I am suffering from osteoporisis and i have been recommened Kondro Acute tablets. Actually i wanted to know if it is safe for Kidney as my right kidney is not functioning, only my left kidney is funtioning so i have to be very careful in taking medicines. Please let me know at the earliest. ## Kondro Acute contains Glucosamine and Diacerein, this combines a supplement claimed to help joint mobility with an interleukin-1 inhibitor. So, the main concern here is the Diacerein, since it is the actual drug component. From what I have found, when someone has lowered kidney function, the dosage of this medication must be adjusted accordingly. Lowered renal function can cause 50% more of this medication to be absorbed by the body than normal, which could result in overdose. Was this prescribed ...

how do you take zempred 4 for bronchitis ## Zempred contains the active ingredient Methylprednisolone, which is a CorticoSteroid. Administration guidelines note the following: "Methylprednisolone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. Your doctor will prescribe a dosing schedule that is best for you. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand." Since the guidelines are pretty vague, I'm assuming that it's essential for your to contact your doctor about the right dosage instructions for "you". One manufacturer of Methylprednisolone is Sandoz. I would also consider contacting them directly at the link below if you have any questions or comments that your doctor may not be able...

Need to know what is in it? Is it causing my weight gain? I take it daily and have no pain. but have gain substantle weight. ## The information I am finding on Artridol lists it as being a supplement that contains Glucosamine, which is believed to help with various conditions that cause joint pain. That said, however, as a supplement, it has not been studied for side effects, as is done for actual prescription medications. Thus, it is difficult to say what may be causing your weight gain. Have you consulted your doctor?

My wife has been taking Salsalate for many years. Up to now the price has been acceptable but the last order increased the price by FIVE times. The manufacturer has been Amneal which recently bought out a competitor. Also, tests are being done to possibly treat diabetics with this drug. Can you tell me if there are other US drug manufacturers for this drug or equivalent ? If not in the US, then a reliable foreign maker? ## I'm actually not finding any clear information on what companies are still manufacturing this, since it is available as a generic and under several name brands. Have you tried checking prices with different pharmacies?

27 years ago I was in an accident. And now when the weather changes I have a lot of arthritis pain in my my right hand and all of my arm running from my hand to the neck. This pain lasts from 1 to 4 days. Doctor has prescribed this combination of drugs and I'm wondering if it will help? Thanks a lot. Maria ## Have you used this medication in the past? This combination is not available in the U.S. From what I know, it is prescribed in Mexico as a muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory. It should technically help with the symptoms you are describing. I would suggest working closely with your doctor to ensure that the treatment is working out and that you aren't dealing with any long term side effects.

The pill is oblong and white with 86 on one side and 15 on the other side. Was told it was a muscle relaxer. ## Can you please double check the marking? I haven't found anything with that marking in our U.S. prescription drug resources. However, I found one that is close, it actually has a 93 on one side, which could be misunderstood if you were looking at it upside down and a 15 on the other, it contains 500mgs of the active ingredient Nabumetone, which is used to treat pain and inflammation.

Was given to me for pain and muscle relaxer due to degenerative arthritus of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th verterbre. The 7th verterbre is the worst and recommends surgery to repair missing verterbre in all verterbra missing disc, 2 thru 7. Dr said it had really taken a toll on 7. ## Tizanidine is strictly a muscle relaxant, not a pain reliever, the only way it can help with pain is by preventing or relieving muscle spasms. Side effects may include; nausea, headache, dizziness and dry mouth. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments?

My mother(aged 48 years) was presribed the FreeFlex Forte tablets due to pain in the knees. after consuming the drug she is complaining about giddiness and shivering of her hands and legs. Is this the side effect of the drug..? ## Freeflex Forte is actually not a drug, it is a supplement that contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin, which are substances that are naturally present in our joints. It is commonly believe that a lack of them, due to aging or injury can cause joint problems and pain, and that replacing them can help with those conditions. Since it is a supplement, not a drug, the side effect profile has not been studied and I can't really answer your question. Is she on any other medications? ## I am taking freeflex forte capsule twice a day, since last 10 days i have apain ...
