I found my wife was about to take two of these, but there is no pill in our medical case like these hence no other information. She was very cagey in saying where she got them other than they were for a headache. She did not get these from a doctor. She has like a fainting where she sits and appears to pass out, very worrying. What would these pills be prescribed for? ## Hello, Bill! How are you? These are 75mg Difene capsules, they contain the active ingredient Diclofenac in a modified release formulation, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can these be taken in conjunction with Paracetamol Tablets? ## Difene contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Since Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is also an anti-inflammatory, NO, they should not be used together. It would be doubling up on the same type of medication and can be dangerous. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation.

Will this help a face piercing that just started to swell out of nowhere and I noticed a little puss starting? ## Hello, Izzy! How are you? Yes, it can be prescribed for that, it is just a broad spectrum antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Have you been cleaning the piercing as instructed? How old is the piercing? ## It is over 6 months. I never had any issues with it until just 2 days ago. 2 weeks ago I had the top part changed from the original piercing because the starter is huge and now is about half that size.

It is Saturday night and My female K-9 has uncontrolled urination and last time this occurred about a year ago the Vet prescribed Cephalexin 500mg. I have Rx of AMOX-CLAV875 125MG, can I use this in place of the Cephalexin until I can get her to the Vet on Monday? ## Hi Zoie, Sorry to hear about the urinary incontinence. I hope your canine is doing better today. According to NIH, there was a time when amoxicillin was once routinely used to treat UTI's and bladder infections. However, due to strain resistance and higher recurrence rates than other available treatment options, amoxicillin is no longer the recommended first line treatment. On the other hand further reports suggest that it may still be used in cases where there is documented urine culture susceptibility. Source: ncbi.nl...

Amox clav was prescribed for the treatment of my sinus and clogged nose. After the second day I got better but it brought out a pimple like boil on my forehead, and it hurts when touched. Is this normal? Can this medication be used for the treatment of sti's? Also, can I drink moderate alcohol while using this medicine? ## Hello, Maxvinz! How are you? No, it is most likely just a pimple, they happen sometimes. As to using it to treat STI's, that depends on which STI is being treated, some require different antibiotics and some cannot be cured. Drinking alcohol, while taking it, may worsen the side effects, according to the FDA, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness than usual, thus it would be best to avoid it.

My doctor prescribed me this because I might have a tear in my meniscus. Diclofenac 75mg -2 times a day. My question is do I have to space it out by exactly 12 hours ? Or is it just a general idea? How serious would it be if I took it 8-9 hours later instead? Like say I was on my way to bed but messed up my morning dose time . Do I wait until the next morning ? ## Hello Kris, I hope you are having a wonderful day. First I want to ask exactly what the instructions on your medication states. If it says to administer your medication twice a day but does not specify a time frame then you may be able to take it 8-9 hours apart. If it does say specifically on the administration medication that you should take them 12 hours apart I would suggest doing so, or at least as close to that time fram...

i am taking 75mg of diclofenac twice a day. How safe is this drug. the internet says it is the most dangerous of all nsaids. Is this true at this dosage? ## Hi Roger, From what I could gather, the usual adult dose of Diclofenac ranges from 25-50 mg orally 3 to 4 times a day or 75 mg orally twice a day. Diclofenac Extended-release dosages are usually administered at 100 mg orally once a day. A number of webpages also make a point of mentioning that the maximum daily dose of Diclofenac is: 225 mg; or 200 mg if you're taking the extended release version. In my opinion, 75mg twice daily (150 mg total daily dose) should be fine for most individuals. However, dangerous side effects can happen with any drug depending the person. It's probably not something you'd want to take long t...
