rescue pack continued
I saw my Consultant on Thursday he said that sadly this is now the policy of all surgeries , but it’s not good for anyone with respiratory conditions. He has given me a new prescription for an antibiotic I’ve never had before:- Levoflixacin 14 days & a back up of Co-amoxiclav 14 days if I can’t tolerate

Switching OAB medication to solifenacin
Hi All, My son has just started solifenacin after being on oxytrol patches. On the patches he had become dry overnight and his incontinence had decreased to small daily leaks. Because he wasn't completely dry in the day our urologist wanted to change his medication. It is only day 5 of taking solifenacin

Itolizumab Shows Promise For Lupus Nephritis Patients in Early Trial Data
As a result, the kidneys become inflamed and their function impaired; in some cases, this can lead to
kidney
failure
. Treatment usually involves medications to reduce inflammation, including corticosteroids, which can come with significant side effects and are not always effective.

Covid Tests for Vulnerable People
Dear All, I am repeating on this Forum, a 'Post' I put on the Kidney Transplant forum, regarding Covid Test Availability. Essentially these Test ARE 'Still Available' to Vulnerable People. Solid Organ Transplant recipients, like myself, automatically 'qualify'- as might many 'others' on here. You can

Has anyone [else] on Besremi had issues with elevated serum potassium?
My last several chemistry labs have had elevated Potassium levels and my diet hadn't really changed except for adding Curcumin TID... Now my MPN MD has me on a low potassium diet, but honestly, my intake wasn't very high beforehand... COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL - Past Results Name Standard Range

kidney
problems and possibly
failure
in the long term. This has really scared her.
