I urge anyone taking Artridol for more than brief periods to advise their phyisican you are doing so. My mother has been taking this drug (almost daily) for 20 years. This drug contains a Steroid that can be very harmful after longterm use. My mother has been on life support for about a week. She is expected to survive, but with many complications for the remainder of her life, she is 74. After extended use of steroids you can just stop taking them, my mother will now need to be on steroids for the rest of her life. Nearly all medication, perscription or over the counter have side effects. Please eductate yourselves and make sure family members know what medications you are taking. My mother has endured a serious surgery and been on a ventilator over the past week, all because the wonderful, and caring medical team could not figure out what was causing the severe health problems that develope when the steroids are no longer available. Please, please, please be careful and don't put your loved ones through this pain. I know each of you take this drug to allow you to function through the pain, but the side effects can be fatal. I wish you all relief from your pain so you are not tempted to go this route. Sorry for my rant.

I started taking Rumoquin (generic version of Artridol) about a year and 1/2 ago. it is truly a miracle drug as it relieved the arthritis pain in my hands and significantly in my knees (i am 67). i play guitar professionally and could not make a fist with my left hand, yet alone play chords, etc.. unfortunately, it does increase your appetite and makes me swell up to a puffy stage.. i understand that is a result of the steroids involved.. one has to ask themself about 'quality of life vs. pain and damage' i would like to find out if anyone else experiences the swelling.. any info would be greatly appreciated (Rumoquin is very reasonably priced in Mexico) we winter in the yuma arizona area so access is very easy.. thanks

My mother has been taking this pill for more than 20 years. She took it like candy, 2-3 pills a day, and without her doctors knowledge. She ended up in the hospital and did not have access to her artridol. She couldn't walk and was in more pain than what she had before ever taking the pill. Her body went through withdrawls. Thats when we found out what this pill can do. Her doctor has her on 3 pills a week but that was all he was able to wean her body down to. She had red blotches all over her arms and it causes catoracts in the eyes. If you end up needing surgery, this pill may complicate things because it thins the blood and makes healing difficult. This pill was never meant to be taken long term.

Artridol is for joint pain and can be purchased online at medsmex for $77 for 40 capsules. Doosage is 1 capsule per day with food. If you can get to Mexico it is much cheaper there, I last bought it in Mexico in 2003 and since buy it from medsmex. Bringing large quantities (10 boxes of 40) through customs was no problem. All steroid meds have bad side effects, so each person needs to determine their own quality of life vs side effects. I would only recomend Artridol to people who have tried all the other joint pain remedies without adequate sucess.
I can say it gave me great relief for more than 10 years.

I live in Oaxaca Mexico. I have Osteoarthritis in my right hip and some in my left from time to time. It is very painful. Arthridol was recommended to me by another expat. I was warned that it could adversely affect the kidneys. So I was on the lookout for it. I was taking one every morning...which turned out to be way too often as I began to have lower back (kidney) aches. So I went to one per week and that works fine. I am careful to drink a lot of water. I dont like to take such powerful medicine, but nothing else relieves the pain. I am 66.

I took Artridol for lower back pain for for almost a month and they completely stopped the pain. I now only take a couple when my pain flares up. Maybe every three months or so.

I have been taking Artridol for over 15 years. I have tried prescription drugs and nothing touches the Artrithis paid that I have except Artridol. I haven't noticed any side affects from taking this except for my arms being easier bruised than before and I have a problem from time to time holding my pepe. I am 67 almost 68 years old and I was taking one pill a day and after the pain went away of started cutting back the dosage to one every other day and then I would stay off of them for a week and then go back to every other day. I now only take 3 in a 7day period and I still have the relief I need to do the things I need to do. I will soon cut back to two a week and I think that will still give me what I need without overloading my body with steriods. I am like the man that said that he would rather live a shorter time and have a more productive life. I am having trouble getting the Artrodol anymore because I live in the Austin area and I am having trouble finding people that go to Mexico from time to time that can get these for me. Can someone tell me another way to buy these?

I have been using Artridol for 1 1/2 yrs for back and leg pain due to an accident where a semi hit me. The pain has been excruciating and nothing has been able to touch it except this drug! In Mexico, the pharmacy told me I could/should take 3 per day. However, I only take one a day and I am able to do dishes, laundry, make the bed an other daily chores. I am so excited that I found out about Artridol! It is a life saver for me. I wish we had access to it in the States. But until then, I will continue to go to Mexico and get it. It is a valuable drug.

Found 30 Artidol capsuls. This is stashof my dads who has passed away. I Have 2 month old back injury. L-5 and L-4 lombard impact. Daily pain. Does anyone know the correct dose (safe) to take of this drug? How does one go about getting more of this drug without travel to Mexico? I have taken 2-3 daily for last 3-4 days and my pain is almost completely gone!!

Doctor considering Cortizone shots. Almost scared to ask him about this pill that is not available in the U.S.

Any advice that any experienced user of this drug can offer would be most appreciated!!

Thanks and take care....

Hi folks, let me tell you about this miracle drug Artridol. I father has been taking this pill for
Over 25 years and he can not go with out it. If he stops taking it for a couple of days when he runs
out. He will start swelling up from his joints really bad, where he can not get out of bed.

I have recently experienced hip and sciatica problems in
The past 4 months and doctors can not give a medication
That will make my pain go away. I father was out to visit me from California, I leave in Casa Grade, Az.
He gave me a couple of his pills 1 month ago and those pills worked for me.

I drive weekly to Nogales, Sonora to see some customers I have across the border and buy
One box of 40 pills every other week while I'm

Out there. I see where it gets expensive if your driving south just to buy that
Pill, but let me tell it is well worth it if you have
Back, joint, knee pain.

Give it a world it works.
