking chloramphenicol for what I didnt have. You want to be sure you are having typhoid. That is the only way Augmentin can work. But if truly your tests shows typhoid you may need to visit your doctor and tell him your medication history and he would probably place you on some injections. Hope that answered your questions?

Hi there, just want to share some experience on cyproheptadine.
It is commonly taken by some who wants to add some weight.
While it can make you eat more and thereby make you add, it definitely can give you some sick feelings i.e. makes you feel sick.
So if you find that it makes you feel sick, I just think you should forgo it RATHER than solving one problem causing another one.
Cheers.

Early this year, I went through a phase of life that got me so depressed for almost 1month. Lost a whole lot of weight and since I regain composure, I've been trying to add weight again but to no avail. Any supplement or drugs I can use in regaining weight loss? Preferably, that which I can get in the pharmacy easily. Thanks
Hi Wrench sowie about what happend. Pele. We all go through unpleasant things but life must go on. Concerning adding weight adding, just give it time and eat well while you take your mind away from it. Your inability to add again may be due to worry. However you can go for complan milk plus cyprigold. One tablet at night.It will boost your apetite. In addition rach out for Wellwoman or Wellman if you are a man.Hope that answred

Wat is d difference btw multivitamins and cod liver capsules, do they play same or different functions
Hi gommex, M/vitamins and cod liver oil capsules do different things. While multivitamins contain many vitamins needed by the body, cod liver oil contains omega 3 fatty acid that performs a different role in the body. So both can be taken together. Hope that answered your question?

please i need prescription to stop excessive skin drying, eczematous like patches, skin blistering due to immunosuppresive drugs. I think those drugs cause the side effect.
immunosuppresants can be weird I wont lie. Hair loss is equally one of the side effects. For the hair loss, Regaine for men or women is good. For dry skin get E45 urea cream. Take a lot of biotin. Cheers. I hope that answered your questions.

Pharm, thanks for the response. Much appreciated. Yes, I understand the fact that herbal drugs and supplements aren't proven like the orthodox ones. Thus, their claims to cure ailments and diseases weren't verified or validated. However, in this case, the manufacturer didn't even make any claim about the drug curing any ailment. That's my point. I found it curious that the manufacturers of the drug themselves indicated that the very drug that they have sold to you is NOT INTENDED to do ANYTHING ! By this admission, there would be no need for the FDA or NAFDAC to even carry out any validation at all, in the first place. Maybe it's just me, but it resembles a flim-flam.
May be we should interpret it this way. "These products are not intended to diagnose or treat on their own except the prescriber diagnoses you and recommends them. That is the perspective you should look at it from not that the products are intended to do nothing.

kindredspirit:
Good Morning. Please can you help me break down this statement usually written on the package of some drugs,especially herbals : THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT or PREVENT ANY DISEASE. I can't wrap my head round the meaning, try as I did. I'm taking a NAFDAC APPROVED product called SWISSGARDE EYE-BRITE. It contains Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Marigold extract ( 0.4mg Lutein and 17mcg Zeaxanthin), Bilberry extract ( 1.25mg Anthicyanodines), Vitamin C and E, selenium, Lechitin and Zinc. The statement comes across like a Caveat Emptor, somewhat. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent? What then is a drug meant for? If I had seen it before buying, I wouldn't have. What's your professional opinion?
Hi kindred spirit, thanks for the question I commend you for paying attention to details. If you notice, you will find out that all herbal supplements or medications that pass through NAFDAC will include in the label that the claims made by the manufacturer have not been verified. What that means is that when you take such medications it is at the risk of the prescriber and you taking it. So if anything happen in the process of taking it, NAFDAC will not be held responsible. Check US supplements and herbal medications too. FDA says thesame thing. So it is not only NAFDAC.
Supplements are not subjected to the rigorous safety standards like drugs. Moreso, these agencies are receiving a lot of applications from manufacturers. Once they assertain that the product contains what the manufacturer says it contains and subject it to the vital processes, they approve it. In conclusion, herbal supplements or medications have not be proven as much as orthodox medications. Hope that answered your question?

Hello the Pharmacist, i like to know if i can take yeast tablet as supplements freely? I am healthy but i heard it is good for general wellbeing - mental focus, skin, hair, and more.
Hi Standing5, Yeast is very good. It contains multiple macro and micro nutrients needed by the body for proper functioning. It is more of a supplement rather a medication. So if you feel like taking it just as a supplement you can. Not more than 6 tablets per day. It is especially good for the eyes and that is one of the reason I recommend it. Hope that answered your question? smiley wink

Good evening, the drug thiabendazole(mintezol) was prescribed for a friend of mine but we haven't had success finding it.
Please where in Nigeria can we get it and what dosage is to be used for a persistant worm issue.
Hi PenandPaper, thiabendazole is not that commonly used anymore because it has some unpleasant side effects. I would advise that your friend take albendazole (Zentel) instead. The dose is 400mg daily for three consecutive days. I hope that answered your question? smiley

Pls what is my chance of getting pregnant when am taking ovacare
Ovacare is a specially designed micronutrient formulation to support the requirement of women, who are trying to conceive. According to a study conducted by Rina Agrawal a consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, lifestyle is a major cause of multiple micronutrient deficiencies that make it more difficult for women to conceive. The idea behind Ovacare is to put together these micronutrients that are not readily available in our common foods so that women trying to conceive can have a better chance. Your chance of getting pregnant with Ovacare is high and with great hope. Hope that answered your question? wink smiley

Please how effective is m2 tone for irregular menstrual cycle and what's the dosage
M2 tone is a herbal drug made by Charak Company to help modulate a woman hormones thus helping with hormonal balance. It improves uterine health for fertility. The scientific nature of M2-Tone is not in doubt.
M2 tone is effective and I have seen people take it for that purpose. The normal dose for irregular menstrual cycle is two tablets morning and night for at least 3 months. Read more about your M2 tone at http://www.punchng.com/health/m2-tone-addyzoa-as-supplement-fertility-treatment/ and www.charak.com. Please consult with your doctor for more clarity.

Does acetylsalicylic acid have any negative effects?
ASA, Acetylsalycylic acid does have side effects as there is no drug without side effects just that some are more pronounced than the other.
ASA comes in different milligrams: 75mg, 300mg, etc. Two things definitely determines the side effect. The milligram you are taking and for how how long you are taking it.
The most pronounced side effect is stomach ulcer. That shouldnt be a problem though if you take it with food.
Hope that answers you question? smiley wink

]Taking supplements is not bad but you need to know why exactly you are taking what. Rose Hip Vit C is basically for those who are having bone and those who need an high dose of vitamin C. Primrose oil helps women handle menopausal syndromes. Biotic is necessary for good hair, nail and skin.
Vitamin A helps with better vision.

Hi everyone. Sometimes you go to google to search for drugs and supplements and the one you think is appropriate for use.
However, in most cases, you do not get what you are looking for because they are not written to specifically meet your needs and you get confused with the vast amount of information you find there. I understand how it feels to surf through the net and forums and not find someone to talk to.
Well that does not have to continue.
I have decided to start this thread to so you can have somebody to talk to on matters relating to drugs and supplements.

I will be glad to answer your questions. Cheers!
