[edit] If

If you are traveling into Asia or South East Asia or in to area where there are poor hygiene practices, then I suggest that you carry a small supply of Lomotil. After 48 hours of unsuccessful self treatment, seek medical advice. 58.178.103.189 08:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parastesis??

The term "parastesis" is not defined anywhere in Wikipedia, as far as I can tell. Not only that, but there are only 42 hits in Google for that word, and none of them seem to be high-quality sources. The word does not appear in Cancerweb's online medical dictionary and Medline's medical dictionary redirects to "paresthesia".

Google gives 148 hits for "parestesis", almost all of which are Spanish-language pages. In those pages it appears to my untrained eye to be the equivalent of "paresthesia".

Unless anyone objects soon, I'm going to edit this to change it to "paresthesia".

[edit] Moving page

Normally, drug-related pages use the generic name instead of the brand name. Is there any reason why this wasn't done in this case? WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
