I would call the drugstore because they will be able to tell you if the medicine has mutated or something before you take it.

If you go to www.wedmd.com you can type in your perscription medication and it will tell you what it reacts to. It is a useful tool. I used to use it all the time when my father was alive. He was on 19 different medications for his heart, kidneys, gout, and allergies. \n\nFurthermore if in doubt check with a pharmacist and/or doctor. \n\n*Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and all information given should be noted as such.

I would say that you should ask a doctor or find something that says that it is ok for you on the lable rather than trusting any medicine that somebody on here tells you.  But i guess you could ask a doctor or check the bottle of any suggestions you get.

It depends on the substance of the supplements!

Drugs are chemicals that disrupt the natural chemistry of your body.  It makes no difference whether prescribed by a doctor or purchased off the street.  One should only take those that are absolutely needed.\nWith street drug, you have no assurance about quality control.  With drugs from a pharmacy, often unlisted side effects can be deadly.  For example, there is a current case against Eli Lily for marketing a drug which apparently turned thousands of people into diabetics.

You are what you eat.\n\nIt's related to drugs/chemicals/subtances you intake. =P\n\nFood is medicine, medicine is food.

Look in the PDR book (the Physcian's Desk Reference).  It describes all pills by color, shape and marking.\n\nBut an easier way would be to take the pills to the drugstore.  Ask the druggist, they can help you to identify it.

Read the label on the drug.  It's not just about the drug but also about your body mass and the state of your health.

Answer depends on: 1.What is the reason for the urine testing? 2.What medication you are taking? 3.What was the appointment for?

im a medical assistant at a drug testing facility. we have to tell people that the test in inconclusive or "non-negative" because we cant tell you that its positive. more than likely it will be if they sent it to the lab though. some medications, however, do show up (pain med, etc.). if it were diluted (too much water) it would have showed negative on a quick screen. (those only show neg or positive). e-mail me if you want to.

The safe amount to take is the amount you were prescribed.  Your doctor presumably knows your symptoms, body size, etc.
