Herbal Supplements & Other Meds

I've received quite a few emails asking about what herbal supplements the specialist has given us for Logan. So - here they are!

Mega Probiotic -ND (for GI upset - not specific to cancer or chemo)
Athritis Formula liquid (33% devils claw, 33% corydalis, 10% panax ginseng, 23% ashwaganda - again, not specific to cancer or chemo)
GI Formula powder (80% Huo Xiang Zheng Qi, 20% Bone Stasis)

The other medications Logan is currently given are:

Mertazapine - appetite stimulant
Cerenia - anti-nausea for chemo patients
Metronidazole - anti-diarrhea
Pepcid AC - stomach upset / acid reduction
Deramaxx - joint / hip / bone issues due to ostearthritis (not on this currently, though - had to take him off of it because we gave him Prednisone after the last round of chemo - can't mix pred and Deramaxx)
Prednisone - for GI upset due to chemo - was only on this with first round of chemo, not currently

Hope this helps!!
