RHEUMACIN - MEDICATION GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION Rheumacin is used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. It is also used to relieve pain from various other conditions. Rheumacin is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling and pain. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. Rheumacin may also be used to relieve pain caused by inflammation of the pouch surrounding the heart and other conditions, as prescribed by your doctor. HOW TO USE RHEUMACIN Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using Rheumacin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Rheumacin by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters). Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking Rheumacin. If stomach upset occurs while taking Rheumacin, take it with food, milk, or an antacid. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. To reduce your risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take Rheumacin at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose or use Rheumacin more often or for longer than prescribed. For ongoing conditions such as arthritis, continue taking Rheumacin as directed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor or pharmacist. In certain conditions (such as arthritis), it may take up to 4 weeks when Rheumacin is taken regularly before you notice Llegiu el document complet
