Where in Mexico do you get artridol? I’ve been trying to find a source. Thanks for any help you can provide.

How much Artridol gel do I apply and how often? I have a pulled groin muscle and I have a tube of Artridol Gel that I may have used the last time this happened, but I don’t remember how much.

the drugs in Artridol are all found in the US and USDA approved so there is no danger there. The danger is long-term use of it. betamethasone is a steroid and the 0.75 mg/pill in the Artridol is equal to 5 mg of prednisone. long-term use of steroids will cause osteopenia or osteoporosis so make sure you're taking calcium+D and you really should be under a doctors care getting a BMP every 3 months or so checking your kidney and LFTs.

i'm amazed at how wonderfully (bursitis for me) this drug works but instead of q.8 i take it q.24 and only for a short course.

again, if you're longterming this put yourself under a doctors care and make sure you taper off the drug (to avoid adrenal insufficiency) and don't cold turkey it.

Took artridol for 5 months I have severe pain on my hands, feet and pretty much all over my joints and your right it makes the pains to go away but if you decide to stop taking it consult with your Dr. It can't be stop suddenly you will be in the worst pain ever. I stop taking it 2 months ago and I still in pain. This medicine can eventually kill you because of the steroids. It has too many dangerous side affects Google it and find out.

In Mexico, reinjured my lower back (old L5 popped disc injury) after Salsa lesson. I felt the disc pop out again. Was taking Nabumetone as Rxed by my US Dr, only take it after a reinjury, not daily. The Mexican Dr gave me Artidol, Rxed one capsule every 8 hrs for 3-5 days. Told him I have a history of depression and hypertension.

I found immediate relief from the Arditrol, but it really upsets my stomach and makes me nauseous throughout the day, so stopped taking it after day 2. I will take therest of the capsules home with me to the US and tell me US Dr about the pills, and make take 1-2 Arditrol caps in the US ONLY IF I really need it and the US Dr cannot offer me something better.

IT COMES OPUT OF MEXICO, NOT USDA APPROVED. I HAVE USED IT SPARINGLY FOR 10 YEARS; IT IS MIRACLE SHORT TERM RELIEF FOR ARTHRITIS PAIN. MY PA SAYS I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO TAKE TOO MUCH. I TRY TO TAKE 1 TABLET WEEKLY; I COULD TUSE MORE BUT DON'T WANT TO PUSH MY LUCK.

The stomach irritation is most likely the indomethacin. artridol has 2mg which is half the dose of prescription indocin in the USA. Always take with food and 16 ounces of water.

I was given a prescription for ARTRIDOL, two years ago in La Paz, for severe knee pain. It worked instantly and I was back walking the length of the Malecon in two
Days.
However, the real breakthrough for me was when returning to San Francisco, and the cold and damp, I noticed that ARTRIDOL significantly relieved my asthma symptoms. My asthma can keep me in bed for days, especially during storms.But one tablet relaxes my diaphragm and I am able to function and be active.
I am sixty seven, so I plan to continue the use of this life saver.
Read the contraindications and only take a pill when the
Pain returns or the asthma begins to choke me up.
And yes, it does increase your appetite. Keep apples and pears nearby to avoid weight gain.

God Bless Mejico!

I have been taking Artridol for over 15 years. I have tried prescription drugs and nothing touches the Artrithis paid that I have except Artridol. I haven't noticed any side affects from taking this except for my arms being easier bruised than before and I have a problem from time to time holding my pepe. I am 67 almost 68 years old and I was taking one pill a day and after the pain went away of started cutting back the dosage to one every other day and then I would stay off of them for a week and then go back to every other day. I now only take 3 in a 7day period and I still have the relief I need to do the things I need to do. I will soon cut back to two a week and I think that will still give me what I need without overloading my body with steriods. I am like the man that said that he would rather live a shorter time and have a more productive life. I am having trouble getting the Artrodol anymore because I live in the Austin area and I am having trouble finding people that go to Mexico from time to time that can get these for me. Can someone tell me another way to buy these?

I broke my ankle a little over a year ago and I was recommended Artridol by a doctor in Mexico... I understand that it could cause kidney damage, but sometimes the pain is greater than what I can bear so I take 1 every day and I am able to continue with my daily things... ;)

Artridol is for joint pain and can be purchased online at medsmex for $77 for 40 capsules. Doosage is 1 capsule per day with food. If you can get to Mexico it is much cheaper there, I last bought it in Mexico in 2003 and since buy it from medsmex. Bringing large quantities (10 boxes of 40) through customs was no problem. All steroid meds have bad side effects, so each person needs to determine their own quality of life vs side effects. I would only recomend Artridol to people who have tried all the other joint pain remedies without adequate sucess.
I can say it gave me great relief for more than 10 years.

My mother has been taking this pill for more than 20 years. She took it like candy, 2-3 pills a day, and without her doctors knowledge. She ended up in the hospital and did not have access to her artridol. She couldn't walk and was in more pain than what she had before ever taking the pill. Her body went through withdrawls. Thats when we found out what this pill can do. Her doctor has her on 3 pills a week but that was all he was able to wean her body down to. She had red blotches all over her arms and it causes catoracts in the eyes. If you end up needing surgery, this pill may complicate things because it thins the blood and makes healing difficult. This pill was never meant to be taken long term.

I started taking Rumoquin (generic version of Artridol) about a year and 1/2 ago. it is truly a miracle drug as it relieved the arthritis pain in my hands and significantly in my knees (i am 67). i play guitar professionally and could not make a fist with my left hand, yet alone play chords, etc.. unfortunately, it does increase your appetite and makes me swell up to a puffy stage.. i understand that is a result of the steroids involved.. one has to ask themself about 'quality of life vs. pain and damage' i would like to find out if anyone else experiences the swelling.. any info would be greatly appreciated (Rumoquin is very reasonably priced in Mexico) we winter in the yuma arizona area so access is very easy.. thanks

I took Artridol for lower back pain for for almost a month and they completely stopped the pain. I now only take a couple when my pain flares up. Maybe every three months or so.
