During a hospital stay, your regularly -taken medications may be changed. Before you leave, check with your doctor to determine what you are to take and what you are to stop taking. Often, drugs with different names are in the same therapeutic class and taking both is not advised. Before you take it, talk about it. Cancer treatment is getting very focused. In Florida, they are treating liver cancer with special radioactive spheres that are infused into the artery that supplies all blood to the liver. These little beads will deliver radiation directly to the tumors in the liver for 11 days. The treatment looks very promising. Nursing mothers have to be cautious when taking medications like antibiotics because infants may absorb some of the drug via the breat milk. There are times when an antibiotic is absolutely necessary and some are better at limiting the baby's exposure to the drug. Your doctor and pharmacist can check this for you. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
