1524673 tn?1327841500 My left side is totally messed up as is my eyesight. I have been prescribeda med called Cambia. Main ingredient is Diclofenac Potassium. This works will the first couple of times I took it although it truly messes me up, couldn't understand why as it is not a narcotic. Yesterday my blood work came back and my cortisol levels are low. Blood taken before I stated this med. I have had problems with adrienal glad for years. My question is should I take a med with Potassium in it?

Avatar f tn t have kneecaps. He prescribed diclofenac potassium for the pain. What other options do I have? The MRI shows the beginning of arthritic changes, but I still have a good cushion between the bones.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
653169 tn?1303446369 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?
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn 5g per day, it has very potent antioxidant effect too and it is a common vegetable to eat directly in many countries my father uses one from germany, doloteffin, active aragospide 400mg, he takes 3pills per meal 3 times a day.it takes time to work, about 4-6 weeks and after taking it for a year my father stopped with no back pain again. he used diclofenac sodico 1,00 mg.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I took serratiopeptidase + diclofenac potassium capsule by doctors advice. I took rest for 2 weeks but when I started playing it started again. Please advice.
Avatar n tn what is the difference between Potassium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate and Potassium Citrate?
Avatar m tn m 23y old guy some years before at the age of 20 i fell extremely sick nausea, vomiting weight loss, fever, pain in both waists like my both waists are being squeezing tightly, my stomach hurt, muscle spasms, unable to eat and drink anything, then first i went to GP he had prescribed me some medicines like paracetamol,diclofenac, maxolon for vomiting but day by day my condition getting worse i couldn't move my body freely my nerves had like dried and raised up and became like hardened.
Avatar n tn The first time I did it and actually got a reaction out of my body was when I was probably about 13-14, I took diclofenac potassium (25mg per pill) and citlopram (not mine, 10 or 20mg per pill). I can't remember how much I took, I think it was averaging at about 10 pills of each.
Avatar n tn It could be several things really. Maybe you're not stretching those muscles enough inbetween uses. Maybe you're not drinking enough water. Maybe your potassium levels are too low or too high. If it continues for an extended period of time, see your doctor.
Avatar f tn Consume high-potassium foods such as fruits (specifically, avocados, apricots, bananas, dates, nectarines, oranges, raisins), vegetables (specifically artichokes, parsnips, spinach, tomatoes, yams), whole grains, molasses, clams, cod, halibut, yogurt, and nuts. Low potassium can lead to problems with your muscles and heart. Too much potassium can lead to irregular heartbeats. Too much magnesium, on the other hand, will give you loose bowels.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply! After I entered this, I went to the Health Food Store where she bought the Potassium Iodide. I took a bottle to the person who is the "health advisor". I asked him if it would he recommend this supplement for someone taking Synthroid? He very quickly said: "NO!!!" I then explained that my friend come to the store the day before inquiring which potassium to take for "low potassium".
473384 tn?1210206242 like that was going to last!). 6 months ago I started taking diclofenac (an NSAID) and apparantly it works REALLY WELL for pain b/c I am supposed to stop taking it 7-10 days before surgery b/c of bleeding issues. I stopped it last week and OMG I can't believe how bad my pain became. I could not even walk, could not get comfortable in bed to sleep, etc etc etc.
Avatar n tn And please remember, that if you see multiple doctors, you should let them know all medications you take including anything over the counter such as aspirin. Here is information regarding diclofenac gel. https://www.drugs.com/voltaren-gel.html. Diclofenac is voltaren and the gel contains the Nsaid. This information states clearly that aspirin should not be used at the same time. Normally, blood thinners are also not used with Nsaids.
Avatar n tn My hypothyroidism is causing me to have leg cramping, especially during rigourous excersize. I was told that if I take potassium the cramps should lessen, but my hypothyroidism also caused me to develop high cholesterol. Is it bad to take a potassium pill of 99mg when you have high cholesterol? Mine is about 210.
