Zipsor and Gas Pains
I've been prescribed Zipsor for spinal stenosis - and have taken one after lunch the last two days. By evening I have such intermittent heartburn and abdominal pain from gas. Finally looked up the side effects and who would think that gas would be a side effect. I want to keep taking the pills as they help but the gas pains are awful and the heartburn too. I rarely have heartburn so its too coincidental that it happens after the Zipsor. Any ideas on how I can still taking it and avoid these side effects? ## Zipsor contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and all medications in this class can cause these types of excess stomach acid issues. Have you consulted your doctor? It may be necessary to use something to reduce the amount of acid and...
