Herplex

User Ratings:
9.2	Effectiveness
0.1	Side Effects
6.8	Holistic Benefits

I saw it at Wal-mart and thought I would try it because prescription meds (acyclovair, Valtrex) really bother my stomach. I chewed 3 Herplex after a blister started in the corner of my mouth (those are the worst) and 3 more that evening and it was history the next day. I have used the bottle I had and can't find it anywhere in 2 states and online. This is the best product I have ever used on cold sores!!!! Can it still be purchased somewhere?

ProAir HFA

3.2	Holistic Benefits

I have suffered from asthma all my life and used to use Albuterol before it was reformulated. The proair did not work at all for me. It did not puff out of the countainer far enough to be effective. I now use Xopenex HFA and it worked much much better than Proair HFA. I was very unsatisfied with the Proair.

Yaz

User Ratings:
6.2	Effectiveness
5.3	Side Effects
6.1	Holistic Benefits

For the first year that I was taking Yaz it was great - regular and much lighter periods, zero cramps, zero PMS. It was really wonderful considering I used to have very heavy and irregular periods, extremely horrible cramps, and pretty bad PMS (irritability, mood changes, bloating, fatigue, appetite increase, etc.). Yaz made that all disappear. I swore by it, I really did. But recently, just within the past couple months, I have spotting ALL THE TIME (sometimes like a full on period in the m...

Metrocream

6.5	Side Effects
7.6	Holistic Benefits

Metronidazole Topical (i.e MetroCream®, MetroGel®, MetroGel®-Vaginal, MetroLotion®, Noritate®) is commonly used to treat rosacea, and in some instances vaginal infection. It is important to note that topical application of the medicine on affected parts only reduces and/or minimizes inflammation, redness, and/or sores, but does not cure the problem. Following gentle cleansing, a thin layer of this medication is applied on affected parts (usually twice a day or as rec... View full comment
