Is this gel safe to use on sore muscles and pain from arthritis? ## Hello, Jan! How are you? I can't find any information on the gel, but if it contains a steroid like the tablets do, then no, you shouldn't use it without your doctor's approval. Steroids can cause some dangerous side effects and may be contraindicated with some medical conditions and other medications, especially high blood pressure or heart disease. Does it list the ingredients?

My mother and I have been using Rumoquin NF for severe pain, which we believe is arthritis.

my sister I staking rumoquin fn and shes wondering if its normal that she hasn't got her period, shes certenly not pregnant because shes tested her self for that alredy and all negative. ## From what I could gather, Rumoquin contains Methocarbamol (a msucle relaxant), Dexamethasone (a corticosteroid) and Diclofenac (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory). After taking a look at the side effects for each ingredient, I get the feeling Dexamethasone is the culprit here. It lists "irregular or absent menstrual periods" under general side effects. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682792.html#side-effects I hope this info helps! :)

Is it possible to import Rumoquin from outside the United States? I think it's over the counter, just not out here. Worked really great for me when I needed it during a trip. I just wonder if customs allows you to bring back medication for personal use? ## Hello, Mere! How are you? If you are taking something, or it is prescribed for you, while visiting another country, you can bring back up to a 3 month supply with you. However, since the FDA doesn't like these combinations, so it's not approved here, you wouldn't be able to just import it or anything. It is listed as containing the NSAID Diclofenac; the steroid Dexamethasone and the muscle relaxant Methocarbamol. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, acne...

I got the pills from a friend, she shared with me her supply. Where can I get them for me? ## Rumoquin contains the active ingredients Dexamethasone and Methocarbamol. This combines a steroid with a muscle relaxant to treat pain and swelling. As to where you can order it, I am not certain. Have you tried just doing an interent search? As to delivering it to the states, it is possible, however, since these medications are available in the U.S., thought not in a combine form, it is actually illegal to do so. They only permit the importation of medications that do not have an equivelent available here. Side effects to using this can include: nausea, dizziness, weight gain and drowsiness. Are there any other comments and questions?

Is it okay to take Rumiqoun N.F. If you have glaucoma? ## Rumoquin NF contains Dexamethasone, Methocarbamol, and Pheylbutazone. The Dexamethasone is a steroid class medication, and it has been known to cause glaucoma in some people, since one of its side effects is increased ocular pressure, according to FDA reports. However, it can be taken by someone with glaucoma, if their doctor approves, and is monitoring them regularly, in which case the lowest possible effective dose should be used. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, sedation, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother is a diabetic 2 can she take Rumoquin for the swelling of her hands? ## Hello, Mari! How is your mother doing? I'd not recommend it. Rumoquin is a medication from Mexico and the FDA lists one of the ingredients as being the steroid Dexamethasone, which can elevate blood sugar levels, so it may not be safe for a diabetic to take. The other listed ingredients are the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory Diclofenac and the muscle relaxant Methocarbamol. Typical side effects may also include nausea, dizziness, weight gain, acne, dry mouth and headache. it would be safest for her to see her doctor and have them prescribe something. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I take Rumoquin-N.F. & Lisinop/HCTZ Tab 20-12.5 together at the same time? ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions that apply to Rumoquin N.F. (dexamethasone + methocarbamol + phenylbutazone) & Lisinopril. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Dexamethasone may reduce the effects of lisinopril in lowering blood pressure. The interaction is most likely to occur when dexamethasone is used for more than a week, since prolonged use can cause sodium and water retention. Let your doctor know if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain or swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications." "Lisinopril and methocarbamol may ...

I am taking Rumoquin arthritis med which has Dextametasona and Metacarbonal. arthritis pain is gone yet..I am experiencing jittery-ness and grogginess. what are the side effects to this med and these ingredients? ## Well, the Dexamethasone is a steroid class medication, so it can cause you to feel jittery.

Rumoquin NF has been a dream product for my joint pain , problems aside ( weight gain , finding it ) is there a generic brand that I can find online, and where? Or better yet, the alternative product that does not cause weight gain ! ## The ingredient in it that is likely causing the weight gain is the Dexamethasone, which is a steroid class medication. Learn more Dexamethasone details here. Long term use of these can cause some pretty severe side effects in some people, so you should consult your doctor to have yourself checked out to be safe. And that is also why it isn't available in the U.S., the FDA would never approve such a medication combination….but is also most likely why it's helped so much with your joint pain. How long have you been taking it?

why did they change tablets,where there harful?? ## From the limited information I can find, I am still seeing it listed as containing: 100mgs of Phenylbutazone (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory): 200mgs of Methocarbamol (a muscle relaxant): and Dexamethasone (a corticosteroid): As to if it changed or why, I really do not have that information.

Does anyone else have information about the ingredient change? ## I need Knee surgery for a torn meniscus. can the runoquin-n-f drug cause long term side effects
