By all means! Appropriate regular exercise is a healthy activity for people of all ages and recent research suggests exercise can improve brain functioning in older adults. We do not know if exercise will slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, but it may help prevent the onset of AD. Medical conditions may determine the kinds and extent of exercise that are appropriate for you.

Cholinesterase inhibitors slow the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter involved in thinking and memory. Alzheimer's disease causes several brain abnormalities. One of them is a progressive decrease in the acetylcholine neurotransmitter (brain messenger) system functioning. It's as though an engine — in this case the brain - is being starved of fuel and not firing all cylinders. Cholinesterase inhibitors increase acetylcholine and permit more neurotransmission.

Many of our customers have reported great success using Flexcin along with prescription medications. Flexcin is safe to take in conjunction with other supplements and medications.

Possibly. More than 150 medications interact harmfully with alcohol. These interactions may result in increased risk of illness, injury, and even death. Alcohol's effects are heightened by medicines that depress the central nervous system, such as sleeping pills, antihistamines, antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and some painkillers. In addition, medicines for certain disorders, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, can have harmful interactions with alcohol.

There are no known interactions with other drugs, and we are not aware of any adverse interactions. We would, however, advise you to check with your physician or pharmacist if you are concerned about any possible interactions.

Mixing medications, although rare, with anything can cause adverse reactions. Although our products are all natural herbal products, if you are taking any medication, prescription or over the counter, or are being treated for any medical condition please consult with a physician before taking our products or any supplements.

The only medications that we recommend that you do not take during treatment are over-the-counter medications which may thin your blood, such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen (also called Motrin or Advil). Some prescription medications also have these qualities. Your Phlebologist will review all of your medications at the time of your diagnostic studies and will advise you at that time.

This is a very common complaint especially when taking products with codeine or other narcotics for the first time. As an initial approach, we ask that you try taking your medication with some ginger ale or crackers. If this does not work, trying halving the dose and see if your symptoms get better. Usually, your symptoms will improve after a few doses. If, after these maneuvers, you are still experiencing nausea, stop all prescription medications and call our office for direction.

Before taking SEREDYN, talk your doctor if you are taking muscle relaxants, other sleep or anxiety medicines, pain medicines, seizure medicines, or other medicines that cause drowsiness. SEREDYN may increase the sedative effects of these drugs. Do not take SEREDYN if you are currently taking an MAOI. Consult your doctor before taking SEREDYN if you have a serious or potentially fatal medical condition.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) medications can slow the progression of AD and sometimes are associated with actual improvement in thinking, memory and behaviors. However, some Alzheimer's disease sufferers do not benefit from or may not tolerate cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine. In other patients, the benefit may be slight or only recognized when discontinuation of an effective medication leads to more rapid progression of the underlying AD.

When cholinesterase inhibitors work in Alzheimer's disease, improvement is often gradual and subtle. Ideally, improvement in memory, thinking and behaviors would be rapidly and readily apparent. More often, however, benefit is measured by stabilization of these functions and a subsequent slowing of their loss. If deterioration is obvious despite use of an appropriate medication, a difficult decision must be made. It is possible that deterioration will accelerate after stopping the medication.

When taken by mouth, cholinesterase inhibitors are absorbed into the blood stream and carried to all body tissues, including the brain. Cholinesterase inhibitors are gradually eliminated from the body after being broken down (metabolized) by the liver and kidneys. Since the liver is the main organ of medication metabolism, diseases or medications affecting the liver may change medication metabolism but rarely necessitate adjustment of dose.

Elderly individuals often have medical problems and this is true for most patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Commonly, other medications are being taken and some medication combinations may be dangerous. It is best to ask your doctor for a specific recommendation. Most medications can be taken safely with AD medications. Some, however, may interact with AD medicines in such a way as to cause serious side effects.

As yet, there is no cure for PD. Anti PD drugs all have the ability to improve the motor manifestations of PD like bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. Thereby, they improve the activities of daily living (ADL) of patients enabling them to lead near normal lives.

Actually, it appears to be just the opposite. Although an increased risk of drug abuse and cigarette smoking is associated with childhood ADHD, this risk appears mostly due to the ADHD condition itself, rather than its treatment. In a study jointly funded by the NIMH and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, boys with ADHD who were treated with stimulants were significantly less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol when they got older.
