Is It Advisable To Take Buta Proxyvon Pain Tablets For Heart Patients?

Male. Age 66, Swelling of left inguinal area and left testes. The local physician prescribed combiflam twice a day and levofloxacin 500 one tab daily for 5 days. I find I am allergic to combiflam (ibuprufen + paracetamol). My lips got swelled. I stopped combiflam but continued levofloxacin for 5 days.I got little relief. He then suggested to stop the antibiotic and use butaproxivon tablets for pain. I am a heart patient (PTCA done in 2001) and regularly taking Losar, Deplatt 75 (chlopydogrel), Crestor 20 (Rosuvastatin) and Ezetimbe 10. Under this condition, is it advisable to take butaproxivon ?. Thanks

Hi

Combiflam contains ibuprofen + paracetamol.It is essential to know whether you are allergic to both the components of the drug.

Butaproxivon contains diclofenac and paracetamol.If you are allergic to paracetamol ,then this drug should not be used.

Instead plain diclofenac can be used for pain relief. Diclofenac can be used and does not have any major drug interactions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
