A few years ago my my doctor prescribed Indomethacin for pain, but u made me loopy and soon after I got the worst migraine! It was my first one and it was crippling. My doc said that isn't a usual side effect. So then he put me on Allopurinol, but I started getting a rash about a week after so I stopped using. Now I'm going to take a test to see if Probenecid will work better....
So my two questions are...
#1 Has anyone ever had a miagrane or have you heard of someone having a miagrane do to Indomathacin?? Because I am currently starting my second attack in two weeks. I am getting desperate.
#2 Has anyone used or is anyone using Probenecid??
Not using it and never had but seems headache is a side effect.
What should I watch for while using this medicine?
Tell your doctor or health care professional if your pain does not get better. Talk to your doctor before taking another medicine for pain. Do not treat yourself.
This medicine does not prevent heart attack or stroke. In fact, this medicine may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke. The chance may increase with longer use of this medicine and in people who have heart disease. If you take aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke, talk with your doctor or health care professional.
Do not take medicines such as ibuprofen and naproxen with this medicine. Side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, or ulcers may be more likely to occur. Many medicines available without a prescription should not be taken with this medicine.
This medicine can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines at any time during treatment. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. These increase irritation to your stomach and can make it more susceptible to damage from this medicine. Ulcers and bleeding can happen without warning symptoms and can cause death.
You may get drowsy or dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how this medicine affects you. Do not stand or sit up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells.
This medicine can cause you to bleed more easily. Try to avoid damage to your teeth and gums when you brush or floss your teeth.
