Anti-Inflammatory Forums (Page 34)

I was recently taken off pain management after a year-and-a-half. According to my doctor I tested positive for my nude traces of benzodiazepine in my blood work. I have never heard of this before nor was I ever prescribed it. What I was prescribed was Naproxen every month which I later discovered will show up as a false positive for a benzo. I'm 50 years old, was an athlete, have had 18 surgeries. My Pain Scale morning noon and night seems to be a constant 8 and to the point where I feel like I'm actually losing my mind. This pain is mentally deteriorating and physical actually so as I sit here tonight and type this I'm asking for help from anyone in the Spokane Washington area that knows the clinic for pain management that actually trust their patients! Everyday becomes har...

i want to know... that what r the side effect or complications could have been possible if zerodol sp is taken during preganancy? ## Zerodol SP contains the active ingredients Aceclofenac + Serratiopeptidase + Paracetamol. Looking at the possible side effects of each active ingredient appears to be the best way to determine Zerodol's side effects during pregnancy (as I was unable to find any other related info on Zerodol itself): The precautionary guidelines for Aceclofenac states that it must not be used during pregnancy. The warning label for Serratiopeptidase states that no well controlled studies are available regarding the use of Serratiopeptidase in pregnancy and lactation. Abstain the use of SP in such cases. For side effect information on Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) during p...

On suboxone and take naproxen for pain and have 2 drug tests showing positive for opiates. Dr said naproxen won't cause a positive for opiates. The suboxone shows positive for buprenorphine and I haven't taken any other opiates. Previous drug screens when I was taking naproxen showed negative for opiates. ## My tcup UA indicated a positive result for opiates, naproxen, gabapentin and loratadine! I've never done opiates in my life of any kind.

Hello all, I am here to share my story and help raise awareness of some of the side effects that can occur, even on lower doses of Prednisone. Physicians are to quick to hand out these powerful drugs and in most cases leave their patients in the dark, regarding what can occur, both mentally and physically. I have made it my mission in life to spread the word. Here is my story. I suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease and my GI wanted me to try taking a lower dose of Prednisone, 10mg daily, until we could get the mild flare I had been having under control. I had never had steroids before and did not question him. It was his intention to have me take them long term to see if it could keep my disease in remission since no other medication had worked. I am thankful, however, that he started...

this small white pill is cut in half with a line on one side;the other side has the numbers 54 0ver 612 ## Hello, Anna! How are you? This tablet contains 5mgs of Prednisone, which is a steroid class medications that's used to treat various medical conditions, such as allergic reactions, swelling and immune disorders. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain, acne and fluid retention. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Don't worry much about a change in the way your pills look when they come from pharmacy. It is because the pharmacy obtained the pills from a different pharmaceutical company for a less expensive price. It happens all the time. It's ok to look into it but I would not obsess over it. Talk to the pharmacist where you picked up the...

I have acne on the back of my neck. My age is 71 years. I have tried antibiotics with no success. I am desperate. Info I got says it is incurable. Please help. ## Hello, Leon! How are you? Actually, since this cream contains a steroid, it can cause acne as a side effect, so it isn't likely to help, according to the NIH. Acne is always curable, so to speak, depending on the underlying cause. If you deal with whatever is causing it, the acne will go away. Are you on any medications? Did your doctor give you any idea of what's causing the acne?

I have been put on Augmentin, Klarithran 500mg for a ten day period and have to take them twice a day. Was also give Prednisone 5mg (starting with 8 tabs per day). I accidently took them twice a day. Feeling nauseous, very dizzy and fainted this morning and seemed to have a mild seizure. Could this be from the Prednisone or the antibiotics? ## Hello, Jo! How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? It is difficult to say for sure which one cause it, since it is a possibility from all 3 of them, according to the NIH. However, it is a situation that could become dangerous, if left unchecked, so you need to contact your doctor immediately, or seek emergency medical attention.

Have been off acetaminophen with codeine for 24 hours. Can I safely switch to naproxen sodium 220 mg? ## You can, if you've been instructed to do so by your medical provider, but you should be away that it is not going to help you pain as much, since the Naproxen is just a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does this have any effectiveness? Just had minor surgery and my husband gave this to me but I don't think it is working. ## No, it most likely doesn't, according to the NIH. It would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply that isn't expired. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Naproxen as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Did the surgeon not prescribe anything?

Are naproxen 500 Mg tabs gluten free? ## @Wm1202, From what I could gather, the inactive ingredients in Naproxen 500 mg tablets are as follows: -[Croscarmellose sodium]- This comes from wood pulp or cotton fibers. It contains no sugar or starch. -[Povidone]- This is made from synthetic polymers -[Magnesium stearate]- 'Well, we know magnesium is gluten free...' Having seen that list I think it's safe to say that any Naproxen containing this particular set of inactive ingredients is deemed gluten-free. Please be aware however that binders/fillers may be subject to change from one product to the next. I hope this helps!

Hello, last week 12-07-16 I got a dexa shot of 2mg for URI and it helped but started to get many adverse side effects like weakness, stomach bloating, hot flashes, body ache, headache dizziness. I still feel unwell, could It be adrenal shutdown? Please help. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, since it is a steroid type of medicine, according to the FDA. You may also experience nausea, insomnia, nervousness, and fluid retention. If you're worried, it never hurts to have your doctor check things out, though. Are you on any other medications?

One reason it could be happening is due to a deficiency in Magnesium, thus the solution can be as simple as eating more Magnesium rich foods or tak...

Can it be used on dogs hot spots? ## Will it hurt a dog if ingested ## Hi Denise, Personally I think it would be a good idea to contact a veterinarian before treating any animal with any medication - Regardless of whether it's a cream or pill for ingestion. The way their system reacts/responds to many types of drugs can be vastly different from what we perceive as normal, so it's better to be overly safe than take even a slight risk with our pets. Something else worth noting is that if the cream isn't used properly, one of its active ingredients (Betamethasone - a steroid) may make some skin conditions worse off. I wish only the best for you and your pet! ## Our vet usually prescribes Otomax for any hot spots/infections, which has the same ingredients as Gelmicin. So it SHOU...
