Acetaminophen 500 mg . . . . . . . . . . . Pain reliever

Pyrilamine maleate 15 mg . . . . . . . . . . . Diuretic

It should be fine. Only concern I would have is the diuretic in it. Diuretics are fine, I actually am on a prescribed one but you do need to make sure you up your fluid intake if you are taking any kind of diuretic.

Thanks! I always make sure to drink lots of water on any medication.

I am on a new birth control and it gives me cramps and PMS [which I didn't get before, haha, but then again I was never "regular" before birth control]

Anyway, thanks again for your input!

Shannon, Pepto Bismol is an NSAIDs. When you are looking at labels keep your eyes open for the word Salicylates. That is one indication that it is a type of NSAIDs.


Another name for Pepto Bismol is Bismuth Subsalicylate

Another indication that the drug may be an NSAIDs is to read the contraindications. If it makes some kind of comment about not taking it if you have ulcers or a bleeding problem then that should cause a little red flag to go up in your mind. More than likely that drug will be an NSAIDs.

For example this is the warning that goes along with Pepto Bismol
Quote:
Do NOT use Pepto-Bismol Suspension if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Pepto-Bismol Suspension
you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to aspirin or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (eg, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib)
you have bleeding problems (eg, hemophilia), active bleeding ulcer, black or bloody stools, or Von Willebrand disease
you are taking another salicylate medicine (eg, aspirin)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

MiladyB, I was wondering if you knew if we can do the nasal sprays, I have a cold and I'm ok with the achy body and feeling crappy but I hate a stuffy nose. I can't sleep and I have always used the Nasal 12 hour decongestant but I'm afraid to try it. Would you happen to know if it's ok to use.

Thank you,
Blay

Blay, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be a problem at all. Decongestents don't pose a problem for us post-op. So I would say it should be fine to use.
