A Med not available in USA | Arthritis Information

Or...do YOU use it?? Forgive me for sounding neurotic but Im seriously interested in why none of you here seem to have it prescribed/available. Is it because our Specialists know better than yours?? lololol

Anyways, I did not like some of what I read, plus, I had asked the pharmacist last visit to make sure none of my meds contraindicated each other in any way. Well, I am on a diuretic which is a no no with Tenoxicam according to this link.

So, I think I will cut my dose to 10mgs a day and see where I go.

Dammit that I had not read that before my visit to RD today! Grrrrr.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Lyn it may be Mobiflex?? in the US?

I see online that you can get it in the US...maybe it's not a big med pushed by the company reps???

Just an NSAID.. *shrug*

didn't look any worse than any of the other NSAIDs....

does it work for you, Lyndee?

ETA: finding out that there is a problem between the med and your BP med/diuretic.. would warrant a call to the RD, IMO

babs102008-08-22 05:31:27Just an NSAID, but contra indications for people with inflammatory diseases. Be careful! Joe there was nothing listed about it being contra indicated for people with inflammatory disease. Wouldn't it be counter productive to produce an anti inflammatory you couldn't use to treat inflammatory disease with though like most NSAIDS should not be used with Inflammatory bowel disease

Tilcotil is contraindicated in patients

active, or history of recurrent peptic ulcer/haemorrhage (two or more distinct episodes of proven ulceration or bleeding)

Tilcotil injection is contraindicated in patients taking anticoagulants or on intensive diuretic therapy, as with other parenteral NSAIDs
