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

Since using Agomelatine, I have experienced extreme nausea, headaches, stomach aches, hair loss and loose bowels, I am not sure whether to continue with this medication, I was told that there would hardly any if no side effects, but I have found this not to be true in my case.

Cymbalta certainly does the job. Have had very little side effects from it at all. I am taking it to control my panic attacks.

Oxycodone HCl is far and away the best drug available in the UK for chronic pain. The problem is the blatant lie on box and PIL that the duration of action is 12 hours. In my experience I begin to feel pain at around six and am in agony again by 6.5-7 hours after taking. My doctor refuses point blank to issue me recue medications which I have to obtain through other services than the NHS. Best are the short-acting but potent dipipanone with cyclizine tabs, dextromoramide tartrate (though my... View full comment
