Re: Anyone here take Voltarin? NONE TO CAUSE UPSETS IN SOME

March 15, 2008

HI GRETCHEN- JUST WANT TO PASS ON MY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND OTHER SIMILIAR. I

WAS ON THIS HAD TO STOP IT FOR STOMACH UPSETS, I CAN NOT TAKE ALOT OF MED'S DUE

TO THIS, BUT WILL LET YOU KNOW MY GASTRO. DR. TOLD ME HE HATES THAT ANTI INFLAMS

EVEN EXSIST, HE SAYS THEY ARE NOT A GOOD DRUG AT ALL FOR THE DIGESTIVE TRACT AND

ANYONE WITH PROBLEMS LIKE ME HYATIL HERNIA, GERD AND PRIOR ULCER, WHICH THIS ALL

RUNS IN MY FAMILY, BUT HE SAID, WHEN I WAS PUT ON THESE I HAD TRIED SEVERAL TO

STOP THEM, AS MY STOMACH ALSO WAS INSTANT UPSET, PAIN ETC WHEN TAKEN. HE WOULD

RATHER SEE THAT I AM ON THE PAIN MED. THEN THESE TYPE OF DRUGS, OF COURSE

IDEALLY HE THINKS THE BEST IS NONE AS THESE ARE HARD ON IT TO, BUT THEY DON'T

LET ME KNOW IT AT LEAST EXCEPT ONCE IN AWHILE WHEN HAVE HAD TO INCREASE AT

TIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE PRILOSEC X3 A DAY WHICH IS A LOT, AND REMEMBER TO EAT

SOMETHING FIRST. HOPE THIS HELPS. TAKE CARE AND HOPE YOU LIGHTER DAYS.

Voltarin, and my stomach wrenchs

constantly! I have to go to the bathroom at least 10 times a day and

most times still can't go! PCP put me on zantac for my stomach while

taking the Voltarin, but seems to make me worse. I have not taken my

dose this morning and might not take it tonight either..Is this commen

with all NSAIDS? or just Voltarin? Any input appriciated, Gretchen
