Diurex

I just took a Diurex and a mobic within minutes of each other...is this a problem? ## Diurex actually contains Pamabrom, which is claimed to be a diuretic to help with bloating. Mobic contains the active ingredient Meloxicam and is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, since Diurex is actually an over the counter supplement and not a prescription medication, its interactions with prescription medications has not been studied, nor has its side effects. You could try asking your doctor or pharmacist if they have any information. Did you have any other questions?

I just took a Diurex and a mobic within minutes of each other...is this a problem? ## My mother takes mobic on a periodic basis. She has also begun to take magnesium supplements in hopes of relieving muscle cramps. Should we be worried about a drug interaction? ## I didn't find any interactions, or warnings listed, but it is always best to double check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure, since they may be aware of information that hasn't been listed in the databases, yet. Mobic contains the active ingredient Meloxicam, it's a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. Are you on any other...

oval aqua blue shape with ALVA on one side and the number 1 on the other side ## this is Diurex, a bloat relief pill, often used for weight loss. It is the caffeine free version and contains ONLY Pamabrom 50mg. ## This identification is correct. Pamabrom is a diuretic that's available in several over the counter products to treat the bloating that's often associated with PMS. Anyone that has any medical conditions and/or takes any medications regularly should check before taking this to make sure it is safe for them, since it may interact with some medications or be contraindicated with some medical conditions. Additionally, since it is a diuretic that removes fluid from the body, there is the risk of dehydration. Is there anything I can help with? There are more Pamabrom detai...

Has blue clear band around middle and has markings ALVA and inside are blue and white and yellow beads ## This sounds like it may be Alva's product called Diurex, which is an over the counter product used to remove excess fluid from the body. Diuretic details here. They use that marking on all of their products though, so I am not certain that's what it is. They actually have two different version of their Diurex, one that uses caffeine and one that doesn't, though I can't find specific details on what it does use. Where was it found?

It is a clear capsule with white, yellow and turqouise blue beads in it....the name Alva is on the side in red. ## what is this medicine for? ## From what I've been able to find, this is a Diurex capsule that contains 50mgs of Pamabrom, it's a diuretic that's available over the counter and is most commonly used to relieve the bloating caused by fluid retention due to PMS and menstruation. You can learn more Pamabrom details here. Side effects may include nausea, headache and dehydration. Are there any other questions or comments?

reviews on diurex, how long does it take to work

My urine showed I had blood in it. The only thing new I have took is over the counter diurex. It also turned my urine green. I think the green color gave me a false positive for blood. Is that possible or is there really blood in my urine? ## I recently had to do a urinalysis for my PO and I failed. I was on my monthly period most of us women have to deal with. I took diurex pills for cramping, bloating, etc... My PO was aware of the other meds I was on but this I didn't think to tell her about...so is it possible this diurex caused a false positive? Please help. I'm looking at jail time...

I failed for Phenobarbital-60mg and the only drugs I had taken were Diurex-a water caplet,Mucinex D-600mg Guaifensin and 60mg Pseudoephedrine Extended Release Bi Layer Tablet,Ibuprofen-800 mg,and Acetaminophen-500mg.Truthfully I have never taken anything like this before never have I even heard of this drug till now.So if there is anyone out there that can help me it would be very appreciative.Thanks and it might also keep me out of jail so please help. ## I was researching ways in which you may be able to dispute a false positive and I came up on the following information: "There is specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, which has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. This type of testing is not initially performed becaus...
