hi. my mother has been diagnose with osteoporosis.she was advised glucosamine initially...and now she has been advised diacerein capsules.It might be quite layman like to ask...but which is the better medicine of the two?? there is a third option of biofosa 35 as well. her age is 53 Yrs and she has no prior history of this ailment. ## Well, the Glucosamine is a supplement, not a medication. It is substance that is naturally found in our joints and there has actually been no proof that supplementing it will actually replace it in the joints and help. The Diacerein is an actual drug, it works by inhibiting interleukin-1. Bifosa contains Alendronate and this helps with bone metabolism, to prevent them from breaking down further. Now, of the two actual medications, they both do different th...

Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more Meloxicam details here. Celebrex contains the active ingredient Celecoxib, it is both an NSAID and a selective Cox-2 inhibitor, so it kind of treats a bit more than the Meloxicam.

Hi, I'm on pinaclav 500 for 5 days now. I've another 5 days to go and since today there has been blood in my semen. Could the pinaclav be causing this. There is no pain, just a red tint. These are large white tablets, I'm also taking vimovo 500. These are orange. ## HI, Dub! Have you consulted your doctor? It's really difficult to say what may be causing it from just the limited information in your post, but there is a chance that it could be a serious medical issue that needs treatment. How much blood? ## Sounds like it's your kidneys or bladder infection and it is bad

Hi, I am looking for good brand of over the counter medication bottles of Glucosamine 500mg and Chondroitin 400mg combined if possible, in Canadian pharmacies or drug stores in Vancouver BC. ## Hello, Peter! How are you? I really don't know what brands are available to you in Canada, but what I think would be a good way to find out would be by asking a pharmacist/chemist. They are usually very knowledgable about which ones are the good brands, because they pay attention to what their customers prefer. Is there anything else I can help with?

my wife is diabetic. she had the 3 synvisc injections one week apart. after the second injection her blood sugar dropped by about 20%. after the third shot her blood sugar dropped another 20%. she takes 1 injection of lantus per day. she has had to reduce this by 75%. we cant find any information on synvisc changing a persons blood sugar level and dont know if the events are related ## I've done more searching and so far, I've found one mention of another women having low blood sugar after starting Synvisc, but she had quite a few health problems going on, so it was never actually definitively tied to this medication. Learn more Synvisc details here. Has anything else changed, such as her diet, or other medications? ## I had a shot of SynVisc yesterday and my BG is 3x higher tha...

How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. With the advent of ObamaCare, there are many plans available that people can now apply for and the cost varies according to your income, thus if you're low income or have no income, you may qualify for completely free coverage. You need to search for the insurance website in your state, or search on the federal site to see what is available. Another alternative is to contact the social work department of your nearest large hospital, they usually keep a list of resources just for people like you that don't have coverage, ...

I take synthroid but I feel very tired all the time. We checked by blood & my dosage is fine. I also started meloxicam a few months ago. I thought it worked pretty well. But now I am wondering if my tiredness could be from the meloxicam. If I think back I started feeling this way about 2 months ago & started the meloxicam about 4 months ago. Would advil or the like be better for me? I have arthritis in my hands. ## Actually, tiredness is reported by most people that take a medication for their thyroid issues, even if their tests are good and things are under control. It just seems to be a side effect that never really goes away. Such medications are much more prone to causing it than the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. If it's okay with your doctor, you could try Advil, wh...
