Well my MD has changed me from Vioxx to Nystatin (ins pays for Nystatin, but
not Vioxx) and I notice it warns of drowsiness, and I take it twice a day
instead of once. Vioxx gave me an amphetamine like high (or maybe just having
the stiffness and pain gone made me feel that way) far from a drowsy effect.
So are there any new precautions with this as compared to Vioxx? I'm not
supposed to be running, so I really don't want to ask my Dr (new Dr, and I want
to be spared the eye-rolls when I mention running).
Any info will be appreciated.

This sounds like a troll.
The two drugs have totally different uses. -

Vioxx I have heard is a serious panikiller (Darvon-like?), and I thought
Nystatin and the like were antifungals (e.g., for yeast infections), so I agree
that maybe Bill has the names wrong or is taking one or both of these for a
secondary reason. Bill? I would have NO idea about running while using them,
though I have run on general antibiotics without ill effect. -

You are an idiot, and know nothing about these drugs. I'm pretty sure my Dr
knew what he was doing. -
Mea Culpa. It's NAPROXEN I'm now on.

medicine cabinet. It's my teenaged daughters, she is taking it for a possible
fungal infection of her lungs, as prescribed by her allergist. So your wrong on
all counts. -

same family as ibuprofren; it is often used for pain relief and
reduction of inflammation in treating arthritis.Vioxx is a brand name; the ingredient is reflecoxib.
Darvon is a narcotic analgesic, propoxyphene, and has no
anti-inflammatory effects; Nystatin is indeed an antifungal.

Naproxen is another NSAID, one of the first developed specifically for
arthritis treatment (I sold my stock in Syntex before the product was
ready for market). IMO Vioxx is preferable, being developed much more
recently and being less apt to cause stomach or liver complications than
the older NSAIDs.Aleve is one of the brand names for naproxen; naproxen has gone generic
already. I don't know if Aleve is available OTC or not.

long-term complications yet. However I agree it worked better, but at over
$3.50 a tab it was outrageously expensive since my insurance won't cover it,
but does cover Naproxen. I liked the once a day convenience of Vioxx too.
