Pain Medicine Starts With L

Back in the hospital and the doctors are having a hard time finding an IV medication that will help lessen the chest pain from my pneumonia. I wear Fentanyl 75 mcg (changed every 72 hrs). Health issues; crps/rsd, ankylosing spondylitis, Arnold Chiari Malformation, Pudenal Neuralgia, are just the top my health issues. ## Hi Loveday, I don't know how much help this will be, but I was able to find a pretty extensive list of medications starting with "P". Perhaps one of the names on there might ring a bell?: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/drug_Pa.html If anyone else can post back with more information on other possibilities that would be great!

I am going through therapy for my back and need spine surgery. I have been taking percocet for the past year now and my Dr wants to change my medication. He suggested something that starts with the letter N but didnt spell it right for me. Does anyone know of pain medication that starts with that letter. Not Naproxen, it's not an anti inflammitory ## It's supposed to be for nerves. ## Probaly Neurontin which is used to ease nerve pain. ## Or maybe Norco ## Those would be my best guesses, as well, since they are both used to treat pain, just in different ways. Neurontin is an anticonvulsant that's also been shown to help with nerve pain, it contains the active ingredient Gabapentin. And Norco contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so it's a narcoti...

Used it when I had my total knee. Two syllables, I think. Can't take most pain meds, so need to find out. ## I did see your other post and I've done more searching, but I am not finding anything that starts with a T and just has 2 syllables. I know I mentioned Tramadol before, so perhaps you had it prescribed under the brand name, which is Ultram? It's also available with Acetaminophen as Ultracet. Otherwise, some other 2 syllable choices are: Lodine, Mobic, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco and Motrin. Have you talked to your doctor, yet? I'm sure they'd have record of what they prescribed.

I was in the hospital and they gave me an injection for pain. It started with the letter g. Any ideas? ## Could it be gabapentin? Gabapentin is frequently prescribed for nerve pain, although I'm not exactly certain whether it's currently available in an intravenous dosage form. I did happen to find a clinical study on FDA.gov discussing gabapentin being taken via IV administration at the bottom of page 2 in the following link: accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020235s041.pdf Hopefully this will at least help narrow potential suspects as to what medication you're searching for. I'll be sure to post back if I can think of any other prospects that start with a 'g'. Gabapentin just happens to be one of the more common brand names on the market. ## Thanks,...

The medication is for pain. It sounds like it is Trimabean... but have not found a medication of this name... I may be pronouncing it wrong and spelling it wrong.. ## Kathryn - check out the following list: Pain Relief Medications Anything on there ring a bell? If not, can you tell me what country the product in question is from, as well as whether it is over the counter or prescription strength?

jointacedn ## Are you possibly referring to Ultram or Ultracet? Ultram contains the active ingredient Tramadol and Ultracet couples the Tramadol wth Acetaminophen. They are used to treat moderate to severe pain, including joint aches and some forms of Arthritis. Is either one of these the correct information you are looking for?

large yellowish capsule ## Are there any markings on the pill? Numbers or letters? I would need more information about the capsule, in order to locate the correct medication. Please post back so I can help you further. ## I have some medicine from a friend. It is supposed to be a painkiller. I m not so sure. The pill is white m oval shape with 2 letters mark on one side stating (TV and number 58 on the other side. ## Tv 58 is tramadol aka ultram non narcotic pain med ## Tramadol name brand (Ultram) is a narcotic, I am a nurse and we have treated hundreds of people who are addicted to Tramadol. ## Nurse Michelle: Tramadol name brand (Ultram) is not a narcotic.

pain med starts with the letter a and is mild dont have the harsh side effects as other pain meds do ## Do you have any other information on it, such as it's classification? Is it a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, are narcotic, a Cox-2 Inhibitor? That would really help to narrow it down. ## New pain medicine that is in same class as Ultram. It is under lock and key at pharmacy. It is a type of 'agonist' med? I learned of it in Chronic pain management clinic. Forgot it's name.

this pills shape is like a rectangle that has rounded edges. its white. and its name either starts with an o or a b. its a form of a weaker lortab. it was perscribed for my friends back pain, what is the name? ## Are you possibly thinking of Opana? You can learn more Opana details here. However, it's really not weaker than Lortab, it's actually a very potent narcotic. These medications have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. ## Opana more like oxycontin or dialudid than lortab!!

dan ## Well, there are several, including the narcotic Dilaudid. Do you know if the information you are seeking is on a narcotic, anti-inflammatory or other type? ## Dan, go to the page Drug Categories, then to Pain Relief, and if you scroll down it will list the medications fitting in that category alphabetically. Just scroll down to the D's and you will see there are a few listed. Hope this helps!

blue oval 755/93 ## It doesn't start with an F, but it does have an F in the name. This tablet contains 500mgs of Diflunisal, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. The trade name for it is Dolobid. Learn more Dolobid details here. Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, gas and irregular heart beat. Is there anything else I can help with?

I believe it is a herb. Made from the bark of a tree. ## Are you looking for the name of an actual prescription drug, or is it a supplement that's available over the counter? There's nothing that's ringing a bell for me, at the moment, but if you can post back with more specifics, then I'll know where to look to see what information I can find for you.

Mom has been seeing an asvertisement on tv of a pain reliever that begin's with letter ''M'', but she can not remember what it is. It must be something new maybe, that's on the market. Thank you for any info you can supply of this please. Dave ## I'm not really sure, there are a few on the market that start with an M. Does she remember if it was prescription or over the counter? I'm really not one that pays any attention to commercials. Does she remember if it was recommended for any specific conditions? You can try glancing through our drug index of those that start with an M and see if any ring a bell for her:

the queen used it while delivering her eigth child ## Actually, that is a myth. At the time there was a debate going on between doctors who thought it was okay to use pain medication during child birth and those who did not. Thus, the store was told and perpetuated, to try to encourage people to use it and believe it was safe, however, the store was not actually true. That said, whether or not the queen did get any medication is something this site does not know. The thing most commonly used back then did not begin with a C, anyway, it was actually Ether. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## pain med that strat with letter c ## I recently had a migraine headache and the ER doctor gave me a shot of something beginning with "C" or maybe "K'.........any ideas

the drug im looking up i actually got in a shot at the hospital when i was pregnant with my son. i cant remember the name of it because they told me the name AFTER they gave it to me and i was totally out of it. but i know it starts with an N ## nalbuphine hydrochloride < thats the name of it. i found it all by myself lol. ## If it was for pain it was probably Nubaine. It's sometimes used in birthing centers for pain as well and doesn't pose a danger to the fetus (well, not as opposed to some of the others...) ## Way to go! It is sometimes hard to remember what many of these are called. My husband just had surgery and it was hard for me to keep straight what medications he was given. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as...

My son just called me from the hospital. He said they're giving him narcotic pain medication through his IV that starts with the letter B. ## It could possibly be Buprenorphine, it is an opiate that is also used to treat drug addiction, but helps with pain for some people. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Another possibility is Butorphanol, it carries the same risk and causes the same side effects. Can he ask them what they are giving him?

I've been suffering from chronic pain issues since 2006. I recently started going to a new clinic since January of this year. I have fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, neck issue's, spine problems that start from my neck down my upper middle and lower spine, nerve damage in my left arm that starts from my neck down my upper arm and in the hands & fingers. The pain is horrible and never goes away, this includes my entire body, along with insomnia, depression, anxiety, RA, arthritis, carpal tunnel and from time to time it causes shooting pain in my legs. Also for my anxiety I get 90 clonazep g and methacarbamol for back spasms. So far this regime seems to help but 6 dilaudid a day along with 1 30mg oxycontin and 1 kadian are barely getting me through the month. I ...
