diclofenac cox 2

Acetaminphen is a COX-2 inhibitor. I am allergic to NSAIDs (asthma attacks) but can safely take acetaminphen. If you and your doctor do decide that you are allergic to ibuprophen it is best to avoid all NSIADs, but acetaminphen should be safe to take.

Hi, welcome to the forum, Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, diclofenac and ibuprofen, are associated with an allergic adverse effects, ranging from mild rash to life-threatening allergic reactions. In such cases it becomes difficult to select appropriate pain killer. The next we usually recommend is paracetamol (she is also allergic to this drug). The reason for such allergy is cross reactivity which is seen in this class of drugs.

There are three different COX-2 inhibitors currently available to the public– Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra. COX-2 inhibitors have been associated with some liver dysfunction, although not as commonly as other NSAIDs. Recently, Vioxx has been removed from the market due to heart-related problems. Celebrex and Bextra are currently being investigated for similar heart-related toxicities. It is recommended that people with liver disease avoid using all NSAIDs.

Ibuprofen (Motrin) has been reported to cause severe liver injury in people with hepatitis C. A new generation of NSAIDs, known as the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, has recently been approved by the FDA. This group of NSAIDs has the advantage of having fewer gastrointestinal side effects – less abdominal discomfort and less risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, than conventional NSAIDs.

Question. I have started taking Diclofenac 75mg x's 2 a day to try and see if a non narcotic medication may give me some relief long term with my rib pain. I have taken it for 2 weeks and at first I didn't think it was helping at all. Now I think 1 of 2 things either A) it's starting to build up in my system and is helping better or B) My ribs just happen to feel a bit better lately.

Is anyone on Diclofenac? I am on it for an orthopedic condition and have been on it almost 4 weeks. It works, but am unsure how long I will be on it. As short a time as possible, I hope,...but, I was wondering....for those with arthritis (which it usually prescribed for,,).....are you on it daily? As an ongoing medication? I hope to go off it to avoid risks with prolonged usage,but up to now...it has not caused me any problems.

Does anyone have any experience with diclofenac? If so, does it work better than over the counter antiinflammatory drugs and does upset the stomach much?

i have taken diclofenac for over 20 years with no side effects i have had to come off the tablets 75mg x twice day 4 days ago as I am showing some drying of kidneys from another mediation to ensure it is that one i have come off anything whih might affect me.

The widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) function mainly through inhibition of cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 (Cox-1 and Cox-2). Unlike Cox-1, Cox-2 is considered an inducible and pro-inflammatory enzyme. We previously reported that Cox-2 is upregulated in activated human B lymphocytes and using Cox-2 selective inhibitors that Cox-2 is required for optimal antibody synthesis.

Hi there It doesn't sound very likely that you are pregnant as apart from the fact that he didn't finish inside you it was only day 2 of your cycle and days 9 to 15 are generally your most fertile days. You will probably find the missed period was caused by unneccesary worry last time. As he only fingered you. If you carry on stressing and not eating you will miss another period. How much do you weigh and how tall are you?

I think I need the strong stuff like diclofenac and B12 and b6. There is a pills called OKA B that I use to take when having muscle pain and it took pains away. But I've heard that diclofenac is not good to take during tx. Has anyone taken diclofenac during tx or is it too bad for the liver.

I checked interactions with carbamazepine + diclofenac epolamine topical/diclofenac ophtalmic/diclofenac potassium/diclofenac sodium/diclofenac topical.

htm A plausible mechanism exists There is evidence that the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2 are involved in the regulation of retinal blood flow.7 Interference with the action of these enzymes by either COX-2 inhibitors or conventional NSAIAs may therefore cause acute, temporary disturbance of vision. The clinical picture seen in the reported cases is consistent with this mechanism, although there may be other possible explanations.

I had my Cox Maze procedure done about three weeks ago. I think I had high hopes of a quick recovery and expectations that I would be able to do more by now. I am still in a lot of pain. I try to take the pain meds on a regular basis but often miss doses because of different reasons. Has anyone else had this procedure done? Can someone tell me when the pain will subside? All I want to do is get my life back on track. Thanks in advance.

but now I find myself wondering how I would do if I 1) dropped 20 lbs, 2) stayed on the diclofenac, 3) tried acupuncture? I only recently started finding out about acupuncture -- does it work by triggering the release of endorphins? this sounds like a sound theory. does being on narcs and/or NSAIDs interfere with acupuncture's efficacy? I would imagine, if acupuncture is based on endorphins, that narcs would interfere. but what about NSAIDs?

Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, self limiting viral infection of the skin. It generally affects children and typically occurs in the 2-5 age group. Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist.
