What is the best over-the-counter medication for osteoarthritis in the knees?
Hiramito
== == It will be one of the anti-inflammatories..ie Motrin (ibuprofen), Aleve, and the like......Tylenol doesn't have anti-inflammatory properties.
You need to read label and take as directed.There has been some warnings about not to take this class of medicine if you have Heart disease,or have had heart attacks...also if you have an history of ulcers you should avoid this class of medicine.
Taking too much Tylenol can be bad for your liver though...so if you have doubts check with your provider.

∙ 12y agoThere have over the years been many suggestions put forward to relieve the pain of artritis. there are however over a hundred different forms of the disease ranging from those caused wear and tear joint damage to inflammation brought on by the immune system to inflammation as a result of bacterial or viral infections. Taking the history of artritis into acount and the number of different treatments that have been used to treat pain I would say it is safe to assume that no effective and universal natural treatment has been developed to date, which explains why with modern medicine (granted some of them have some can have nasty side effecta) The quality of life for Arthritis sufferers has increased a thousand fold.

∙ 16y agoUnfortunately there is no cure for arthritis. There are holistic remedies that may help. Go to a Homeopathic doctor, but make sure you let your doctor know first before you take anything given to you by the Homeopathic doctor. I have arthritis in both knees, but I go to the gym and do resistant training and I walk a lot. If you don't use it you lose it.

When is the use of the medication metformin with dye contrast cat scan to be discontinued and how long?
This is a new idea in some areas so it is best to talk to your doctor as to what they recommend. Basicaly.. there is a small chance that the metformin (and other diabetic medications) could crystalize in the kidneys causing damage. The policy where I work recommends not taking the medication for 48 hours after you get the dye injection. We dont have a hold for the medication before getting the dye. If you are diabetic, ask your doctor if the medication you take has any restrictions when getting any kind of dye for a test. You may also ask the technologist doing your test, before the injection, what their policy is.
