I posted the other day about the anti-inflammatory suppository Diclofenac. The 100 mg. pills for this med tear my stomach up. My neighbor gave me some Diclofenac suppositories from overseas and they work for low back and leg pain to the point you don't need a pain pill; they seem to last from 8-10 hours. Now you can't take these for very long but when the pain is mind bending and you want to jump off a bridge instead of live, this will provide some very good relief.

I did some checking and found out that they are not available through a regular pharmacy and insurance won't cover them.

But, they can be compounded and are very affordable irregardless of insurance. I found a compounding pharmacy close by and they will make 30 of them for $40! What a steal!!!!!!!!! You have to have an rx as usual.

I believe they are available through normal pharmacies in Canada and the UK, I'm sure there are other countries too.

I'm going to get my dr. write a rx for them soon.


Thanks,

G
