The LD50 of Diphenhydramine in rats is 500mg/kg. For humans it is not known, so be careful! Lethal doses in humans are almost always far less than lethal doses in rats (allowing for body weight differences), so don't try to take the rat LD50 and apply it to yourself. Also, note that the LD50 is the dose at which 50% of the subjects will die. A lower dose will still kill a smaller proportion of the subjects - i.e. it may be that the LD10 (i.e. 10% mortality) for rats is just 100 mg/kg.

Antihistamines generally, and Diphenydramine Hcl specifically, act by antagonizing histamine at the site of the H1 histamine receptor. Antihistamines dry up the secretion of the nose, throat, and eyes. They relieve itch and will help you go to sleep. Dimenhydrinate depresses the middle-ear function, but the way in which it actually prevents nausea, vomiting, or dizziness is not known. However, these drugs are not just antihistamines. They have a significant amount of anticholinergic activity.

The LD50 (dose at which 50% of animals die) of DXM doesn't seem to be well known. For a variety of reasons, animal assays of the lethal dose of psychoactives aren't always accurate. Nor have I ever found a published LD50 for DXM. So instead, I've decided to go on the basis of the few deaths that have occurred from DXM use, keeping in mind the amount of DXM people regularly consume for recreational purposes.

Much controversy surrounds this question. As little as 20 mg (substantially less than a single line) injected intravenously can be lethal while between 500mg and 1.4 g nasally or orally is considered dangerous. Purity, mixing with other substances (especially heroin), environment, and the individual are all factors. It is not recommended to rub cocaine on any exposed tissues or the mucous membranes of the genitals.

Yes. The drugs manufactured now are greatly increasing the life expectancy of those living with HIV/AIDS, but there is still no cure.

Exposure of 100 roentgens causes radiation sickness while exposure to 400 roentgens causes radiation sickness and death in half of those exposed, and 100,000 rads causes almost immediate unconsciousness and death within an hour.

Some dinosaurs were very lethal, as they were hunting carnivores, like lions and tigers are today, but much larger!

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Do not stop taking the medication without talking to your doctor. Please refer to the Metoprolol Succinate Extended-release Tablets Product Insert Sheet for additional information.

We recommend that both humans and pets double the daily dose (e.g. take ½ oz per day) for the first two weeks. (½ oz is the same as 1 tablespoon). After the first two weeks you should take the normal dose, (¼ oz) everyday. You can take Flexicose anytime of the day and you do not need to spread out the dose for Flexicose to be effective. For pets the dosage is slightly different - see the below dosage table.

Since food substantially increases the bioavailability of erlotinib and may increase the risk of adverse events, patients should be instructed to take Tarceva at least one hour before or two hours after the ingestion of food. The degree that food increases the bioavailability of erlotinib may vary; therefore, Tarceva tablets should be taken on an empty stomach to help ensure that patients obtain consistent plasma levels of the drug.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered; do not take it if it is near the time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

While we recommend that you talk to your physician first, Gaviscon® Acid Breakthrough Formula is perfectly safe to take with your prescription heartburn medication.

We recommend that you begin at the suggested therapeutic dose of 2 capusles or 1 teaspoon of powder / day for a week or so before considering increasing your dose of Flora Balance.
