Can I take pain killers before a blood test?

You can take what ever pain-killers you'd like, barring any legality issues. Tylenol, NSAIDs (motrin, naproxen), or any prescription medications you might have.

 They won't harm any results from the normal physician requested blood tests. When you aren't supposed to eat, the test is usually a total cholesterol panel, and medications (barring very very few rare ones) won't effect those levels.

Are there hormones in Fosomax or Boniva?

Fosomax does not have hormones. It has bisphospshonate. Boniva has
Calcitonin, or Miacalcin

 Calcitonin or miacalcin, is a hormone that helps your body use calcium. It also seems to reduce bone loss and prevent spine fractures. It is taken as a nasal spray so it is easy to use. It has almost no side effects, but is considered less effective than HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or Fosamax.

 The drug, alendronate sold under the brand name Fosamax, can prevent and treat osteoporosis . Both major female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, can be given at any age to strengthen bones with the combination far more effective than just estrogen . Adding bisphopshonate pills, such as alendronate and pamindronate, and a hormone nasal spray called calcitonin, strengthen bones even more . Exciting new research takes advantage of the observation that male hormones strengthen bones more than female hormones do. A readily available male-female hormone combination pill called Estratest strengthens bones in women. So does an anabolic male hormone called nandrolone . Diuretics also strengthen bones so they can be used to treat women who have both high blood pressure and osteoporosis

Can I buy Premarin Tablets with out Doctor's prescription?

No unfortunately you can get these only on Prescription it is classified as a POM medicine which means it is Prescription only medication. You would most probably get it somewhere on a black market or something but what you will actually be taking is not predictable...and can actually harm your health even. Premarin is licensed and the product was severely tested to see under which conditions it is stable, suitable...etc...Go get your doc to prescribe it ot you.

Should novolog be refrigerant after opening?

You should keep the extra in a fridge, but the one that you are using can be kept on you and still be just as effective for up to 28 days I think it is. Just don't expose it to high temperatures (above 84 degrees F I believe it is). So don't leave it in your car in summertime!
