Drugs on RSD Alert
(notes and comments from correspondents) |
Nurofen |
|
Description |
Non-narcotic anti-inflammatory, used to treat pain from musculo-skeletal disorders such as rheumatism. It is also sometimes used to treat menstrual pain. Because of its relatively low anti-inflammatory properties it is often used in high dosage. A proprietary form of Ibuprofen. |
Side effects(Don't be unduly alarmed. All drugs cause side effects for some patients) |
Nausea and gastrointestinal disturbance (these effects may be reduced if the drug is taken with, or immediately after, meals). Dizziness, tinnitus, headache and (sometimes) fluid retention and sensitivity reactions or blood disorders. |
Warnings(These are standard cautions but may not apply in your case) |
Use with caution if the patient has gastric ulcers, impaired kidney or liver function, or severe allergies. |
