I have been diagnosed with bell's palsy. I took 60 mg of Prednisone daily for 5 days. I still have dizziness so bad I can hardly walk. How long does this dizziness last? This is the fourth week that I have been sick. Disgusted with myself. ## Please tell me about how long this dizziness lasts? With bell's palsy? ## Hello, Jean! How are you? Why are you disgusted with yourself? It's not like this is a condition you could have prevented. As to the dizziness, if you are still having it, then you need to see your doctor, again. How long ago where you diagnosed with it? Most people do recover and many have great improvement as early as 10 days after the onset.

is the drug aceclophenac schduled under any category ## I think you mean Aceclofenac? If so, yes it is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This drug has higher anti-inflammatory action than conventional NSAIDs. It is a cytokine inhibitor. Aceclofenac works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of prostaglandins (chemicals in the body) which cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Aceclofenac is the glycolic acid ester of diclofenac.

I have had problems with my feet and legs swelling for over 10 years. Recently, I was placed on Prednisone by the doctor for possible RA. The fluid retention in my feet and legs have gone down considerably. I know that this is not the normal side effect taking this medication. Could you possibly tell me the ingredient that could be causing this? I have tried other fluid retention medication and nothing seems to work, but I'm not comfortable taking the Prednisone for a long period of time to solve the fluid retention problem. ## There are no other active ingredients, it is Prednisone, which is a steroid class medication. So, I do understand your concern about taking it for a long period of time, that can be very dangerous. Learn more Prednisone details here. What type of diet do you ...

Rumoquin-NF contains Dexamethasone, Methocarbamol and Phenylbutazone, so it combines anti-inflammatories and a muscle relaxant.
