Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. More details may be read here: ## Does Diclofenac 50mg interact with Oxycontin ? I take Oxycontin 10mg TDS and Diclofenac 50mg BD ## Does diclofenac react with blood pressure medication? ## I was injected with Diclofenac 3 times within a week due to dental abscess & I do not recommend it as reacted badly due to having poor circulation & CHF, with BP sky high but heart rate dropping too low. My Doctor knew of my chronic illness. I would be careful of using this if elderly or have a heart problem as it apparently constricts the arteries.

Hi, I am 25 and I have been on prednisone since I was 15 for an adrenal deficiency I have. I was taking a 5mg dose daily for 10 years and typically I should be on them for life but I have recently decided that the side effects outweigh the benefits and have come off them about 9 weeks ago. The first week I did experience a horrible fever for a couple of days and could barely move. Now my symptoms (which I believe are due to the Prednisone withdrawals) consist of itchy rashes on my hands and feet, and also aches a pains everywhere! I wake up and everything seems to hurt from my feet to my neck. Are these symptoms due to coming off of the Prednisone and if so how long will the side effects take to subside? Thanks :) ## Hello, Monica! How are you? Did you come off of it abruptly, without a...

I order online prednisolone and usually get Omnicortil sent to me 5mg. However this time they sent me Comneslone-5. It states that this contains prednisolone 5mg.

can I also take prednisone(5mg) while taking hydrocodone 5 325? ## Hello, Mitch! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between them, but it is always best to double check to be sure. However, I can also tell you that they are frequently prescribed together to treat pain and swelling. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, weight changes, insomnia, nervousness and fluid retention. Is there anything else I can help with?

I used Gelmicin in Mexico to relieve the itching of bug bites... it seemed to work well but want to know if it really did work or was it a placibo effect? ## Hello, Douglas! How are you? When you have itching or irritation from bug bites, it is actually due to an allergic reaction to various components in their saliva, for instance, mosquito saliva contains a substance that helps keep the blood from clotting, for awhile, so they can feed and the raised welt with itching is due to your body having an allergic reaction to it…. That said, and getting to my point, one of the ingredients in Gelmicin is a steroid, Betamethasone, and they are often used to treat allergic reactions, because they can help reduce the body's immune response, as well as reduce the inflammation, so no, it ...

Have been given a 4 tablets daily for 5 days for server bug bites. Should I take them as stated or reduce after 2 days so it would be 3 on 3rd day 2 on 4th day then 1 for the remainder of the pills.

can the cream be used to soothe burning sensation in the rectal area... ## Hello, Miz! How are you? It is doubtful, this is an antifungal cream that is typically used to treat yeast infections or ringworm. Do you have piles? They can often cause anal burning, bleeding and pain. If so, then you will most likely need a hydrocortisone cream to help shrink them and alleviate the burning. Its typical side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA, may possibly include skin redness, irritation and itching. Have you consulted your doctor?

My husband died in our living room and I called 911. He was revived after they broke 3 ribs and had a major surgery and was hospitalized for weeks. When I panic I get short of breath. After Bill (husband) was taken to the hospital I had a panic attack and couldn't breathe. I called 911 and ended up in the hospital myself. At no time did anyone ask me about my history, what happened or anything. They just began giving me Prednisone. I had no idea what it was and took it. The take-down dose when I left the hospital was 20 mg three times a day for a certain period, then 10 mgs for another period and now I am down to 5 mgs per day and have been taking it for over a year. The hospital refuses to tell me what the dosage was when I was hospitalized but because of the 60 mg daily take-down ...

For a over 70 year old female: can they use Flexocam 15mg with any other high blood tablets? ## Neither the Flexocam, nor the Voltaren are blood pressure tablets.

Can I use Voltaren gel on the skin beneath my eyebrows and possibly on my eyelids for inflammation I have there due to Sjogren's Syndrome? ## Hello, Shira! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having.

It would be best to see your doctor to discover what would be safe for you to use. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including skin irritation, redness and dry skin. Is there anything else I can help with?
