ShavieLou 0 Posted January 23, 2006 THis is something new to me that I'd never read about. Why can you not take ibuprofen? What makes extended release tabs taboo? Are they too large to go down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanahanna 1 Posted January 23, 2006 ShavieLou, you were probably reply to one of the others who have posted on this thread, but I am not allowed to take any NSAID/painreliever but Tylenol occasionally with the Methotrexate except also for the Darvocet.

Jamoorse 0 Posted January 23, 2006 i put all the pills i take in a baggie and took them to me the day of pre op and they told me which ones to crush and metformin that i took i got a prescription for liquid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nykee 13 Posted January 23, 2006 oh yeah.. I WAS percribed liquid viccodan.. a big arse bottle.. lol But it was too thick to work at all in the mornings and it was too nasty tasting to take other times... so I only used it when I went camping to stay warm in the middle of the nightif I was desperate (and able to get up off the air mattress in the morning) It actually went all crusty and nasty before it was half gone.. Plus there are these tiny little pills you can take instead of metformin.. I CANT recal the name, my doctor gave them to me for one month and then refused to again cuz of some side effects (he said, not me) that they had that metformin didnt.. oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanahanna 1 Posted January 23, 2006 Oh, so metformin comes in liquid...that is great! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamoorse 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Yes metformin does come in liquid, it might even be generic but it does; many of us are on it as we can't take those big pills anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanahanna 1 Posted January 23, 2006 That is good to know. I usually don't have problems taking pills but sometimes the chalky big ones give me a little problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamoorse 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Dr. Jay will not let you take a pill bigger than your pink nail, metformin is much bigger than that; we take flintstone chewables, gas x chewables; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
