Olfen contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Upping your dosage can increase the risk of certain side effects, which may include liver and stomach damage, so you shouldn't do so, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.

Will this drug raise your sodium level or cause problems for someone on blood presssure medications? Can it cause a problem with your kidneys? ## The sodium in the name just refers to the type of chemical salt it is derived from, so no, it will not raise your sodium levels. However, Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and, as such, it is generally not advised to be used by people with high blood pressure, because it can cause fluid retention, which may lead to congestive heart failure. Has your doctor advised you to use this?

What is SEZO, it belongs to which company? ## From what I can find, Sazo contains the active ingredient Sulfasalazine. It is an anti-inflammatory, that is normally used to treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. It is rarely used any more, because it has shown evidence of being hepatoxic. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments?

my gf is 2mOnth pregnant and she totally use 6 cytotic orally she use 2cytotic after evry 2hrs. with empty stomach she experience the following side effects of cytotic. my question is: is it ok if my gf eat their food after taking cytotic? does the baby is dead?plEAse answer me ## Has she consulted a doctor? I am afraid I cannot tell you whether or not the Cytotec worked. It doesn't work for everyone and, in many cases, the Misoprostol in it is coupled with Mifepristone, to increase its chances of success for abortion. She will need to see a doctor, or what awhile and see if her menstrual cycle starts or do a pregnancy test. Taking it with food can help with some of the side effects, such as the nausea and diarrhea.

my daughter is 10 years and my husband is 24 years both are complaining of fever, stomach pain,headache they have vomited twice and on diarhhea would you recommend this medicine for them ? ## It sounds like they both have food poisoning. Did they both start feeling this way after a certain meal? Bad food poisoning can bring with it a fever, stomach pain, vomitting, diarrhea, etc...and last for up to a few days. Just a thought, as this very thing happened to me not too long ago, with the exact same side effects you mentioned. Felt I like was going to die, until it finally passed through my system. Anyhow, hopefully this isn't the case for them, but if it is, you can be certain that it will pass sooner than later. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, used to treat pain, fev...

I have recently found a tablet in my daughter's room. It is a small round tablet with an H on one side and a line on the other. Is there anyone able to shed some light as to what it is? ## probably just an aleve, or a tylenol ## We live in the UK so it's not either of the two suggested tablets that you mentioned, however, I really appreciate your response. Many thanks. ## Tracking down identifications for tablets from other countries is very difficult, since we are based in the U.S. Have you tried asking a pharmacist/chemist? I can't find any listings for anything with just an H marking on it.

My Dad just got receive a supplement yesterday. it's a 180x500mg Green Lipped Mussel Capsules. Just want to asked what's the main benefits of this? Is there are restrictions for those people who will take it? Has anyone tried this before? please shared your thoughts.. Thank You! ## Since this is a supplement, rather than a medication, it is difficult to provide you with a lot of information on it, because they are not tested for safety, nor analyzed for side effects, like that which is done for prescription medications. That said, manufacturers claim that it has anti-inflammatory properties to help with conditions like arthritis and bursitis, but this is not actually proven. This also means that I can't answer your question about restrictions, or possible dangers, since this...

Help! I've been taking Naproxen off & on for a complaint in my hands & they give me such awful stomach cramps & seen to cause me to be more tired & lose concentration etc that I stop taking them & just suffer the pain in my hands as its less bother than the aparant side effects from the Naproxen. Am I alone with this or does anyone else suffer? ## Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so the tiredness and etc. can be normal side effects, they are also well-known to cause stomach irritation, because they can cause the stomach to produce more acid. Have you discussed these problems with your doctor? How high of a dosage have you been taking? There are various solutions that your doctor may be able to help you with, such as lowering the dosage, using a diffe...

plz tell me about lomoxicam drug category, indications whereto be used mainly, competitive advantage over diclofenac, aceclofenac, piroxicam, meloxicam etc, also tell the names if any brand available and the manufacturer. ## Lomoxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, commonly used to treat pain, swelling and fever. So, it is in the same drug class as the other medications you mentioned. It does not, necessarily, have any competitive advantages, it is just that different medications work different for various people. They may not respond to one, so this gives doctors another choice that they can try. It is available as a generic, so it is made by several companies, including Bangda Pharmaceuticals. I have not, however, been able to discover a name brand for it, which makes sense, bec...
