Anti - inflammetaries

Posted by Nickie on 20/4/2012, 11:12:21

I have been told by my specialist that i should not take these with asacol but my doctor has prescribed them for joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Does anyone know why its not good to take anti inflammetary with asacol.
Do you feel i should take them anyway and see what happens ??
Thanks in advance.

Does your G.P. know you're on Asacol Nickie? I ask this because Asacol is an anti-inflammatory so I would have thought (and I'm only guessing here, I'm no expert) that there would be no benefit in taking two different types of what is potentially the same thing!! (does that make sense? lol)
I personally would go with your specialist on this one Nickie. Though I'd like to hear what others peeps think.

Yes he does know i am on Asacol because i questioned him over whether they could be taken together. You are correct Asacol is an anti inflammatory, i just re read the leaflet lol. I was told i couldn't take anti inflammatories so now am even more confused lol. However it say's on the tablets i have been given to take them with caution so am going to give them a go for a few days and see what happends as they are also a very good painkiller lol.
Thank you O.C

They seem to be working but tummy not keen, will give it a few more days and see what transpires.
Not been taking full dose to be on the safe side though.

I'm with OC and sorry I am too lazy to look up the effects of either in my BNF but your specialist is the person I would trust. Most GPs are SHIT and I am absolutely cofident in that statement. Hope this has been resolved since you posted
