Re: Mucinex - 2 years ago
Thanks Gloaming for the information. I never thought of it that way. I have never bothered taking my heart rate reading while exercising or walking briskly/jogging as every year I do so well on my stress echo tests. I walk a greyhound at a very fast pace twice a day without fail, rain or shine. The is my 5th greyhound and can't remember ever living without one.

Re: Mucinex - 2 years ago
Thank you Carey and Jim! Yes it is the only ingredient but it does have inactive ingredients which look questionable such as carbomer homopolymor Type B, FD&C Blue No. 1, hypromellose USP, magnesium stearate, NF, microcrystilline cellulose, NF, and sodium starch glycolate, NF. I am so sensitive to any meds.by greyhoundgal - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Colonoscopy Prep - 4 years ago
I just found the old thread on this subject from 2012 and Jackie said at that time that she would not use any other prep other than Colyte and GoLightly. I think 10 years later they still exist according to online search. She stated that they are potassium sparing preps.by greyhoundgal - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Colonoscopy Prep - 4 years ago
I am contemplating getting my first colonoscopy. I remember a thread sometime ago regarding the best preps to take but I can not locate it now. There was a different liquid that could be used other than the gatorade/miralax. There is apparently several choices as to preps. There are pills or liquid. What would the best prep be for someone that has a history of afib? Has anyone in this forum tby greyhoundgal - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
