Anti-Inflammatory Overview

Anti-inflammatory or antiphlogistic is the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation or swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs, also called anti-inflammatories, make up about half of analgesics. These drugs remedy pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids, which affect the central nervous system to block pain signaling to the brain.

What does "take 3 tablets daily" mean

What does it mean to take three tablets daily? Do I take three at once or at three separate times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)? ## If all it says is to take "3 tablets daily" you should take them all at once, unless otherwise noted. Especially prednisone. Otherwise it would say "take 1 tablet 3 times a day (tid)", or "1 tablet up to 3 tablets daily as needed (prn)". ## Hi Sharlene, It depends if the more detailed instructions say "3 tablets once per day" or "1 tablet 3 times per day". If they indicate something more like one tablet at a time (3 times per day), this generally indicates 1 tablet every 8 hours (unless otherwise noted). So I think breakfast, lunch and dinner would be a good way to spread this out. Since 8 hours goes into 24 hou...

Prednisone and Cyclobenzaprine

I have arthritis in my hips and pulled a back muscle at work. Walking is hard to do. Can I take Prednisone and Cyclobenzaprine together? ## You can, as long as your doctor has told you to take them both. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness, and weight changes. Are you on any other medications? What are the dosages and how long will you be taking them? ## Can I take 4mg Prednisone with 10mg of Cyclobenzaprine at night? I fell down steps and hurt my back. ## I took Prednisone at about 6am today and took Cyclobenzaprine at 10pm. Hopefully there's not a problem with the timeframe between those two doses, right?

Sertal Compuesto in USA

Does anyone have information on the availability of Sertal Compeusto (pink tablet) in the USA?

Rumoquin N F Where Can I Buy It

I just found Rumoquin NF at Mexipharmacy. They don't seem to take credit cards, but offer other ways to buy. I've been taking Arthrotec 75 for about 14 years for arthritis all over my body. My pain seems to respond favorably to diclofenac and Arthrotec 75 contains misprostol as well, a stomach protectant. However, I ran out when last in Mexico and was sold Rumoquin NF at a farmacia. The diclofenac worked its wonders, but the additional ingredients, dexamethasone and methocarbamol, seem to potentiate the relief. Rumoquin NF is also orders of magnitude cheaper and I generally need take only one per day. Win/win. ## i would like to order some of the rumoquin how much is it? im from sacramento, ca ## Stacey, try mexipharmacy. Rumoquin NF is not easy to find, but seems to be sold pri...

prednisone, 13 mg, tapering

Hi everybody, I accidently switched my 1 mg tablets with 5 mg. As a result I'been taken 13 mg of prednisone instead of 5 mg. I'been tapering prednisone 1 mg in two weeks prior to this. What do I do now? Switch back to 5 mg a day, or taper off 13 mg gradually? Thanks ## If you've been taking it for less than 21 days, there night not be a need to taper, if it's been longer than that, I would suggest speaking to your doctor for an appropriate taper schedule, in light of your dosing error. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Prednisone as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, nervousness, and insomnia. Ref: Prednisone Information Are you on any other medications?

Reumapirin pills

Hi. I was wondering about the medication (the one named in the subject) because my boy friend told me that it's something that he used to use for pain when he was younger living in Honduras. So I would like to know what it is, what it used for, and its side effects are. I would also like to know if its sold here in the U.S.? ## I can't find anything under this name, or anything similar. It can be hard to find details on foreign medications, especially if they are older. Does he know anything else about it? ## Don't know if I am too late on this one however....Reumapirin 50mg Diclofenaco Potasico - (Diclofenac potassium) Rx contains the potassium salt of Diclofenac, a compound not steroid with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.

took too many prednisone pills

I have a rx for Prednisone 20mg to take e 1 tablet daily with a quantity of 5 pills. I took 3 tablets in a 24 hour period, leaving me 2 pills to take. This is to get me ready for cancer surgery on my mouth to make sure my lungs are clear. What should I do? Do I take 1 pill for the next 2 days? or skip some days and try and follow the 5-day regiment? I feel like a fool. Thank you for your help. ## Jody, please check with your prescribing doctor, as they may need to prescribe a couple more pills for you to take, before your surgery, so you get the full five days of dosing. Prednisone may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, acne, weight changes, insomnia, and mood changes. Ref: Prednisone Information Are you on any other medications?
