Anti-Inflammatory Forums (Page 83)

my doctor prescribed me this medication for menstrual cramps & he recommended to take it daily for 2 weeks, why should i take it for 2 weeks when my period will bother me only for 2 days? ## Probably as a preventative, the symptoms that cause menstrual cramping actually start to build up for awhile, before the bleeding actually starts. Learn more Naproxen details here. I can't speak for your doctor, this is just a theory and ultimately, how long you take it is up to you. Are there any other questions or comments?

I have some naproxen pills from a surgery a couple years back, and I have a symptom that needs an anti-inflammatory. Is it safe to take the outdated naproxen? ## There's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication, but according to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after the expiration date. But the question is whether or not the drug you ...

I have been on the drug Prednisone, for an average of 13 years. My doctor wants me completely off Prednisoe, but in it's place Plaquinil. Any thoughts? ## There have been a few people that have posted about using it, I'll dig up a few links for you, so you can see what they've said about it. Learn more Plaquenil details here. There aren't a lot of posts, it seems it isn't very commonly used, at this time. However, your doctor wanting you off Prednisone is understandable, since long term use of steroids can cause serious health issues. What are you being treated for?

? can I sub diflofenac dr? what is the difference? ## are diclofenac dr and indomethacin cr interchangable? ## They are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are used to treat pain, fever and swelling, so they can be used to treat the same conditions, but they aren't directly interchangeable, because the required dosages would be different. Learn more Diclofenac details here. Learn more Indometacin details here. Your pharmacy also won't arbitrarily switch you from on to another, they both do require prescriptions, so such a change would have to be approved by your doctor. Have you been recommended one over the other?

can i buy metasone plus on-line ## From what I could gather, Metasone (Betamethasone) is a topical steroid that helps relieve inflammation and itch that may occur with certain skin conditions and allergies; but has other uses as well. Based off of the the limited information I came across, I'm led to believe that this medication is manufactured in or around India. However, the active ingredient (Betamethasone) is available here in the US, as it is found in a number of other topical brands, such as: Diprolene, Valisone, Diprosone, & Luxiq Are you open to trying any other brands?
