What pain medication can I take with Colchicine? Colchicine is not reducing the plain of my gout, only the swelling! ## Hello, Tonypps! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between the Colchicine and any of the standard over the counter medications, including Aspirin, Acetaminophen and Naproxen. However, it's always best to double check with your doctor. As listed by the FDA these medications may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

works extremely well for gout or arthritis joint pain and inflammation - suppositories unfortunately work best rather than tabs ## Hello, Django! How are you? Here's hoping you're still unchained! ;-) I'm glad that this medication is working for you. Suppositories tend to be absorbed faster, so the medication works quicker and it also avoids the stomach damage and nausea that can occur from taking oral medications. This medication contains the active ingredient Indomethacin, which is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, other side effects listed by the FDA may include headache and increased risk of bleeding. Are there any questions or concerns?

Do allopurinol 100 mg,triamterene- hctz 37.5-25 mg ,and tremodol all interact ok with each other ## Hello, Dtfancy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications in the MedScape database, but it's always best to double check such information to be certain.

Triam/HCTZ is most commonly used to lower high blood pressure and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and dehydration. Allopurinol is used to treat gout and some types of kidney stones, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fever and easy bruising. Is t...

osteoarthritis pain from lactic acid ## Hello, Jules! How are you? What condition are you asking about? It seems you're confusing several. Osteoarthritis is completely different from gout and the latter would involved uric acid. What have you been diagnosed with? NSAIDs can be used to treat osteoarthritis, unless one's health prohibits such, but gout often requires something to reduce the uric acid.

Since uric acid is considered an antioxidant that lowers the occurrence of free radicals one could assume that uric acid decreasing substances like Allopurinol should increase cancer incidence? Has anyone done any studies? Are there any databases to look for any correlation? If Allopurinol does not give cancer then the only argument against keeping the current level of uric acid in blood is invalidated.

Does allopurinol contain any sulfa? ## Based on my research, Allopurinol is not listed as a sulfa-containing drug. NOTE: Allopurinol, however, is regarded as one of the leading causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) - a condition that is also linked to many sulfa drugs. Just something I feel more patients should be aware of before taking this medication. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Allopurinol Details I hope this helps to answer your question!
