What is the compound DICL/GABA/LIDO/PRIL? ## As you mentioned, this sounds like a compounded medication. Based on the abbreviations, the active ingredients are most likely: DICLOFENAC - A nonsteroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) / pain reliever GABAPENTIN - A medication which can be used to treat neuropathic pain LIDOCAINE - A local anesthetic used to numb tissue in a specific area PRILOCAINE - Also a local anesthetic, often combined with Lidocaine So, it seems like it would be a topical medication, is that correct? May I ask what this was prescribed for, and whether it has been effective? ## I put the cream on my ankle and noticed a tightening of the skin ever since I started using it. The soles of my feet also feel really tight. Are these known side effects? ## SEEKING A COMPOUND SALVE ...

I just want to know what happens if u take Diclofenaco (Diclofenac) pills with Complejo-b (Vitamin B Complex) everyday. What are the secondary effects of this medication combination? ## Both can cause some nausea, according to NIH reports. The Diclofenac may also cause headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach ulceration. Has your doctor instructed you to take them both? Are you on any other medications? Generally, the FDA warns that it best not to take Diclofenac on an empty stomach. ## i have a pain in my shoulder and getting a stiff neck and the doctor told me it was ok to take them together but for me not to take any other meds with this medication. ## CAN YOU TAKE DICLOFENACO AND TYLENOL AT THE SAME TIME?

I'm having pain from a recent excess in physical exertion. Flamar was recommended but the pharmacist gave us Auroflam. Is it a substitute for Flamar? ## Hello, Sorry to hear about your challenges with pain. Do you feel like the Auroflam has been helping at all? Based on my research, Auroflam-MX and Flamar are both listed as containing the active ingredient Diclofenac. So it seems as though they are one in the same medication. If you need any form of verification, Auroflam-MX is manufactured by Aurochem Pharmaceuticals Ltd., based in India. You can always contact them for a comparison of "inactive" ingredients, if you feel the need. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Diclofenac Details I hope this info helps! ## Flamar MX is effective every time and is re...

I purchased diclofenac sodium & codeine phosphate tablets 50mg, but I cant find any images to identify it as such. It came in a foiled back pop out sleeve of 10. It's a light peach or pink color with a score on one side and nothing on the other. It also says Duranzo on it. My vision is not so good so i cant make out the pharmaceutical co. Can you help me please? ## Hello, Mini! How are you? This combination isn't available in the U.S., it is a foreign medication from India. Duranzo is listed as containing Diclofenac and Codeine, but since foreign medications aren't regulated like U.S. prescription drugs, there's no way to confirm that's what you've received. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit formin...

My friend says that this medicine is for curing headaches... But as i read its uses, head aches is one of the side effects of taking this medicine... Which is true? ## Hi, Jan! As odd as it may seem, both are actually true. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and while these medications do successfully treat headaches in some people, there is also a chance that they could cause headaches in some people as a side effect. This is actually much more common with medications than one would expect. For instance, antidepressants can cause depression in some people that take them. Learn more Diclofenac details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does anyone know where I can find Diclofenac Potassium? Diclofenac Sodium does not work. Live in Arizona and willing to travel ...

Are there limitations and interactions between diclofenac and doxycycline? ## I did not find any interactions listed between Diclofenac and Doxycycline [1]. It is reported, however, that there is a severe interaction between Diclofenac Sodium and alcohol "... ingestion of ethanol with NSAIDs increases the risk of developing gastric irritation and GI mucosal bleeding. Ethanol is a mucosal irritant and NSAIDs decrease platelet aggregation. Routine ingestion of ethanol and NSAIDs can cause significant GI bleeding, which may or may not be overt."

I have osteoarthritis and the only drug which provides some relief is diclofenac which I get on prescription. The last two months the chemist has said there are production problems and it is unavailable. This is a disaster for me. Has anyone else had this problem? ## It is only today that I started having problems. It seems to be due to suppliers having difficulty obtaining supplies from the manufacturer. I'm waiting now to get an alternative prescription from GP. As yet I dont know what will be prescribed in its place. ## I can’t get it either. It is the only med that cures my headaches. ## I have had migranes for over 30 years and have tried dozens of medications. Nothing has worked except Diclofenac Potassium. Now it has recently been discontinued. Humana has denied me Ajov...

Why can't this be purchased at Walmart's pharmacy? ## Hello, Mai! How are you? Those abbreviations stand for Diclofenac, Lidocaine and Pentoxifyline. This is used for topical pain relief and improvement of blood flow, but such medications are only available by prescription in the U.S. You may need to go to a compounding pharmacy to have it specially made for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including headache, skin irritation, redness, itching and rash. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If this drug was prescribed in 201+, does it expire?
