| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Post surgery |
| Dosage & duration: | | 75 mg every 4-6 hours taken as above for the period of 5 days |

Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Analgesic post surgery without use of codeine (patient has allergy). |
| Side effects: | | Mild constipation |
| Comments: | | While I found the medication moderately effective for pain relief, I seemed to build up a tolerance to it quickly, so that it had a progressively less pronounced effect over the course of a few days. Pro: patient may be less likely to become dependent on the drug if it is taken as prescribed, because the effect tapers off. Con: Not useful as a long-term pain reducer because patient may eventually start taking more than the prescribed dosage to achieve pain relief. |
