sisiafrika: I will only take u people serious if u can correct her. But coming here to shout like pregnant woman won't change a thing. Ermm, who can suggest the antipsychotic or maybe Hypnotic and or anxiolytic, sedative drugs for phantom and his likes?

Sisi afrika, see me see trouble oo, there's no correction to make, go to their doctor's thread and see how they dish our prescription and do what the pharmacist is meant to do. Still I will say it is beef. The pulled down my friend when he opened a similar thread on NL. Why ? Why? Doctor why evils ? Why hate ? If my quotes are not right, why not correct it. I realy don't understand. I just relocated to the US and I asked my host who is a doctor if what am doing is wrong and she showed me several website that pharmacists from other countries give online advice etc. For anyone to ask question on NL, they can use google and know their left from right. Not everyone can see a doctor or can even go to a private hospital, so if I have a small cut on my leg, I need to go to the general hospital and queue for hours to see a doctor who will probably as me to come back in 3days for another appointment, please Doctors stop the beef, don't derail this thread, if you feel my prescription or response here are wrong, kindly correct me and not cuss me. I was still nice enough to even ask everyone I quoted on this thread to see a Doctor, what else do you guys want me to do. Seriously I was banned like 3times after they kept reporting me. Once again thanks sisi afrika

Feexo: House, is the yellow card compulsory for those leaving for the U.S.?

Rijo02: Go for Emirates since u don't like much stops......Me too.I booked Emirates and I bet its gonna be a nice flight experience. Just one stop at dubai before heading 13hrs to JFK.

13hrs, you gonna get bored and you a** gonna weep. From lagos to doh was 7hrs and I was still enjoying it but from doha to barcelona, mehn I nearly fainted and it was jst 6hrs oo. Goodluck sha

nas4q: Oga we don hear you ; you can now take ur leave. Oh lest I forgot never come back again. God bless you as you do so and if you quote anyone else again on dis thread, Na soponna go fire you !

thank you nas4q, make them stay on their thread, I will keep saying it am too busy to keep replying every now and then but from all the quotes and queries am getting, I can only see beef and nothing more. I tire for them. I don't even go on their doctor thread at all but why come here and saying shits. Na una get una mouth and I have decided to ignore anything they say, if they don't like it they should refer people to doctors thread, diagnose,consult, test, scan, produce the drugs online and dispense to them but if they can't then they should hug transformer.

adeoladrg: All you doctors coming here to complain about her prescribing anti TB drugs and prednisolone, see ehn! God will so punish you!!!!


If you know better, why not open a thread and give these patients free consultation? What's wrong if you correct the diagnosis and she attends to the drug issues?

I wrote prednisolone, I think I didn't check before I post that I didn't type the mg and d dose because I was rushing. Come to think of it, prescription for prednisolone when all if not most pharmacy sell it witout prescription. They only want to bring down the thread and even went as far as reporting me to the moderator and I got a ban and after I explained my case well, I was unban. Adeola why can't they go to all pharmacy website and blog and tell them not to give advice to people again and they must see a doctor. The people coming here to ask question know the way to the hospital but they want an alternative. Still after all my quotes and reply, I still told them to see a doctor , go for scan or tes(m what more do they want me to do. This same people don't want pharm D, they want to do everything, can the produce the drugs themselves ?

adeoladrg: Mr doctor, it's Cushing's disease(pituitary) or Cushing's syndrome (adrenal). It's not cushiness disease. See the quack consultants we're breeding! Vamoose jor!!!!

adeola , was waiting for you to come in here and save me from the hands of this beefers. She's calling somone quack but she's has check herself. I will let it slide. I don't even visit the doctors's thread because am too busy but if I have a different opinion, I will kindly give it not coming open am calling somone else a quack. How have you been and how's OOUth ?

dakotchic: Abeg the op no be pharmacist jor! Let PSN catch u, na jail u go rot for misleading and misinforming the public, misrepresenting facts and impersonation. God will judge people like you, always trying to cause chaos among learned colleagues of the highly esteemed medical profession. Shame on u and your quackery. Because there's a strife between doctors and JOHESU miscreants like you take advantage of it to wickedly mislead the innocent and poorly informed public. Shame on you cause we must all triumph for the good of our patients!

I will ignore you. Its so obvious its a beef. Keep ranting ok

Sponge3: Thanks.. how did u get to browse in the airport? What kind of network do u use. I Need this info pls.

you get free wifi and also barcelona if that you stop over is is spain., but if you get to new york, no free wifi for you , but you can buy boingo wireless wifi for $4 and you can use it at any airport stopovers in the US

Feexo: House, especially those already in the USA, I would like to know which of the below items are not allowed at the POE, and those I can easily buy in the USA instead of going with them:

Rice
Beans
Garri
Groundnut
Palm-oil
Body cream/lotion
Cologne & Roll-on
Dried pepper (I like pepperish food die)
Shaving clipper

Palm oil is not allow, inshort liquids are not allowed. You can get palm oil at african stores, tho expensive. There enoff rice in US, inshort different types. You can bring your body cream, tho I just got mine here. Yes dried pepper(atagungun) is allowed. You can come with your clipper. Roll on is allowed but cologne is not. Beans and garri is also allowed

Sponge3: To everyone going for their interview success is yours already. Go get it. My school resumes on the 25th of next month and I am traveling on the 25th of this month, hope the POE guys wont give me problems?

nah, you are are fine

Ecosol: Who are these people causing trouble here? OP has always given good solutions to issues raised and have also informed people to go for test or seek a specialist intervention where necessary. She is making impact in her own little way. U guys shuld make your suggestions politely as no one knows it all or u get the fuckoff!

thank you ecosol

nas4q: Miss Rx you are doing very well; I have come across several Rx blogs dat proffer similar solution to what you are providing here. For God's sake dis is d internet, most of the information needed is already on d net if nt all. So don't accuse her of breaching any ethical bullsh.it. thanks once again.

thank you sir, I realy appreciate you. Several pharmacy blogs and website give same solution I give. Am a community pharmacist and people walk in to complain and counsell and dispense drugs , for example if uyou have headache will I tell you to see a doctor first to test you if it chronic or acute, all I need to do is help the patient first . I don't know why they have problem with what am doing here. Tnx for understanding me. If anyone feel am not doing it right then they should give their own advice also. This thread is not only for me.

calmdown: I personally appreciate your efforts to put this down. I must confess, you have answered so many questions that we have not even asked. Enjoy your stay in US my sister from another mother. We shall join you soon. I am also flying Qatar but through Doha and Manchester.

thanks boss

Stewee: Once a mushin geh, always a mushin get baby!!!

nauty you, if I catch you. Anyways when are you flying mr pilot ?

efeboy: Hello house.

I am really desperate here as I am not completely sure if my own question/issue falls into this very category. However, help -however little or great- will be very much appreciated.

For the past few months I have been suffering this ingrown nail on my big toe. As a result of what I would call inaction on my part, I believe that the toe is infected. Worse even, it has spread to the closest small toe. As I have been having lingering sores (with pus) on the top my feet, my most worrying concern is that infection does not spread to all of my feet.

Please, in the absence of a Podiatrist (as it seems we do not have any in Lagos where I reside), where and how do I get help? Which medicine am I supposed to take to fight the infection? Can a pharmacist/pharmacy help me with this problem?

A reply to this post will be considered as soul-saving. Thanks for this thread.

I will advice you see your doctor asap but In d absence of seeing the nail infection,u can get candid B lotion make 2drops of it on d infected nails 3ce daily,avoid water contact on d legs plus itraconazole 200mg daily for 2weeks. In addition get tab cefixime 400mg daily for 3weeks
Note: Cefixime is a 3rd generation cephalosporin,safe n effective against any form of secondary infection in tinea species

thegeneral84: Pls this is totally wrong on a lot of levels. You shouldn't prescribe drugs online most especially anti-TB drugs. Not with the increase in multi-drug resistant TB and extreme drug-resistant TB cases which mostly developed due to poor drug adherence. I'm even sure your regulatory body will be against this. Do u realise that in hospitals a patient is counselled extensively on drug adherence, amongst others, before any attempt on starting the treatment is commenced? What about possible co-infections that are commonplace with TB patients (as a pharmacist u will know d particular one I'm talking about). Doing this trivialises the Health profession, in addition to being totally wrong. What you should tell the person is to go to a hospital for proper evaluation, counselling and treatment

The guy was so sure he has tuberculosis, read my quote well, I even said if he doesn't have the TB and he takes the drugs, its gonna be harmful to his health. All my quotes, I always tell everyone to go see a doctor or go for a test. Am not here to harm anyone. There thousand of online pharmacy blogs, website that they can ask this same question and get same reply. I can't do it alone, if you have another opinion concerning my prescription or reply, you can give them. This thread is not only for me. Am too busy but try to reply when am idle. Thanks

dakotchic: Oh mehn . This is not just wrong, it is unfair to the "patient". OMG, how can one treat a rash that one hasn't seen? There are a million and one types of rashes. How can one prescribe anusol for a boil in the anus? How did u diagnose this 'boil'? And the height of it all is to ask someone to take anti TB medications which mostly is directly observed for the first few months. If really the op is pharmacist, then I give up on Nigeria's health sector? Nah I doubt he is though, pharmacists have not descended that low to outright quackery!

madam I can see you are blind, like seriously, read the quote well. I reply question according to the info they gave me. How on earth will I know the type of boil he has, do I have spirtual eyes, if you read all my post, I kept emphasing they go for scan or lab test but I still prescribe a drug for maintenance. Nairaland is faceless, how do you expect me to test them , some people even withheld information and am only trying my best. I won't insult you but if you have any issue, take it to the moderator or start your own thread and possibly organise a lab test For them spiritually thanks

Feexo: Amerinancy, I am heading to WIU.

Zeezhabee, I booked Qatar Airways online and I later bought the ticket over the counter at their airport office. All I got was the: Electronic Ticket Itinerary Receipt. Now, at what point will one be able to print the boarding pass online? Also, kindly explain the part about checking-in online before departing for the airport.

ok nice one. The electronic receipt is ok and that what you will show them at the airport. Right now go to qatarairways.com and click on manage booking, type in your reference number and your last name, you can choose the seat you want and save it. 36hrs to your flight, you can check in online and print your boarding pass shikena

slimmy05: Its OK, imperioux suggested a few health insurance plan that's lower than that. My school charges 1630 for insurance.

oya gimme the cheaper ones

dahfweshdude69: sorry am just mentioning this...when I went to pick up my visa, I saw one small green paper in my passport and asked d dhl dude what it is for..he said once d visa expires, u don't need to visit d embassy in person, just pay ur visa fee.. send in your passport and other required documents to the embassy... please How true is that?

he's talking about visit visa

elektra: @ zeezahbee
the recommended health insurance cost around $1300 per year. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll call them.

mine is $1470, so you can see yours is cheaper sef. Some schs charge higher

bbdd: You no dey sleep??
It's deep into the night over there na
Lol

I no see sleep o, I sleep around 7pm and I woke 3am. Am getting over the naija timing gradually

Feexo: Peeps,
I would like to know if stopping in NY for 2-3 days is not a problem at POE as my final destination is Illinois. My school resumes August 18th, and I leave Nigeria on August 9th.

Zeezhabee, Bethel for Layi-Oyekanmi? What year? You must know Mr Tomide Ajifowowe then...

when was the then ? Lol. I left bethel in 04/2005. Chaii they thought me french

Rijo02: Nice experience zeezahbee though u felt bored in between. Not bad generally. Why were dey requesting for schengen visa? I thought you were just on transit? U didn't mention your US POE experience. How did it go? Then the GTb Master Card stuff. If you want to withdraw money in order to open a US bank account, what is the charge? Where there charges associated with the payments you have been making with the card? Finally did u declare u had $500?

for gtb card, if yous wipe it at walmart or anywhere, I don't think there's any charges but if you use the ATM u will be charge 420naira, that $3. About the schegen visa iish, maybe they just employed those people because seriously I don't understand. Though they later free evryone but it was somhow

MY POE experience
POE was fine, I took my bags and collect the CBP form, in this form they will ask you to declare everything you came in with though most people don't declare and they scale through, I no get that kind mind, so I declared all my food stuff. They a part you will write the address of where you are going, NOte : even though you are still visiting anyone, changing school. Abeg write the name of the school that's on your visa and i20 on the form to avoid questioning. Maintain eye contact so they can know you are not lying. The guy ask for my i20 and I gave him i20 and admission letter join so he can know am genuine. He look at my face for 30 seconds and I didn't blink my eye, think he was reading me mind or something lol, he said I should thumb print just me right four fingers and he ask me to stand well and he snap my pics and said welcome to US. JFK POE is a busy one and the queue is always long, they don't have much time to scrutinize anyhow but if you carry igbo,skunk or any kinda illegal stuff, they will catch you o. You body language matters, inshort some people didn't have anything on them but if you shake anyhow, they fit suspect u. Well I was sent to secondary inspection because I declared I had food stuffs, inshort most naija were taken there. They open the bag I said the food stuff was and took thrash my dried stock meat and ponmo, he pain me die and the guy said they have enough meat in USA, I just bone and left. That was all

Got to the airport around 1.30pm for a 2.10pm flight, I was the last to check in and I already heard gist about those airport peeps trying to extort people, I didn't pay a dime, I use a ziplock bag to pack my food stuff and it was transparent enough. NOte: don't pack you food stuff in black nylon or bag, get a white transparent pack. So everything was visible enough, I already checked in online before I left home and I even printed my boarding pass so it was easy for them because I picked my seat already. I passed through immigration easily and when the checked my hand bag, I was with my nivea deodorant and they tried to seize it but I just say please please and they said oya go go your flight will move soon so I ran all the way to qatar boarding zone and they checked my bag again, this time they seize the deodorant and left my roll up, the claim it the deodorant is 150ml and they only allow 50ml, my roll on was 50ml, the woman they expect make I bribe am or something, I just bone and told her enjoy the fragrance #wicked me# and I move away slowly. I already met people waiting and in like 5mins everyone boarded and left naija exactly 2.10pm. Inflight entertainment make sense, I watch film sotay eye dey pain me, I cudnt sleep anyways and I was following the map, wine, soft drink, tea, coffee you fit order anytime. Not everyone on the flight were going to US, most were either dubai or qatar or Uk. Seems we were only 3 going to US. In 7hrs plus some mins, we landed at hamad airport, mehn con see as the airport big, before I reach my terminal my leg pain me heeen, we walked for like 20mins so I got to my terminal and bought a qatar pay phone and there was also free unlimited wifi at the airport but my stop over was for 1hrs 50mins and before I blink eye, time Don go and I was called for boarding flight to spain,the flight was different, we took an airport shuttle and we boarded, most people were white anyways but the 2 others were nigerian couple going to the US to have there baby so we were just 3 going from nigeria to US with qatar, the flight wasn't filled up, plenty space and that means plenty food, the chinese guy went to join seat at the back and sleep der, mesef con join seat and sleep, they gave us a small bag that contains brush, toothpaste,eye cover abi wetin dem dey call am sef lol and also eye blocker hehehehe# so it was late and the light might disturb you from sleeping, we landed spain around 7.35am and as we about to check in, I met a dubai girl also going to US to school, immigration didn't stamp us and they ask for schegen visa, they said we can't enter oo, na that time I know say them follow me for naija, them don get me. Me and the girl ran back to see if we can get back on the qatar plane and see if we can talk to them, but they didn't allow us. We kept shouting we are student and they were just speaking spanish, na xo I tell them say I need to board a flight to US in less than 30mins that if I miss my flight, I won't take it nice with them, I said it was the airline that gave connected us to spain and we paid and its none of our business because we paid the bills already, na xo the immigration woman reason with me and check my i20 and passport, I gave her full eye contact to show I was so serious, na xo them carry me go put for one room like that, they collected my school phone number and called, they also called qatar and confirmed and they came and ask me to go meet a guy that followed me to where I will boardto new york. Note : its not qatar that will take you to US, america airline will do. So I got to the america airline and waited for few mins, he be like say them dey use camera monitor us, they thought I fit elope and enter spain. They didn't stamp my visa because I no get schengen visa. Few Mins sha, we were on our way to new york, 8hours journey and it got boring and I was looking skin, my eyes were red but food surplus wella sha. We landed new york exactly 1pm. I went to get my 2 box and I already booked a US airways flight to texas for $298 so I went there straight and those ones said I need to pay $60 for the 2 box, I tot the money for box was included in the $298, well I paid the $60 with my GTBank card, I didn't knw my terminal to board and I was walking about, I went to sit somewhere and was using wifi and borrowed a charger from someone by the time I got to my terminal, them don lock flight door, still I was like them follow me com from nigeria. My flight was for 4.59pm and I got der 4.50pm and the woman was like they board 10mins ahead but she said I shouldn't worry that I will be placed on standby for any available flight, she gave me another ticket without any charges and still same arrival time, so around 6pm, they called my name and I boarded a flight to charlotte and then waited for 30mins and board another to houston and arrive 11.50pm and I went to get trolley, troy is for $5, you slot the $5 into the machine. Note : get more of $5 and $10 before you leave naija, you will need it to pay something and the trolley pulls out automatically so I waited for my box and I went to met one white guy to borrow me his fone to call my friend and he borrow me, so I carry my bag and exit. Well its been interesting since and the weather is so hot, in short the sun for here fit cook beans, 80 degree Fahrenheit(F) No form accent oo, its written all over you that you are JJC so just speak slowly and promise well, no one would laugh at you, our own accent beta sef, if you listen to chinese or india english, you will know you still have hope. Watch their mouth, body movement and follow instruction, don't shout on fone, if you don't know how to use something in the public place, ask questions, they understand you are new and there's always a first time. Abeg no cross road like mad man/woman, cars wait for people here. Take advantage of free wifi in some public place, I used wifi at one restaurant and I spent like one hour there eating and re filling coke. Well for money order, they ask for your state ID, I need to pay money order for something and it was they requested for state ID, the state ID is easy depends on where you are anyways, think they only need your visa and school i20 with admission letter.

exxy: pls house my school is in mississippi, how much will it cost me to take a flight from new york to mississippi valley state uni.

around $200-300, depends on when you book, the earlier the cheaper
