Avatar f tn advil is a minor anti inflammatory I have never heard of it prescribed for this before but it could help a little I suppose more widely prescribed for GM are some of the big anti inflammatories - particularly prednisone or methotrexate I did take Naproxen for some time, (months at a pretty high dose - it really attacks your stomach lining though so I went off), which I guess is a step up from advil, and is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID), can't say if it helped with the inflamma
Avatar n tn Eat with everything you take - take it with a large class of milk, eat crackers, or something. Advil will also eat your stomach. Speak to the pharmacist about your discomfort and if you can take any OTC meds and when and how to take them. I take steroids to live and you can only take the acid reducers in a certain way in order not to reduce the potency of the other meds you are on. Talk to your doctor as well - but eat.
Avatar m tn I concur about the Advil, you can also overdose on Advil, please be very careful. Does your doctor know your taking that much ibuprofen?
Avatar f tn I take 800 ADVIL when the pain gets really bad and when it is unbearable I go on PREDNISONE for 7 days. I do not do the prednisone more than 2X a year.
Avatar n tn Taking advil once won't do any harm. But definitely try to avoid taking it at all costs. It can cause developmental issues with bub if taken too often (also not recommended at all during 3rd trimester). See your doctor for alternate pain relief. They may recommended to you a codeine and paracemtemol product which tends to be safer than anti-inflammatories, at least for short term until a dentist can be seen. Good luck x.

1182699 tn?1297574784 Ibuprophen interacts with beta blockers interfering with their ability to lower blood pressure. I would think if you aren't taking beta blockers it would have very little if any effect on your blood pressure.
Avatar f tn Within the past year I noticed that after taking Advil I started breaking out with hives under my eye. I have never had this problem then it started. I was wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to them and what if any were the causes identified. I am 30 years old and a smoker. Also, it doesn't happen all the time but only sometimes. I don't know what would cause this to happen and not consistently. For example, this morning I took it and I was fine.
Avatar m tn I was searching to see about taking Prednisone with Avonex since I have developed Temporal Arteritis and am taking the Prednisone for that and tonight is shot night. I was wondering about the two together. I think you all have answered my question. I take two 8 hour Tylenol or Ibuprofen before my injection. I go to bed immediately and only occasionally suffer any "flu-like" symptoms. I guess everyone has to just experiment and find what works for them.
Avatar f tn The argument over use of oral prednisone is long-standing. The answer is yes, use of oral prednisone definitely predisposes a person to new infections, both viral and bacterial. That being said, once a given strain of flu is defeated natural antibodies prevent re-infection with that exact strain. It's like getting a vaccination. With oral prednisone the problem is risk vs. benefit. Prednisone affects different people in different ways.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 18 years old and I just came back from Costa Rica about 5 days ago when I realized my breasts and back were extremely itchy. I went to take a shower later that day and i noticed small flat bright pink dots COVERING my boobs. Like I said, I just got back from Costa Rica so it was hard to notice the dots on my arms and lower abdomine bc i was so tan but believe me, I could feel them and it bright light I could also see them.
910930 tn?1242959206 IBD cats are usually treated with prednisone along with other things. As the IBD gets worse, the dosis increases (until the cat has to be put to sleep) So then you have a diabetic, IBD cat. But, after all, medication for a long time has its side effects, right? Usually, the liver gets damaged, and if it isn't the liver then it's the heart; but something gets messed up when both humans and animals are kept on medication long term.
Avatar f tn Doctors usually recommend an initial high dose of the corticosteroid drug prednisone for people with autoimmune hepatitis. The medication is reduced to the lowest possible dose that controls the disease over a few weeks. Most people need to continue taking the prednisone for at least 18 to 24 months, and some people remain on it for life. Although you may experience remission a few years after starting treatment, the disease often returns if the drug is discontinued.
Avatar m tn He also prescribed singulair, prednisone(10 mg for 7 days), flonase, antibiotic, and some cough syrup and mucinex. The prednisone helped with the pain but didnt make it completely go away. So Im not sure what my next step should be. This has been going on for a several months now and doesnt seem to be getting any better.
1627204 tn?1302012537 I'm so glad u found a great rheumatologist that u like. It makes such a difference. I'm taking 10mg prednisone and folic acid daily and take 3 2.5 mg tablets once a week of methotrexate but go Monday to adjust those to lower the prednisone and up the methotrexate . I have been on them about 4 months and the plan is to go off prednosone by 6 months and let the methotrexate do the heavy lofting and be on it about a year if not longer.
Avatar f tn However, I have been taking Advil since then, even though the pain is not gone. Could you tell me the symptoms of a blood clot, stroke or any idea what this pain may be related with?
Avatar f tn every week I have severe headaches with nousea and it don't get better after taking Tylenol and advil of 600 mg ,pain remains in my head due to 6 to 8 hours , I am asthamatic too ,please advise some other treatment for headaches
1742269 tn?1315381633 I had to revert back to taking excedrin because i have not had much success with this product, except for when my jaw, TMJ, is acting up.
Avatar m tn If he has been taking prednisone for sometime he cannot cold turkey off it or internal damages will occur - one has to slowly wean off. His doctor should have explained this and/or provided written documentation. High glucose levels can cause confusion in patients. This appears to be your boyfriends current enemy, uncontrolled and unmanaged diabetes.
Avatar f tn I am addicted to Tramadol from fribromyalgia pain and I ran out of tram and I had some left over hydro so I took some to help with restless legs and it did work a little, I know its bad but I didnt know what else to do. But my question is it safe to mix Vicodin with Advil pm? Its almost 1 am and I just want to be done with the day now, but I dont wanna get hurt or anything...
Avatar f tn I was afraid that I had affected the baby by taking Advil and aleve. So far things are going great and no issue with the baby. Not sure how the baby would have been affected after 32 weeks. I'm a first time mom so I'm not sure but I would just check in with the doctor just to be on the safe side and to feel secure.
4528412 tn?1357069833 I just bought a packet that comes with two pills since the stores around me didn't have Benadryl . Is it okay for me to take one or two of the pills to help me sleep ? ( plus I have bad back pain so it's like killing two birds with one stone ) I just wana take it this one time because I haven't slept well for a few weeks now and can't function throughout the day because I'm so tired .
