Curious if anyone had headaches while taking this. My Dr put me on this after being on Mobic. I am getting headaches - just curious as to what your Dr changed your meds to. I have pain in my hip and groin from arthritis. ## Yes! I was prescribed this same drug for my bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome until I can have surgery. I just did a google search to try and see if this is a known side effect. I'm getting some raging headaches! I think I will call my doctor and ask if there is another pain reliever I can take. ## I just got put on this for possible post thrombotic syndrom and it's giving me killer headaches. All I can find online is how it's supposed to cure them... ## The irony of NSAIDs is that while they are often used to relieve headaches, they can cause a headache a...

How does diclofenac sodium enteric-coated (ec) 75mg tab compare to a percocet 5/325? Does it work the same and is it a narcotic / opiate? ## No, Diclofenac is actually classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, it is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. So it also does not work the same. Has your doctor prescribed it for you? ## I need to know if Diclofenac Sodium Er 75 mg has Morphine in it? ## Hi Shaw - actually no, Diclofenac is its own drug completely different from Morphine. It is not even an opiate medication. Hope this helps!

What is the difference between these two pills? One is peach or tan with P 75 on it and the other is white with WPI 339 on it? ## Hi Amy, From what I could gather, Diclofenac Sod EC (enteric-coated) 75mg is a delayed release version of this drug. Please post back if you have any more questions!

can fenac ec 50mg tablets be taken in conjunction with coveram blood pressure tablets? ## What has your doctor advised? The Coveram contains Amlodipine and Perindopril and the Perindopril can cause some interactions with the Diclofenac, such as making it more potent, so your blood pressure drops lower and it can increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.

What does the sod stand for on phenytoin sod ext its a 100 mg purple and white capsule ## Why is it becoming more difficult to find xanax on The streets? ## What does SOD DR EC mean on the Diclofenac bottle? ## The SOD stands for Sodium, it designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, that's why some list sodium, some list hydrochloride and etc. As to the DR on a prescription, just like XR, SR, ER and quite a few others, it designates that medication as being time released. As to the EC, from what I've found, it's used similar to ES, DS and etc. to designate that as being an extra strength dosage, rather than the standard prescribed amount. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My perscription bottle says. Metformin 500mg Tab.**RDS WHAT ...

Dr prescribed Xartemis XR for pain in herniated discs in cervical spine. Then the following day prescribed me Diclofenac Sod EC 50mg for the same condition. I had these filled at two different pharmacys. Now my concern is are these ok to be taken together? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Where they prescribed by the same doctor? It seems rather odd to prescribe both, especially in time released formulations, though it can be done, if there are specific reasons to do so, such as a lot of swelling. Xartemis contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen in a time released formulation. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. While the Diclofenac EC is an extended release non...

Does anyone know if you can take a Lortab 10 (Watson) and Keflex 500mg (Cephalexin Cap) together? ## You can take almost anything with Keflex. You just cant take blood thinners. ## Hi my husband is taking ramipril 10mg for blood pressure. He has recently been bitten by a spider and the Dr gave him an anti inflammatory with no repeat. I have Diclofenac (Sandoz) EC 50 mg. Would it be safe to take this with ramipril to reduce the swelling he is experiencing in his foot? ## They are both often prescribed together to help treat the pain that can be caused by some bacterial infections, so it should be fine, as long as they have both been prescribed for you. The FDA warns that Lortab carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and c...
