Hi everyone,

I need some help ASAP !!!!! I start my preparation for my colonoscopy tomorrow, which is Wed. morning.

I take quite a few meds for RA and other ailemnts. I take Prednisone (trying to taper down, now on 2 one day and 1 the next). Also Tramadone (Ultram), 1, 4 x day. Skelaxin, 1, 4 x day. Nabumetone (Relafen), 1, 2 x day. And Sulfasalazin, 3, 1 x day.

Do any of yall know if I can take these tomorrow? The paper for the pre-op, says, no anti-inflammatory drugs. I think that possibly Relafen and Sulfasalazin might possibly be anti-inflammatory ???

Please tell what you know or have had experience with concerning this problem. I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Relafen is an antiinflamatory but I haven't heard of the other one. Anyways, I was told I had to stop these 5 days in advance of the colonoscopy. I would call your doctor right away to check on it.

Thanks so much for your fast reply. I will check the board in the am also.

I did not take my relafen or sulfasalazin this evening. So, it will probably be ok - hopefully... I will also look up the sulfasalazin in the am. I just know that I am going to hurt badly without those 2 drugs. I guess that I can take some tylenol along with the two - three others that I can take. And curl up in a blankie after my prep is done!!!

Thanks again for you help! :>
