Avatar f tn Yes, I do use this medication, however my RA doc has me make it up into a cream and use it topically instead of swallowing them and risking stomach and intestinal damage. Diclofenac is a rather old, but good good antinflamatory NSAID medication that really can ruin your stomach which is why they don't prescribe it much anymore. I know it may sound strange but it works really well.
Avatar f tn s inflamed tendons and prescribed Diclofenac soldium XR, an anti-inflammatory, twice a day. Wondering if this drug is safe for him to take given hepatitis and Cirrhosis. He has a call back into the PCP to double check before taking it, and I have a call in to his hepatologist to double check before taking it. While waiting for calls back from PCP or hepatologist, wondering if anyone on this forum may know the answer?
Avatar f tn I was put on antibiotics for a week on day 4 and booked in for an ultra sound. I was also given diclofenac to help with the pain. Avo upper data later the pain did not get better. I went back to the doctors and they weren't sure it was a kidney stone. Occasionally pain worsened on some days. Was prescribed codeine for when I needed it. I continued having pain and was signed off work. I only had fever on day 2. Had my ultrasound and nothing was found: no stones, no cysts or swelling.

653169 tn?1303446369 I tried Mobic and Nabumatone and had problems with upset stomach and headache. In addition to Fibromyalgia I also have arthritis in my spine and shoulder, so I take it for that and I can't live without it. Ibuprofen and Naproxen doesn't even touch the inflammation and pain.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with kidney stones (3.6mm and 5.4mm) and it's been 5 days I take medicine (rowatinex, omnic, diclofenac, omeprazole, no-spa). I masturbated twice since and I didn't produce any semen while I felt like i had orgasm. After I peed, I still didn't notice any semen in my pee.

Avatar n tn The effects of cholestyramine and colestipol on the absorption of diclofenac in man.Colestipol produces a similar but smaller effect. Though some information charts say that it should be used with caution in patients with Diabetes,it refers to underlying conditions as renal failure, hepatic impairment,IBS,stroke,clotting problems,asthma, allergies, CD/colitis,HTN,smoking,High LDL/HDL etc are present in your history. So donot worry about anything.
Avatar f tn Avoid potent ones like indomethacin and diclofenac since there is increased risk of kidney and heart failure. Opioids like co-codamol and hydrocodne may be required if severe pain is there and intracranial lesions are ruled out. eye and ear on the right need to be evaluated since this could be a referred pain. a brain MRI needs to be done to rule out any intracranial lesions or aneurysm. Take care and all the best.
Avatar f tn (original diagnosis kidney stones). I was prescribed Dicofenac (3 a day) and antibiotics (for 1 week). Urine tests had found blood traces in my urine. I was booked in for an ultrasound to see if there were any stones. Ultrasound on kidneys and bladder came back OK. I had also told the doctor about my fatigue and weight gain (as well as carpal tunnel and other symptoms) and the doctor sent me for a thyroid blood test. The thyroid came back as slightly under active.
Avatar n tn I have had a kidney stone and infection in the past. For the last two weeks I have had rt side back/flank tenderness and intermittent pain below ribs and in groin area. I went to the physician's assistant since my MD was out of town and she just told me to drink more water. I have been hydrating. I have waves of fatigue and nausea (not severe) and have been lethargic this entire time. I am concerned that I am not passing what I am consuming.
Avatar f tn Supartz and other forms of viscosupplementation are not anti inflammatory medications and if your articular cartilage is destroyed or you have Rheumatoid arthritis they may not work. Diclofenac is purely a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug and it will relieve the pain till it is acting in your body. Always take it after your food and avoid taking the medication on empty stomach.
Avatar f tn I have developped a skin problem in my finger tips wherein the skin gets dry and cracks. I have visited many dermatologists. When I use Diclofenac (skin ointment) the skin gets well after few days. But once I put my hand in detergent water, it gets ... [More] affected again. I have been using the medicine since three years and it seems to me that there is no permanent solution. What else should I do to get a complete cure?
Avatar m tn 5 MG / 3 Tablet a day / To lower urine acid Allopurinol Tablet 100 MG / 2 Tablet a day / To lower urine acid Diclofenac Sodium Slow Release Tab 100 MG/ 1 Tablet a day / Pain Kill I have been searching internet about the drug interaction with Truvada, I found few studies talking about Kidney Failure risk of taking truvada with diclofenac, I am not sure if the studies are confident or not. Can you kindly advise if I can still take the above medicines ?
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.
1140064 tn?1260918875 s not good for your intestines or stomach to take strong anti-biotics and Yakult/ Actimel seems to protect your innerds when taking them. I have had a scan which showed i have a right duplex kidney and a tiny kidney stone and every couple of months or weeks i get a UTI and i have been especially hygienic, but i had a few glasses of wine at a works party and bam i got a UTI or when i have sex bam i get a UTI, really annoying and frustrating....
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.
Avatar n tn t feel your kidney only the obstruction to and from your kidney. My doctor told me if i have back pain with the stent in that it might be other factors (ie pinched nerve, slipped disk) which i find hard to believe because it is the exact swollen, numb and bruised type feeling that helped me realize my kidney problems in the first place. Help? Hopefully this makes sense and I've explained it well enough, hope to hear from someone soon on it.
1091563 tn?1256911779 Take some warm sitzbaths(don’t add anything to the water) and anti inflammatory pain killers like Diclofenac or Ibuprofen if there is any pain. If the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist as antibiotics may be needed. Also investigations to rule out gonococcal urethritis may be needed. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
1165078 tn?1338655745 I've been on Keppra for over 3 yrs now, other than gain weight as soon as I was put on the drug, I've had numerous UTI's and kidney infec. as well as Kidney stones, I reduced my dosage by half (1000mg/day down to 500mg/day) over a period of 4 months last yr, still szr free, and blood levels come back with in therapeutic range (something my Neuro can't quite explain yet isn't making me go back up to the 1000mg/day). But I'm having more kidney issues.. am I alone on this?
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.
681148 tn?1437661591 but Shanna707 and I were just talking about Diclofenac. I have had trouble too with a lot of NSAIDs and stomach upset and Diclofenac seems to be one I can tolerate and it really helps my shoulder pain. If that isn't an option, you could get a steroid shot? I have a couple of other tips: use a roller ball mouse for your computer so you are not moving your arm. You just move your thumb. It takes about a day or two to get used to, but it helps a lot.
Avatar n tn Hi good people, My niece has a problem for the past one week of waking up when the lips and eye lids (similar to eye bags) are swollen and when she takes cetrizine and diclofenac,the inflammation goes away. She is 29 years and tells me she had the same problem about 10 years ago and cleared .
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been diagnosed with several unobstructive kidney stones on my left side. I have no fever...I went to the er and a ct scan showed a 3 cm cyst on my left ovary in addition to revealing the stones (right kidney). I am bloated and aching, and my back and entire abdomen hurts. It's been over a week and half...I am on an antibiotic as well as percocet as it is the only drug that takes the edge off. My question is, how much longer will it take for the stones to pass?
18663 tn?1198171815 Hello Jack, This is a very good question. There are many medications that are ototoxic to our ears causing hearing loss and tinnitus, some have permanent effects while others have side effects only while taking the medication. On your particular list, Asprin stands out the most. Asprin does cause hearing los & tinnitus as do most of the NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).
1204528 tn?1588786333 You are correct. The usual interactions suggest a decrease in levels of the other drugs taken with carbamazepine. Try searching for 'carbamazepine metabolism' and 'diclofenac metabolism'. It shows that both meds are metabolized by CYP3A4. Diclofenac may decrease levels of CYPA4 (search 'diclofenac inactivation CYP3A4); this could potentially lead to increased levels of carbamazepine.
