Symptoms generally include joint pain and stiffness. Other symptoms may include redness, warmth, swelling, and decreased range of motion of the affected joints.

A pink oblong pill with BP CAR on one side and 100 MG on the other side. Trying to identify it. ## I have read several posts asking about this same thing, but so far, no one has been able to find an identification for it.

Charlote Arthritis Mexican pain pill

My wife, age 84, had arthroscopic surgery on her knee 15 years ago with little benefit. Lately she has had the rooster shots with no benefit. A few days ago she was in agony and friend gave her "Charlote Arthritis" pills from Mexico. The relief was almost instantaneous. She takes two per day and is pain free. The list ingredients are: oak, white willow, magnesium, chamomile, and one item, about 7 letters, too blurred to read. ## Where or how can I get some. I have taken them for my Lupus symptoms and it is an all day relief of pain that nothing else has been able to provide. I cannot find them anymore since the person who used to get them is no longer available. ## El Centro Super Center, Nuevo Progresso, Tamp, MX Hurry before Trump screws up everything and closes the border. ##...

Is Meloxicam Gluten Free?

I have been taking meloxicam for 1 1/2 weeks and I am experiencing celiac symptoms. I would like to know if meloxicam is gluten free. ## Meloxicam is actually a generic medication, the name brand for it would be Mobic and, since it is a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies. Thus, I can't tell you anything about the inactive ingredients without more information from you, such as the markings on the tablet, or the name of the manufacturer. Can you please post back with this information? ## I would like to know if gluten is in my meloxicam. It's an oblong light yellow pill with a 15 stamped on it. I'm expericening floating, constipation, and stomach pains. ## Is taking muscle relaxers 500mg and meloxicams 7.5mg and buspirone 10mgs okay to take all in the m...

Meloxicam and Sumatriptan

Can I take these two medicines together? I normally take Sumatriptan for migraines. I fell on the ice and hurt my shoulder and the Orthopedic has me taken 1 Meloxicam a day. I have a bad migraine and need to know if I can take a Sumatriptan. ## While I haven't come across any drug interactions or contraindications suggesting that it's unsafe to take the two together, I think it would still be wise to consult your prescribing doctor just to be on the safe. That way they can cross-check for other determining factors as well based on your medical records. You can also read more about each medication in the links below: [1] Meloxicam [2] Sumatriptan Hope this helps!

Problems with Celebrex

I was forced to start taking the generic Celebrex about 4-6 months ago. I have taken Celebrex for many years! I've had a couple of U/A's come back with traces of blood in my urine and wondering if this could be related to the drug?! ## Hello Susan! How are you doing? According to FDA reports, Celebrex has been known to cause some gastro-intestinal bleeding as a side effect, though it's not very common. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, edema, leg cramps, and alopecia. Ref: Celebrex Information So yes, there is a chance it could be do to the medication, but only a doctor can do more checking to say for sure. Traces of blood in the urine could also be caused by conditions, such as urinary tract infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, and others. Are you o...

Seeking Safe Anti-Inflammatory Medication Suggestions Post-Knee Replacement

I have had a total knee replacement and I need a suitable anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, I can't take Celebrex because it is a sulfur drug, and Mobic makes me feel ill. Meloxicam makes me feel unwell too, and Xefo causes my heart to race. I am unsure of a safe anti-inflammatory medication to use, as I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my knee. Can you help with any suggestions? I have Vimovo, which contains Naproxen, but it has so many side effects that I am too scared to take it. ## Try Duexis. It's best for the tummy.
