Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Please don't buy it!! It might not be the REAL thing! I saw a news piece on TV last week about how meds on the internet and in other countries were made...they make them look just like the real thing but they pour paint and all sorts of horrible stuff in them. When I was in Mexico a few years ago, I bought some face cream which I had been using 10 years without problems. This face cream from Mexico made my face peel and caused all sorts of issues. Though I was warned to not but drugs there, I did not think any harm would come from a cream. It was a prescription cream, expensive here but cheap there. I was warned by friends in Texas to NOT purchase and meds over in another country due to the products not being the same. You might end up with worse problems than mold..stay away from that stuff! It looks like the real thing but more than likely it is not and might be harmful.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Is the package sealed and from a pharmaceutical company you recognise? Merck or other pill book should be able to tell you how the capsule and tablet is marked if from original pharmaceutical. If it's a generic version, no telling. Some of this is scare tactics so you don't buy it anywhere but get from your doctor but there is also some junk out there. I would buy it if from the original manufacturer and each tablet has the shape, color and marks according to pill book. Once pharmacy I go to misfilled my prescription and since I was familiar with how pill looks, I could tell it wasn't the right medicine and returned it before I took any. Original manufactured medicine has well documented shape, color and markings. > > Hi all!! > > I have a couple of questions for anyone that would like to answer. > > 1.

You should only take an antifungal if you have colonization and you've identified which form of mold has colonized AND you're sure Diflucan will kill it. It may take a different antifungal to kill the colony depending on the type of mold you have inside you. Or, you're taking it because you know you have candida overgrowth. You should do it under a doctor's treatment and have a liver function test before starting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Barb, I wish I could remember the news show I was watching regarding these drugs. They had it down to look like the real thing, even down to the packaging and stamps on the pills. These drugs are marketed mostly on the internet but can be found without a prescription in other countries! You would not believe the horrible stuff they put into those drugs to make them look like thing the real thing! Most only had small traces of the real drug. I posted the other day about my cream I bought in Mexico. I bought the prescription kind here in teh US all of the time and never had a problem. It was 65.00 here. In Mexico I found what I thought was teh same thing for 12.00...it looked the same and I bought it... it tore my skin up really really bad. > > > > Hi all!! > > > > I have a couple of questions for anyone that would like to answer. > > > > 1.
