Rumoquin Long Term Effects

Updated

I am taking Rumoquin NF every 2 days. I had hip pain and lower back pain from a double level fusion done in 1982. Almost all my pain has gone. This medication is amazing. However, I am concerned about the long term side effects of using steroids. What would you recommend for someone in my situation? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Rumoquin N.F. made by Schoen Lab in Mexico contains the following active ingredients: Methocarbamol (215mg) + Indomethacin (25mg) + Betamethasone (0.75mg). As with any medication taken long term, only you and your doctor can decide if the possible benefits to you outweigh the potential risks. However, you can view a brief side effect profile for each active ingredient below to help make a more informed decision upon consulting with your doctor.


Side effects of Methocarbamol are listed as follows:

  • drowsiness
  • dizziness
  • upset stomach
  • blurred vision
  • fever
  • black, blue, or green discoloration of urine

I am thinking of taking Rumoquin NF for intense arthritic foot pain. I have had surgery with bone fusion, pins and more. The Dr. states I cannot have more relief because of the extensive arthritis in my feet. I do have cortisone shots when possible. I cannot stand for more than an hour, or walk more than a few minutes due to pain, and that is with use of Percocet and Gabapentin. Will Rumoquin NF be a problem with those meds, or is it something that may help me become more mobile with the easing of my pain? I am willing to try anything that will not cause harm. Thank you.
