Re: Instructions for Getting Tylenol Compounded

[Guest guest]

,If you haven't already, phone the compounding pharmacy that you have chosen to use and ask them what kind of capsule they use (gelatin are good and should be SCD legal) and if you can have the tylenol compounded without the use of fillers. Sometimes fillers are needed to help with absorption rates, or other things, and sometimes they aren't necessary at all. The pharmacy would know this though. Also, I recommend you ask them how they need to see the prescription written. This should help eliminate problems before hand. Oh, and maybe Marilyn can chime in, but bromelain and arnica really help with inflammation. She has had lots of surgery and such, and she would be a good person to ask for advice on foods and recovery/pain

management.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mg To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Wed, February 3, 2010 1:18:18 AMSubject: Instructions for Getting Tylenol Compounded

I will be having two wisdom teeth extracted and desperately need advice on

getting Tylenol compounded. What fillers are okay? What should I ask my Dentist

to specify.

Many thanks,

My dentist wrote the prescription for acetaminophen, 500 mg. The

compounding pharmacy was able to do it with gelatin capsules, and just

acetaminophen, no fillers.

Find a legal bromelain supplement (I'm currently looking for a

replacement for my VItamin Shoppe brand because they started putting

maltodextrin in it, and I didn't notice... grrr....). Bromelain is really

good for inflammation. (Interestingly, if taken on an empty stomach, it

works on inflammation. If taken with food, it acts as a digestive

enzyme.

Homeopathic arnica is also helpful for pain. The pellets do contain a

small amount of lactose, though. One homeopath of my acquaintance said to

dissolve 7-8 pellets (the usual dose) in a half cup of water, and take

1-2 tablespoons of that. She says it makes it stronger to dilute it (I

don't pretend to understand homeopathy!) and that way, you also get less

lactose. All I can say is that it appears to work!

What I do know is that between the bromelain and the arnica, I shocked

the socks off my surgeon by the minimal amount of morphine I needed after

major abdominal surgery for uterine cancer. (Ran into trouble later

because I forgot to ask about oral pain meds and their composition, and

the sugars in them gave me vicious gut cramps that were worse than the

surgical pain! Kudoes to you for thinking of this in advance!)
