Is anyone familiar with this prescription drug? Has anyone ever received or taken some thing called pen-vi-k from mexico. It comes in a with the name Sandoz on it and it says pen vi k 400,000 U on it and under says 250 mg. Then inside the box it is white pills with one side scored and nothing else. It is sealed in a silver and clear package where the pill needs to be pushed through the sliver to get the pill out. What is this does anyone know. My daughter said she got it from her friend for her cold. Help???????????????? Thanks, Anna

justbeingher replied: "It sounds like it is analogous to K-Cillin - a penicillin. I would look it up in a PDR and under no circumstances take it until you know what it is. If your daughter has a penicillin allergy, not good."

sjj571 replied: "Sandoz is a generic drug manufacturer and a subsidiary of Novartis. Interestingly they are the folks that brought us LSD. Penvik is a penicillin based drug sort of like Amoxicillin. Won't do anything for a cold...."

essbie replied: "look here: Pen V K is an oral form of penicillin which is an anti infective. It doesn't do anything for colds"

hotmama replied: "It's a penicillin. That won't do anything for a cold. You shouldn't take any prescription drugs unless they are prescribed to you by a doctor. It can be very dangerous."

I need help with a book I'm writing.? Hi Heres some of my book. Tell me what you think, and what I need. Running on the field, the Tritons were gaining on us. I had to concentrate, or I would lose us the game. I was different than the rest of my team, most of them had already run out of steam. Unlike them I was not breathing hard at all, and couldn’t tire so easily. I’ve never felt this great before though. I felt stronger, and had lots of more stamina in me. “Shoot!” Jack called from behind me, blocking a Triton player. I ran faster, avoiding the Triton’s players, while one came at me trying to stop me. WIth the ball at my feet, I stopped right in front of the goalie box. My eyes focused on my target, and then I kicked the ball so hard into the net, that it went right through. I looked back at the people around me, everyone’s eyes in disbelief. Then they started to cheer, and I saw my best friend Haven jumping up and down on the stands. Then my team came and gave we all high fived each other, “We won!” Jack shouted . “Alright, line up and shake each other’s hands.” The referee demanded. We all gathered and formed a straight line facing our opponents. “Great play.” we all said shaking the Triton’s hands. After the game, Jack and I went to the celebration party at Coney’s Island, where we ordered sundays and root beer floats. Jack was playing with his soda, drowning the ice-cream he had in his cup, almost making it overflow. “I still can’t believe we won. I mean the way you kicked that ball right past the goalie, and right through the net. It was so cool, and Will was jealous. ” Jack took a big slurp of the float. “Will?” I said asked curiously. What did I have to do with him? “Yeah, he said that there was no way that you could have outdone him. And when you won the game for us, he was pissed. He really wanted that shot. “So?” I said with no care. “So... just be careful, because he might be out to get you and all since you stole his spot light.” Jack looked down. “What are you? My mom?. ” I said jokingly, scooting my bowl away from me. “Just saying..” Jack trailed off. “I’ll be fine Jack, It was just one game. Im sure he’ll get over it.” I said getting out my phone from my pocket. It was Scarlet, Come home, its past your curfew. I sighed, shoving it back into my pocket. “Where are you going?” Jack asked. “Home. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” I said grabbing my gym bag. “Kay, I’ll save you a seat at lunch, so don’t be late again.” “I won’t.” I said running out the door. Mom, would be mad for sure. It’s already really late. Then, Sudden pain stabbed me in the back. I winced, falling over and scraping my knees. So painful, that I couldn’t even move as I lay there on the cold hard cement. I waited a while for the pain to drift, and after, I limped towards my house. We had just bought it a year ago, after we moved from Louisiana. I opened the white wood door, and steeped inside into a clean house seeing mom at the kitchen counter working on her report. “Im back.” I announced weakly. “Jack, do you know what time it is?” She said angrily. “Yes, I’m sorry. I said grabbing water from the refrigerator. “Oh my gosh, what happened to you?” She said franticly, looking at my scrapes. “Nothing, I just... tripped is all.” lie. I said trying not to worry Scarlet. “... Well, you should clean that up. And, get some sleep, you look like a bloody mess. Oh, and don’t forget to clean your room.” “Yeah, yeah, night mom.” I said heading up stairs to the only messy room in the house, mine. Clothes, books, and video games were scattered everywhere. I never cared for neatness. It took to much time, and effort. Before I went to sleep, I glanced at the mirror. Scarlet was right, I did look like a bloody mess, more maybe. But, I had no clue what that pain was back there. I don’t think its normal to get near death pain when your 16 though. Still, maybe something was wrong with me... The next morning up to the sun shining in my eyes. It was really early, even for school. I tiredly got up, and threw on some jeans, and a long sleeved shirt. I checked my appearance in the mirror, and discovered that the injuries from yesterday disappeared. Like nothing ever happened, It was weird. I shrugged, an headed down stairs where I saw mom trying to make breakfast. She shoved the bowl to me, and I clenched my nose swallowing the oh so nasty oatmeal. “Have you been taking your medication?” Scarlet said looking up at me. “... yeah.” Lie. I forgot to take it before the game yesterday. “You need to be more responsible Jagger.” She said sighing, seeing right through me. Scarlet handed me the orange bottle of my meds. “I know.” I said chugging down the orange juice, and swallowing the pill. We finished breakfast, and drove to school in the silver Range Rover. I pushed open the door, and jumped out onto the pavement. “Wait, Jagger.” She said, as I stopped in my tracks. “I won’t be Thanks Ataraxia YOU HELPED!!! THE REST OF YOU ARE SOOO MEAN!!!

ichthusfish replied: "Jack? Soccer tryouts? Medication? It sounds a lot like the book Warrior Heir (http://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Heir-Cinda-Williams-Chima/dp/0786839171/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250137195&sr=8-1) Sorry... EDIT: I'm sorry if that came across as mean. It wasn't meant to be... Your story is pretty well written. I just wanted to point out some plot similarities that you might want to change."

Chris "The Action Man" replied: "Ok not to be a jerk but I didn't read past the first line...I type cheerfulLY I know you will respond angriLY and I hope you don't start to cry FeverishLY... You get my point here. Not every line of dialogue needs to end in LY"

JesseRomanwuzhere replied: "I feel like it is hard to read something like this when, one, I have no clue what it is about, and two, is this the beginning or somewhere in the middle? Just browsing through it, however, I did notice that every time you have "she said" or "he said" you always have to add something like: "Yes," she said, grabbing her bag. Or "I don't know," she said frantically, trying to remain calm. You can use the word "said" without adding to it all the time.It gets annoying. Similes are the worst though! Read City of Bones, it is chalk full of them lol. (Ex: His eyes were blue like the afternoon sky above us.) What I have always noticed now is that everyone who is putting their "book" samples on Yahoo Answers are always having the narrator speak in first person (I said) like how Twilight was written. There is never a third person narrator (he said/she said, like, for example, Harry Potter). Hmm..."

Ataraxia replied: "As someone who enjoys reading, I can tell you that what you have written did keep my attention for the most part, and sparked an interest in your main character. I would try to rewrite the first paragraph, something about it is not flowing as well as the rest, maybe be more descriptive on how Jagger is feeling or thinking while the game is in progress. Instead of "then my team came and we all high fived each other" maybe something like: "Then, I just stood there while the roaring cries of the crowd engulfed me, and my team rushed towards me. In the frenzy of the excitement and victory high fives all around, a strange feeling came over me as I glanced back at the net." Hope this was useful to you. Good Luck."

Any opinions on this selection? Does this sound even remotely interesting? Steven closed the door to his refrigerator. He was out of meat and his water supplies were running dangerously low. A trip to the supermarket was needed. However, this wasn't as simple as you might think. Just leaving the house was more dangerous than jumping off of the Empire State Building. Sighing, Steven walked into his bedroom and checked the time on the clock next to his bed. 5:45. They would be coming soon. Steven moved over to his closet and opened it up. Inside was a rack with 2 12-gauge shotguns, 2 .357 Magnums, a .30-.06, a composite hunting bow and quiver, and an M4. Steven selected the M4 and both of the .357s, pausing only to grab a handful of reloads for each. He slung the M4 across his back and holstered the .357s on his thighs. He opened the cabinet underneath the rack and pulled out 2 military-issue combat knives, which he sheathed on the side of his boots. He stepped out of the closet, shut it, and locked it. He walked to and knelt at his bed, as if praying, before standing up with a small box in his hands. He removed the top and took out a golden chain with a small gold and silver cross on it. He put on the chain, closed the box, and tossed it onto his bed. He picked up his thick leather jacket and put it over his shoulder. He then walked into the bathroom, checked his appearance in the mirror, opened his medicine cabinet, removed a nondescript pill bottle, and popped a few pills into his mouth. He crunched them up before swallowing them and returning the bottle to it's place. Popping his neck, he left his bedroom and headed towards the staircase.

Julie V replied: "good so far, what happens next?"

Kitty §ays MEW replied: "Well, the idea is interesting, and you had my attention until the words Steven and he continuously popped up. Then my attention was diverted from the story. You need to edit and find other ways to express the actions going on. Right now, it sounds very stilted and repetitive. Keep working on it though! I'd like to see what you come up with! Have fun!"

Looking to open an occult shop in Tucson around January. What would be good to see there? I want to know what items you use in your practice. Also, please list any category or title you feel fits you (example: neo-pagan which includes wicca, pagan, satanist, etc). I ask this question because we all have a different perspective on the world and the way such things should be conducted. I know my way and my favored items, but there maybe something that I don't use that you would like to see. Also, we are all from different cultures and I tend to have somewhat of a western perspective, I don't wish to exclude any because of my own faults. I'm not a fan of doing things half-assed. The idea of having pewter castings and plastic beads anywhere in my store just annoys me. I am not opening a shop for pretty souvenirs. I also believe that magic is a very personal thing and should be tailored to fit an individual by an individual rather than deciding that one symbol is the only good one. I'd like to see people from all walks of life enjoy the merchandise, not just a particular crowd. Some items that I already plan on stocking: A large variety of herbs, I believe my order is somewhere over 100 to start with. Pill casings, ointment bases, and witch hazel Variety of bottles and jars for ointments, medicines, and other uses Incenses Essential Oils Crystal bowels, plates, and goblets (like malachite, quartz, jasper, and etc.) A few wooden bowels Petrified wood A medium to large assortment of gems and minerals (including some of the less mainstream ones like kyanite, celestite, and circle stone) Beeswax sheets (in many colors) Beeswax candles (in many colors) Candles from animal fats (in many colors) Parchment paper and homemade paper India ink and maybe supplies for making your own inks Leather Leather bound books (both plain and crystal encrusted) Just a few various sized daggers (wood, horn, or silver handled, some crystal encrusted) Wood boxes of various woods with an assortment of different metal closures Carving Tools Leather working tools One or two seals (wax stamps) An assortment of jewelry (all silver, gold, and possibly a few other semi-precious metals) There will also be some small artifacts like beads and figurines from different parts of the world. I'd also like to include a small book section. These would be pretty much all trade related books and reference books. I do not wish to include anything like "the basics of wicca" or "book of shadows for beginners". I wish rather to focus on the crafting side of working with your own goods as well as the reference section on anatomy, gems and minerals, and herbs. I might add some books on older cultures if I find some good ones. As a final note: It may not happen in the first few months, but there will be a back room for invitation only that will store older and stronger items. Expect these things to be of a higher quality and of a higher price.

All three said boxes when opened contained the same pill contents in terms of color,the way it was positioned inside... Help! I dont know w/c is the real one...

Im 14,What do you think of my story,How can I improve it? She watched how the branches hung like whispers against the night sky as her feet padded noisely against the concrete as she walked The street lights illuminated her casted shadow across the riverbank as she hung her head and concentrated on the pattern on her shoes. This is bad, she thought. She grasped the plastic bag tightly and inhaled deeply. She sat down on the side of bridge and traced the concrete with her fingers,listening to the night owls whisper their calls. Maybe, I could stop. Maybe, I could. She squinted into the lit darkness and saw two beautiful swans float across the water in sync,the moonlight reflecting of the dephs of the water. Maybe.She sighed, her whole body shaking from the cold. She took the boxes of paracetomal out of the bag and lined each box up infront of her in a perfect line. She smiled as she secretly congratulated herself on buying so many,especially as she was underage.She removed each set of tablets from its carboard packaging and put the tablets in her lap. She tore one box up carefully at the seams and slowly began to fold it in different angles.Several moments later,her hands opened to show an orgami of a paper swan. She held it up to the light to admire her work. Moments later, another origami swan was made out of the cardboard packaging. An hour later, a family of origami swans sat peaceful next to her across the bridge,gazing out at the water with her. The darkness had set over her now,the moonlight was as bright as ever, contrasting with the streetlight.The dark sky was so beautiful,its darkness overthrew her. The coldness seemed surreal,despite her thick jeans and top. Her attention returned to the pills in her lap. Thoughts ran through her head. She had made her decision. She put the paracetamol in her backpocket. She took her swans and set them down carefully in the water and watched as they floated off into the distance. 'I can make something ugly,beautiful' she whispered. She took the paracetamol from her back pocket and threw a pack into the river,the silver packaging being swallowed by the dephs. She smiled. - Why didnt she throw all of them, I hear you ask? Because recovery doesnt happen like a fairytale Its one step at a time, So even if you just throw one pill away, or one tool which you use to hurt yourself, its a fantastic start. Sometimes you lapse and it doesnt matter, because its just a lapse and not a relapse.

Rose replied: "Rule no. 1 - if you have to explain the story, then you've failed to get across the message and you need to rewrite until the story says ALL of your explanation. The best stories are the ones that leave you thinking, OR bathed in emotion - the ones you remember. I think you've got the start of something really good here. You've got a few spelling mistakes in there, a couple of grammar errors - try running your work through a spellchecker. Her one line of dialogue is a little corny, IMO. This might be something she'd THINK but I doubt anyone but the most contrived or naive of characters would SAY something like that out loud. Is there another way for her to say this, without using those exact words? Perhaps something more colloquial. Don't forget, your character doesn't have to say EVERYTHING she means. That's the wonder of words. You have a lovely method of description, incidentally. Not too overstated and a pleasure to read, apart from those grammar mistakes! One more thing...the origami swans are a good idea and they do sort of work, but I'd suggest popping in a bit more description of the process of making the swan, or maybe where she learned it - because it seems somewhat contrived as it is at the moment. It sends up warning flags...it's TOO perfect. Have you considered posting these snippets on a writing forum or to a group? :P Might get more and better critiques. I am but a lonely would-be writer, and there are plenty of experienced authors out there who're willing to volunteer their time on forums :)"

Callum G replied: "not bad, you spelled depths wrong tho lol"

Lisa G replied: "firstly and most importantly, well done!!, you are 14 and have been able to creat such a detailed an emotional piece of work. I totally felt whilst ready the story how the lady was feeling. You didnt even have to add the extra commets to explain yourself, let the readers mind think and explore these open gaps that you have left. Your story was totally unique and you should be proud! I am a training to be a counsellor right now and so much in your story has encouraged me to stay focus and help woman, just like the woman in your story.....well done, be proud x"
