hurts to swallow not a sore throat but pain after i swallow ## Are you saying it hurts, after you swallow this medication? If so, then are you making sure that you take it with lots of water? Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and it may irritate the lining of the esophagus, if it comes into contact with it, because it isn't completely washed down. Alternatively, they can also increase your production of stomach acid, which can rebound into the esophagus and cause this type of irritation. Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to stop using this or you may need a medication to help reduce your stomach acid production.

My doctor prescribed Etoshine tablets for my spinal pain, my C5 and C6 are bulged. Is this medicine the only pain killer or cure for the disease? Please advise as I am very confused and in a lot of pain. ## This is a Cox2 Inhibitor, meaning it basically works a powerful anti-inflammatory and is commonly prescribed for these types of conditions. Most herniated discs clear up by themselves over time, your doctor is trying to get the inflammation to go down, so they will slip back where they belong. ## Complete cure is sometimes could not possible. This depends on your age. In the earlier stage of the problem, this medicine helps to cure along with someother precaustions (like physio theropy, excercises, yoga). If the problem is a chronic one chances are less. ## DR PRESCRIBED ETOSHINE 120...

Bee line herbal tablets for arthritis type problems are they safe to take ## Steroid or not Bee line herbal tablets for arthritis type problems are they safe to take ## I have to seriously recommend staying away from this product.

For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

i want any cream or gel containing capsaicin 0.05% and methyl salicylate 0.01% ## I'm sorry, this site does not manufacture, nor sell any products, this is an information only website. Creams containing Capsaicin would be topical products used for topical pain relief and muscle relaxation. There are several different products on the market, it's really just a matter of reading the ingredients to find one that contains what you are looking for. Are there any questions?

I had a pain in my left knee and that was diagnosed as 'mild' arthritis. this was about 3 years ago. ever since then, i have been excercising regularly and now that problem is under control. i take Triple A Cal as a supplement along with B cosules capsulses. My main question to u is ' what is the right time to take calcium?' i was told that it is best to take it during the day; so i have been taking it everyday after lunch. Can u please throw light on this. thank you ## There is really no specific time that you need to take it, you can take it any time that is best for you.

had stomach ulcers maybe 15 years ago will it be ok if i take omeprazol for protection to my stomach & taking enantyum ? ## Enantyum contains the active ingredient Ketoprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD and ulcers. There are no interactions listed between the two, but you may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. However, many doctors prescribe these types of stomach medications right along with NSAIDs, when someone has a prior history of gastric issues, to prevent the damage that the NSAIDs can cause. Is there anything else I can help with? ## thank you for your reply very helpful

kindly provide info on side effects of freeflex forte ## i would like to know the ingridients and side effects of freeflex forte capsules ## What is the composition of Free Flex for my mother. ## This is actually not a medication, it is a supplement, that contains Calcium, Chondroitin, Glucosamine and Vitamin C. The manufacturer name is listed as Universal. There are several websites that sell it, that will come up in a Google search. I do not, however, know the pricing or if you can have it shipped to India. It may be easier to just find an alternative that contains the same ingredients, there are many on the market. Do you have any questions? ## Taking Free Flex Forte 1 tablet daily has any adverse effect on medicines taken for BP, cholostrol and diabetics?

Is it still available? A small salmon colored pill that I took 50 years ago to build up melanin in the skin.It was called Meloxin.I took 2 pills 2 hours before going out in the sun.I used it on my first trip to Florida and it worked.I am red haired with fair skin,and I could stay out longer without getting sunburned. The army had tested it on soldiers in the desert,and I read about it and got a prescription for it and it really worked. ## The only thing I can find listed under the name Meloxin is a medication that contains the active ingredient Meloxicam, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and, of course, is not what you are seeking. Are you certain you are remembering the name correctly? I am very pale, as well, and for me, I just buy a super strong sun screen. Due to modern con...
