Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......

But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:

Valsarten : side effects?
hello there, just to let you know that valsartan is not an ace inhibitor......
It works further down the raas system, so that is why there is less side effects than say ace inhibitors..
All drugs that lower your blood pressure are great if you have high blood pressure, as this can trigger other more serious conditions such as stroke, mi, and also diabetes....
so as long as your blood pressure is being kept in check it is a good thing.....
valsartan is also known as an ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKER.....and if the drug is working for you that is great.....

My son looks like a third world child with a disease
My poor little baby ( he's 9 ) He was put on this crappy antibiotic for reoccuring strep and throat infections. He was on his 8th day when he started developing what at first looked like heat rash but quickly grew to cover his whole little body with this nasty red bumpy rash that is everywhere on him even his face. The doctors have put him on 10 mg of loratadine, tagament ( the doc said it's also a histamine blocker) and 4 tabs of prednisone for 3 days and 2 tabs for three days . My poor little bunny. I even have him not flushing so I can make sure his stool looks ok and I know the frequency 'cause I'm so worried about severe cramping and diarreah. I just gave him his first dose an hour ago of all his meds so we will see. I def, don't care for this nasty med, I should have known when it smelled like rotten butt that it was just bad. I would not reccomend this unless all other options have been exhausted, I wanted his tonsils out but no lets just give an asmatic kid a severe allergic reaction. :evil:
