Hi everyone.  Need help . Someone told me that Ephedra shows up in urine and blood tests as an illegal drug.  Took those tests today.  I take Ephedra twice a week to help with weight loss.  Will it really show up, does anyone know?

Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book.  At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively.  What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like.  Thanks in advance.

DRUG ELUDING?DRUG ELUTING?

Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent."  QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent."  NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent."  SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct?  Thanks ahead of time.


Help on the drug board--osteoporosis drug?
Sorry..........thanks in advance, I appreciate it. 
my cat's spraying problem was a ton of bacteria in the urine
He was a feral that I adopted and he'd been spayed, etc., but he wouldn't stop spraying. I really thought I was going to have to have him put down. The RECEPTIONIST at the vet's office says, "So, have you had his urine checked?" which was about the only thing we HADN'T done - once he got that truckload of antibiotics under his *belt* he stopped spraying - that was two years ago and he has not sprayed one time since. By the way, if you have never tried "Anti Icky Poo" it is the best odor remover I have ever used and NOTHING else touches cat spray/urine like this product (I don't work for the company, honest) - the vet will even give you a needle to squirt it under the carpet with - it works enzymatically (is that a word?) and there won't be a trace of odor left. The odor won't come back either.

Anyway, just an idea. I hope you can figure it out because there is nothing worse than cat spray in the house....eeewhew!!
The doctor just said ^^ The patient was given a bolus of urine. ^^
Don't we just love our jobs !!
doc said the patient was dehydrated, so was given a bolus of URINE n/m

I hate to use mare's urine - think of the poor horse! but
it's the only thing that works for me. I have tried the *natural* stuff and ended up with either a bad tummy ache or nothing at all. It's the night sweats that I can't handle. Every night waking up drenched, unable to sleep. The doc convinced me it was a quality of life issue and basically, I wasn't having any, so I'm back on the very lowest dose. I hate it because of the horses and it doesn't cut out the hot flashes completely, but it helps.

The drug companies are too worried about men not being able to keep a hard on to explore the comfort of women. This research crap they are always handing us is just that, crap. They are looking for the big bucks. period.
You need to get the smell/urine enzymes out of the carpet and furniture - sm
The dog will just continue to go back to where he peeed (?) again and again because he smells his scent. I don't think neuturing him will make a difference in that respect. You need to go buy Nature's Miracle Odor & Stain remover. It's pricey but it does the job....I learned this by working at PetsMart years ago and by personal experience. You have to soak whatever it is the dog peeed on though and let it air dry, takes a couple days. You will have to decide on how to "contain" him until the smell is gone, either in a smaller area of the house, outside, whatever. You might want to seriously try training him to go outside. He never learned that he should NOT go inside so that behavior of him going wherever he wants in the house is going to be difficult if not impossible to change. You may want to call a professional legit dog trainer in the area and get their thoughts and suggestions. You are going to have a hard time modifying the dogs behavior, but with a LOT of persistance and consistency you can prevail. Good luck.

It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs.  It's over $90.  That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT.  The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.

Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test

Don't think that has to do with the knee.  How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee?  Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee. 


Not a word help question: Would menstrual blood mixed with urine cause increased microalbumin? (pl
My 21-YO daughter has type 2 DM, but it is very well controlled by diet alone.  She just had some lab tests done (blood and urine), and they called to let us know her urine microalbumin was slightly elevated.  However, she was on her period when they did the urine test, and she said there was definitely blood mixed in with her urine because of this.  Does anyone know if this would affect the microalbumin result?  They want her to start taking a small dose of lisinopril, but she doesn't want to and wants to wait 6 months for the next test.  Her hemoglobin A1c and other values were "perfect" according to the nurse who called, but we are waiting for the actual results to come via mail. 
happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

Can you help me with a drug? (sm)

sounds like "paraphosaphine".  I looked on every cancer site I knew, looked pyra, pira, fosa, phene, fene.  Couldn't find it anywhere.  Did I miss it?


 


Thanks


It is drug-eluting, so there QA!!!

Yes, drug-eluting...

The company I work for gives daily info e-mails and actually got one on this a few months ago - is common to transcribe eluding or alluding if you haven't heard it before.

best drug help website
Would be interested which is your fave drug reference source on the web for spellings, dosages, etc. - preferably one that doesn't result in tons of spam for illegal drug purchases - is there such a place?
Drug Screens
You are right! I would not be offended if asked to take a drug test - nothing to hide. I do not want someone having privy to my personal info who is on drugs and acting irresponsible. Had my identity stolen once, it is a nightmare to get straightened out. Don't want my SS# and other private info going to other countries either.

drug reference

I always use Drugs@FDA.  I have it in my favorites:  http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/


You can look up drug names by using as few as three letters.  I find it's quick and efficient, and it's free, and because it's the FDA it's the latest info on drugs.


Help on drug board if you have second :O)
thanks.
Get a drug that you can sue the manufacturer for later. sm
Get cured now, get rich later. Check out the lawyers' ads on late night TV. "Did you take this drug? Are you still alive, just barely? Then call this toll free number now before you die so we can collect a settlement for you." Good luck.
