Questions and Answers
my doctor put me on clidinium-chlordiazepoxide qua?, My doctor put me on this because i've been having a lot of pain and burning in my abdominal. I've been having burning in my urination. Is it safe for me to take this????
yes, it is. That's actually one of its main uses..... I know sometimes it is hard to trust a doctor, but I am a pharmaceutical student. No worries. =]
can i mix xanax and clidinium-chlordiazepoxide qua?,
It is possible to take the two products simultaneously but it should only be done under a doctor's supervision because Alprazolam (Xanax) causes drowsiness in some patients and this is compounded when taking Clidinium-Chlordiazepoxide at the same time. It is always advisable to consult your doctor about these things instead of throwing it out to the layworld because your doctor knows your medical history and each individual reacts differently to different conditions and medications.
