Rumoquin Pill Information
UpdatedIt's a round lavender pill with no imprint on the pill itself.
Sorry, I can't find anything under that name in prescription databases or otherwise. If there are no imprints on the pill, then it is not a prescription drug from the US, of any kind. All prescriptions sold legally in the US must have, by law, a unique imprint for ID purposes.
And I am afraid that since I can't find that name listed anywhere, I am unable to tell you anything about this, sorry.
Without Rumoquin NF I literally could not get out of bed and walk in the morning for almost an hour. I lived in Mexico for 8 years and suffer with arthritis in all the joints of both legs and my right hand. This is not a pain killer. It is the best anti-inflamatory I have ever used. When I returned to live in the US I had enough for a few months and figured I could get something comprable here. After running out and my doctor not giving me anything except telling me to take glucosamin with condroitant and MSG or something like that which did absolutely nothing at all, I contacted a friend still in Mexico and she mailed me a few bottles. I took 2 the 1st day they arrived and by morning I was OK again. I take one a day. One of my grown sons hurt his shoulder at work, took 2 and had the same results, no pain plus his knee stopped hurting from a previous injury. There is no controlled substance in it and there was no problem bringing it across the border. It costs 99 pesos (about $10) for a 30 day supply. The ingrediants are Fenibutazona,Metocarbamol &Dexametasona. This is of course in Spanish. Not for use by pregnant women or children under 12. I can give you the name of the Lab that makes it and their address if you want. It has not even shown up on any of my lab work here which I do on regular basis for other health issues. It has not interferred with any of my other medications either. I have not suffered from any side effects.
Where can this drug be purchased for my aunt's use in United States?
It cannot be purchased in the US, it is not approved for use here by the FDA, so it is not available in any stores or pharmacies here.
i would like toknow from maria what are the affects this pill rumoquin ns might have if any on your other body organs if it is take to much
My aunt in Mexico sent Rumoquin NF to my mother for her aches and pains, however it was first tried by my husband who has tendanitis - from construction work. He has just been on it for 6 days. First 4 days he took 2 pills a day and now he is on only 1 pill. He definately felt the pain lessen in both his arms without any side effects.
I was searching the website trying to find out as much info. on this as possible and to see where more can be purchased, but now I understand that since it hasn't been approved by our FDA that we can only purchase it in Mexico. If later it is found that we can purchase this in the US, please let me know and I will do the same. Thanks, Judy
I'm leery about taking this drug, why wasn't it approved in the us?
I understand concern about our FDA not having approved Rumoquin yet but let me say this. Our FDA has very lengthly processes before it approves anything and then it is not fullproof. I am 60 years old and I remember very clearly woman in the late 60's taken a birth control pill that had Thlidomide (sp?) in it. It was approved by our FDA and thousands of babies were born missing limbs that was proven to be caused by the Thalidamide ingredient. There have been other examples of this happening throughout my lifetime. All I can tell you is my doctor knows I'm taking it and knows it works. She has had many lab test done on me and there has been no evidance of any interferrance with other medications she has me on such as diabetes, high blood pressure, water retention, cholesterol medications. There has also been nothing found in my liver or kidney function. The only thing I know for sure is if I don't take it I am in terrible pain from the inflamation around the joints in my legs and hands. As I said before, there is no controlled substance. It is not a pain killer. It is an anti imflamatory. How they put the right combination together in the labs in Mexico and we can't seem to do the same here is hard for me to understand since I am used to thinking everything is done better here in the U.S. but that is obviously not always true.
I am a nurse, I bought a bottle of this in Mexico. Let me tell you, it works, but you should be aware of a few things. The three ingredients are (english equivilent of the mexican words) methocarbamol (aka robaxin, brand name), phenybutazone, dexamethasone. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant, similar to flexaril, but much less sedating. Phenybutazone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (think naprosyn, ibuprofen), dexamethasone is a potent steroid (used not for muscle building but for anti-inflammatory purposes). The relative doses on all three are small by US comparisons, but I have found it quite effective. ***However, DO NOT USE THIS MED FOR LONG TERM!*** Dexamethasone (decadron) reduces your ability to fight infection and causes osteoporosis, also long term will suppress your endocrine system. Phenybutazone can, in rare cases, suppress your bone marrow, leaving you very vulnerable to infections. A week, even a month, would be okay, more than that, I would be very, very wary of.
Maria, could I have the name and address of the Lab that makes Rumoquin. Can I order it?Thanks Nancy
Nancy, the container reads as follows. Laboratorios Marcel,
S.A. de C.V.
Calzada Gonzalez Gallo
No. 1707
Colonia Atlas C.P. 44870

I don't know if you can order it or not. My friend has always brought it to me or mailed it. It can be bought in almost any pharmacy in Mexico without a Rx. Hope this helps you.
Maria Thank you so much...I will see what I can do.....Nancy

Do you mean that you may only take Rumoquin one entire week or one entire month and that is it. Will you clarify the manner for best results of taking rumoquin?
When I first started taking it I took 2 tables the first day. I immediately woke up without symptoms the next morning! Then I took 1 tablet daily for about 2 months. Experimenting on my own I cut it to one table every other day, then one table every 3 to 4 days. I have gone as long as 2 tablets every two weeks before I started having the pain return so that is how I take it now. I have been taking it since 2000.
I have some problems with my knees and someone told me to try Rumoquin NF which is manufactured in Mexico, where I am based. Question: What do I need to know to make sure the problem I have has something to do with rheumatoid
I would think only your doctor could tell you if it's rheumatoid. Mine is not. I just have regular arthritis but it's sever in my hips and less sever in my hands and knees. If your doctor says that an anti-inflamatory would help then I would ask about this medicine. It has made all the difference in the world to my daily life.
YES RUMOQUIN IS AVAILABLE IN MEXICIO. I HAVE FOUND NO SUBSTITUDE IN THE US. IT COSTS ABOUT 10 DOLLARS. WE US IT FOR OUR CANINE GREAT DANE WHO IS 10 YEARS OLD-- IT IS A GREAT PAIN RELIEVER FOR OUR AGING DOG. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT SCIENTIFIC DATA ABOUT THIS DRUG BEING USED FOR DOGS, THIS IS WHAT OUR MEX VET RECOMMENDED. THIS DRUG IS MANUFACTURED BY LABORATORIOS MARCEL, S.A. DE CV, CALZADA GONZALEZ GALLO NO 1707, COLONIA ATLAS C.P. 44870, GUADALAJARA, JAL, MEXICO.
ITS INTEND USED IS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. THERE IS NO PRESCRIPTION REQURIED FOR THIS MEDICATION AT MOST MEXICAN PHARMACIES. JUST WALK UP AND PAY.
This is considered a dangerous drug as it contains Decadron [a steroid], Robaxin [a muscle relaxant], and Phenylbutazone, a very toxic non-steroidal drug that is not longer sold in the USA because was found to be too dangerous and can cause severe anemia and GI side effects. This is an irrational combination of medications.
Thank you for your information James.
Yes, these drugs are very dangerous. There is a reason this is not approved for use in the U.S. as he stated in his post.
I would also like to make sure that everyone knows that obtaining medications from outside the U.S. that are not approved for use here and that you do not have a prescription for is an ILLEGAL activity.
There is a lot of pills and information they don't want us to know about. God forbid them to help us all. They would'nt make any money and thats what it is all about is the MONEY. Read THE NATURAL CURES books that are out there. It makes so much sense that it makes you sick to your stomach because its all under their control to make the money.

Re: RN who lives close to the border (# 49)
The most recent formula of this product contains no PBZ. Instead 75 mg diclofenac, a recognized ingredient in treatment of gout or arthritis. Formula as of 02-20-2017 is: 75 mg diclofenac, 200 mg methocarbamol, 0.75 mg dexametasona.
There are a lot of things that are made illegal for various agendas. Look at the medications that our wonderfull FDA has approved. Internal bleeding organ shutdown, suicidal thoughts, confusion, coma and death. US pharmaceutical and medical corporations would go out of business if people got better. So put that in your uppity thoughts!
The FDA works in conjunction with the pharmaceutical companies...they do not want a drug that will make millions of people feel better... Rumoquin works!
Please tell me how to get it. Im 40 yrs old with severe osteoarthritis in whole foot, ankle and ankle joint
I live on the border of US and Mexico and go once a month to Progreso Mexico and restock on Rumo...It is the best pill I have ever used for gout.
For three years have been in lot of pain. To where Iam's housebound. Can't walk far can't drive . At home can't do housework pain in my SCIATIC is a 24 hour pain nothing will take it way. Not even pain killers. Or nerve ending pills relievers either. A friend brought me Rumoquin n.f. Four pills only! Took one by god in 1/2 hour my scatic pain was gone. Something that l dreamed to find something for this scatic pain to go away. My friend got me a bottle of Rumoquin. I am very concern about side affects. But if you are careful and not take long term it will be fine. I only take one every 24 hrs.
checking out the drug info online, and the ingredients are found in OTC Tylenol Pain Nighttime, and Advil PM. Dicloflenac is a pain relief/anti-imflammitory, can be in a cream form, or tablet kind of like aspirin is in aspercream. Metacarb(sp) is a mild muscle relaxant found in most OTC pain PM meds. My mom had to get a precscription while visiting relatives in Mexico last fall, and the dr prescribed to her Rumoquin. Its cheap in Mexico, no idea why, but I assume that once the US/Canadian governments get their hands on it, they will make it near impossible for us to get access to it. If it works and its inexpensive why not? I would be a bit leary of meds for weight loss from any country regardless.
