Dose needs to be increased.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that your doctor has rightly prescribed the drug but may be the dose needs to be increased to 90 mg or 120 mg plus this medicine is not leading to weight gain. For ankylosing spondylitis antiinflammatories are the drug of choice but dose seems to be less . Please send your detailed history so that we can have a better understanding of the situation and guide you accordingly .

Thank you.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
