Water Intake And Medicine... Posted: 06-23-04 08:50am
I am taking etodolac tabs, 400mg., for
arthritis in my hip. It was substituted
for lodine. I knew that it could be hard
on my stomach unless I ate a good meal
with it, and drank a lot of water. I take
one tablet twice a day.
I was drinking a glass of water that is
between 24oz. And 32oz. Every hour or
two. As many as I could comfortably drink
throughout the day. Then my pain started
coming back and got really bad. I was
wondering if maybe I could have been
drinking so much water that I was flushing
the medicine out of my system before it
could be of any benefit to me.
So I quit drinking all that water. I cut
back to a minimum of water intake. Now my
pain is all gone. Is what i'm describing
possible? Or is it just coincidence?
