What Medication Do You Take Most Often? 3
I use Motrin for everything. I use it for menstural cramps, muscle aches and pains, headaches and generally feeling lousy. It lasts for about 4-5 hours for menstrual cramps, takes away most headaches, and lasts about 6 hours for muscle pains (2-3 pill dosage). I have used Advil in the past and I KNOW it is the same, but maybe it is all in my head, but I think Motrin works best. My gyno even told me to take MOTRIN specifically for my cramps. And it helps as long as I don’t miss a dose. It is like clockwork with that pain.

Sudafedrine is the medication I use most often. It is fantastic because it alleves most symptoms related to the common cold. Sudafed clears congestion, reduces fatigue, and alleviates headaches. The drug has maximal effect for about 4-6 hours. I have never tried another decongestant in the past. Sudafed is great if you have to work with a cold. It takes your mind of your illness and gives you a little energy to keep going. While there are risks to using sudafed, when used as directed for short periods of time it is a fantastic medication. You should talk to your doctor before using sudafed as there are rare complications which can affect your heart.

The medication I take most frequently is lisinopril, to lower blood pressure. I was amazed to develop this condition because for 30 years my blood pressure was low whenever it was checked and doctors seemed to be worried about that. The first medicine my doctor prescribed was way too expensive. I did not have prescription coverage at the time, so I researched the costs, discovered lisinopril was the cheapest AND available in Canada (my salvation for a long time). (more…)

The medicine that I use daily for two times a day is Glucophage (550) also known as Metformin. The reason I use it is not because I am diabetic but because I suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Metformin is proving to be the best medicine in my case to control the Syndromes side effects like late or menstrual cycle, facial hair and weight gain. After years of struggling with these side effects I have finally become comfortable with the use of Glucophage, since the condition is life long I am happy that I have finally found something that I can rely on and works. PCOS is also a common cause of infertility in woman; this medicine helps in ovulation.
