Answer by Kyle Jones
stop taking them and ask your Dr about it..

Answer by Jody
All medication has side effects, but antronex is not a prescribed medication (not in America anyway). It is sold as a food supplement or “alternative treatment”. It comes from ground up livers of cows and/or buffalo, kudus, and oxen. It is also sold as Allerplex.

I couldn’t find any evaluation that included side affects. There’s very little info out there about it. People are using it for dogs

Antronex is a bovine (cattle) liver fat extract developed in the 1920’s by Japanese researchers. It supposedly contains an antihistamine (yakriton) and also contains calcium.

Stay in School Program

Since the 2003-2004 school year, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, along with numerous governmental and non-profit partners, has administered a truancy prevention program called “the Stay in School Program”.

The Stay in School Program emphasizes early intervention to attain its goals: to increase student attendance in Harris County schools, to reduce the number of students dropping out of high school, to reduce juvenile crime, and to identify students and parents in need of social services related to anti-social and criminal behavior.
