Can RU-468 be obtained from a pharmacy?

If someone was on diuretics and wants to know why they feel faint each time they get up what is the answer?

If he wants to stop taking the medicine because he felt better before he started the drug how can I as a doctor respond?

RU-486, the abortion pill, CANNOT be obtained from a pharmacy. It is ONLY administered in specialized abortion clinics and is meant only to be taken by mouth. Several patients have died from vaginal administration.

Feeling faint is a very common side effect of diuretics. The loss of excess water and a lowering in blood pressure are responsible for this. The phenomenon is much like nitroglycerin & dizziness.

If you are referring to antibiotic therapy, it is VERY important that patients finish therapy. This is because the body's immune system requires the finishing of therapy in order to fully beat the ailment. "Feeling better" does not always mean the bug is gone. Stopping therapy prematurely can result in a rebound infection and a new antibiotic will have to be prescribed because the infection will have mutated and become resistant to the first therapy. Duplicate antibiotic therapies can be brutal on the body's normal flora.

RU-468 can be obtained with a prescription at a pharmacy which stocks it.

Orthostatic hypotension can occur when you are on diuretics. Your blood volume can't keep up when you move upright.
Hypertension is called the silent killer. You don't feel any bad symptoms until it is too late. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to kidney disease, heart disease, blindness, etc. If increased urination is an issue, recommend to take the diuretic in the morning at wake up.
