Endocin &/or Azulphadin for Rheumatoid Arthritis? Comments?
I know someone who was cured from RA years ago. Endocin took the pain away in 2 days and after several months Azulphadin (or sp: Azulfadin) cured his disease. Anyone every hear of these medicines?
Indocin (generic name is indomethacin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces fever, pain and inflammation. Its been used for over 40 years as a anti-inflammatory. Indomethacin treats the pain, swelling and stiffness associated with arthritis, gout, bursitis or tendonitis.
It is similar to ibuprofen (Motrin) and naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), but stronger.
Indomethacin works by reducing the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that the body uses to cause fever, pain and inflammation. Indomethacin blocks the enzymes that make prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase 1 and 2) and thereby reduces the levels of prostaglandins. As a result, fever, pain and inflammation are reduced. It is vaialble in a sustained (slow) release form (Indocin-SR). .
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, heartburn, rash, headache, dizziness and drowsiness. Indomethacin may cause or worsen stomach or intestinal bleeding or ulcers. It may lead to perforation of the intestine. Indomethacin also can increase blood pressure and decrease kidney function. Individuals who have nasal polyps or are allergic to aspirin or other NSAIDs should not use indomethacin because there is an increased risk of severe allergic reactions in these individuals.
Because it can be hard on the stomach, it should be taken with food or immediately after meals to prevent stomach upset. Also consume a full glass (8 oz or 240 ml) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking this drug. Sustained release or long acting preparations must be swallowed whole.
Azulfidine (Generic name: Sulfasalazine) is an anti-inflammatory medicine, primarily prescribed for the treatment ulcerative colitis . It is also used for RA as well.
The most ommon side effects may include: abdominal pain, anemia, bluish skin, fever, headache, hives, inflammation of the mouth, itching, lack of appetite, nausea, rash, stomach distress, vomiting. Note: If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to Azulfidine, salicylates (aspirin), or other sulfa drugs, you should not take Azulfidine.
Other possible issues:
Men taking Azulfidine may experience temporary infertility and a low sperm count.
Skin and urine may become yellow-orange in color while taking Azulfidine.
In addition, prolonged exposure to the sun should be avoided.
If Azulfidine is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Azulfidine with the following:
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Folic acid (a B-complex vitamin)
Methotrexate (Rheumatrex)
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Regarding dosages for RA, the usual dose of Azulfidine EN-tabs for adults is 2 grams a day, divided into smaller doses. Your doctor may have you start with a lower dose, then raise the dosage to 3 grams after 12 weeks. For children aged 6 and older, the typical recommended daily dosage is 30 to 50 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight, up to a maximum of 2 grams, taken in 2 equally divided doses. To reduce the chance of digestive side effects and other reactions, the doctor will probably start with a fraction of the typical dose and build up to it over a period of weeks. Children under 6 should not take this medicine.
