Reproduction studies done on rats have shown risks to the foetus. Controlled studies on humans during pregnancy are not available. For this reason, the use of VIRLIX Tablets and VIRLIX Oral Solution should be avoided during pregnancy. \nFDA Pregnancy Category B.

Allergies\n\nI have a son who is allergic to everything. He was about 8 months old when I started with Melaleuca. One by one I slowly tested each product. Melaleuca is the one thing I can use on him that works wonders! We use to buy 2-3 different types of laudry detergent because of allergies in my household. Now, it's only Mela Power. Renew Bath Oil and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy are awesome for any skin problems and I swear by that!  \nI know several people who have gotten off of their allergy medicine as well as inhalers after switching to Melaleuca. The first step is to get all of the harsh chemicals/toxins out of your home. Then get on the Daily for Life Pack and saturate with the Provex (1capsule/25 lbs per day for 2 weeks) Provex is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammitory and anti-histamine! It works wonderfully for allergies and asthma without the side effects of prescription medications! \nthat he got infections on his legs. The allergist that I went to put him on heavy cortisone, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have done it. That did clear him up but then it came back. Here's the great part.... within two weeks of TOTALLY converting our home to Melaleuca products, he was a different child. Attitude, everything. I am convinced that he felt miserable and (acted miserable) because of the allergies. Hallelujah!!!! The other story is about me, I was always allergic to Easter lilies, I have been taking ProvexCV and went in to the local store, saw the lilies and thought to myself, oh great here goes, my head is going to BLOW up. It didn't. I went over and sniffed, and then took in a big sniff and no blow up, and for any doubters, no the store hadn't pulled the centers out of the lilies! Hope these stories help, any questions, contact me at \nCV and I noticed my summer allergies were not as bad as they use to be... so it helped me too...

get yourself some pennyroyal; but, be very careful not to allow a lactating or pregnant mother use the herb...for them it would be dangerous...for you it will dry up your lungs tremendously

This is a difficult question to answer. In Australia, prozac is not recommended for use during pregancy or breast feeding. However, this is because there is a lack of data. Currently there is no information to suggest it has been dangerous for thousands of pregnant women who have taken the drug over the past 15 years during it's time on the market, apart from that in animal models. The women who have used it have shown no adverse effects but there may be some which have not yet been identified. \n\nDiscuss this with your doctor BEFORE stopping your medication. This is a personal choice you need to make. Ensure you are informed. Your doctor may feel it would be best for your health as well as your child's that you stay on the medication. Alternatively, he may also indicate you're doing well and may be safe without it. The best thing to do is not be alarmed by the comments above. Seek professional medical advice before making your decision.\n\nBest of luck!

On this issue, I would agree with the pharmacist. \n Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding\nReturn to top\n\nBactrim should not be taken during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, notify your doctor immediately. Bactrim does appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. It should not be taken while breastfeeding. \n\nThis information I copied and pasted off the Bactrim website.  I would call the doctor back and let him/her know that you can not take this medicine.  Also when they gave you the medicine at the drug store they should have given you a information page .  I would take and read that page as well.  If it says dont take it if your a breastfeeding then don't.\nThe doctor should give you another type of medication that will help .  But as it said all med's are transfered threw breastfeeding.  Maybe u can breastpump some milk for the baby before you start taking the medicine?

Per Medications' and Mothers' Milk by Thomas Hale, PhD, "Metronidazole (flagyl) is generally considered safe, but it can taint the taste of your milk and the infant may not like it."

my daughter was allergic. Zithromax is awesome. Very short dosage period and nipped it in the bud everytime. My girl got alwful stomach problems with all of the others. This was the only thing that worked.

I would get a few different opions from actual doctors instead of us average joes. I wouldn't want you to do something even it's natural. Some people are allergic even if the baby isn't born yet if it harms you then it could harm the baby. Congrats!

My aunt has lactose intolerance and she takes a pill before eating lactose products. Consult a doctor. And soy milk's also good.

I did a bit of research on the net to see what I could find out.\n\nI focused on the sites that were not trying to sell the product so nothing to gain by any information provided.\n\nHere are a couple sites that I found:\n\n(1) http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/herbaldrugs/101270.shtml\n\n(2) http://au.health.yahoo.com/041101/25/1umx.html?r=967507925\n\n\n\nIt seems it is not recommended to use in this day and age and if used should be done under medical supervision only. \n\nIt has been noted that overdose reaction in sheep is “spasms, paralysis, and death through asphyxiation” (1)\n“Possible side effects include headache, weakness, jitteriness, yellow-green saliva.”(2)\n\n\nIt is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women and for children and infants (2)\n\n\nI  scanned through a number of  other sites but unable to find anything specific to men or to any specific affect adverse or other wise specifically to men.

I commend you for preparing for your appointment with the allergist.  Being an informed patient fosters communication with doctor(s) and helps you make informed choices about your treatment plan(s).  I hope the following information is helpful in getting you as healthy as possible.  \n\n\nFirst of all, here are some "basics" that were helpful for me to know:\n#1: A better term for "allergies" is "hypersensitivities".\n\n#2: Allergies are grouped by the kind of trigger, time of year, or where symptoms appear on the body. \n\n#3:  Types of Allergies: \na) Indoor (aka “Nasal” Allergies)\nb) Outdoor (aka “Hay Fever” and “Nasal” Allergies) \nc) Food & Drug \nd) Latex \ne) Insect\nf) Skin\ng) Eye\n  \n\n#4: There are two ways to test for hypersentivities*:\na. Skin \nb. Blood \n\n\n#5: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies change with time.  Yup, just because you are not allergic to something in the past doesn’t assure you will not develop hypersensitivity down the road.\n\n#6: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies can be managed.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#7: Treatment does not make you hypersensitive -/ allergen-free.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#8: Most allergists do NOT test for or help with food hypersensitivities.  \n\n\n\nSo, with all that in mind, it is IMPERATIVE to know WHY you and your primary care physician (PCP) need the expertise of an Allergy & Immunology specialist.  Is it because: \n#1: You have never been diagnosed or tested?\n\n#2: You and your doctor want to rule out food hypersensitivity?  \n\n#3: You and your doctor suspect a NEW hypersensensitivity to certain foods, pets, drugs, etc.?\n\n#4: A preexisting condition - asthma, environmental hypersensitivity, skin disorder, etc. – require medications such as epinephrine and/or other prescriptions?   \n\n\n\nOnce you’ve ascertained the reason why you are seeing an allergist, here are some questions you may want to ask the allergist BEFORE your appointment:\n#1: Do you test for food allergies?\n\n#2: Do you treat food allergies?\n\n#3: Do you view food hypersensitivity as seriously as environmental hypersensitivity?\n\n#4: (If the allergist does treat food allergies.)  Do you prescribe epinephrine for severe food reactions?\n\n#5. Is there anything I need to do with my medication(s) to prepare for my appointment? \n\n#6. Do you practice/ prescribe alternative treatment (aka Naturopathy***)? \n\n\n\nTo make the most out of doctor visits, it always a good idea to:\n#1. (Especially on your initial visit)\nProvide thorough information (past & present) related to your hypersensitivities/ allergies**.  \n\n#2:  Provide an accurate and detailed list of all prescribed and over-the-counter products (include vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements/ shakes, herbs, etc.) you are currently taking.\n\n#3.  Update your list every time you see a provider\n\n\n\nLastly, if you have additional questions or would like more information, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) now provides online access to an allergy specialist.  Questions can be submitted online at http://www.aafa.org/ask_allergist_online.cfm

Talk to your baby's doctor. He/She will advise you on which type to switch to based on your baby's individual needs. I wouldn't just start trying all the suggestions that will surely be posted in response to your question w/o first talking to the Doc. Remember, your baby's immune system is still developing!!

absolutely.  If these are over the counter meds you have plenty of safety margin on dosage and they expect you to mix that combo so the reactions between them are very rare.  Go for it and feel better.  I do it all allergy season long.

Yes the milk would be fine, but the baby would only become a vampire if bitten. Chances are if they are close enough to breastfeed they could also bite, furthering their race.
