I need Help please

[Jeffrodina 0]

I am going to the Philippines in 2 days, I have a major flair up of ulcerative colitis. I am hospitalized and am going to go against medical advice and leave the hospital so that I can make my flight to the Philippines. Anyways, I am in major pain, does the Philippines have Vicodin,lortab or Norco, or any Hydrocodone/acetaminophen, I can't have nsaid meds as it causes lower gi bleed, and can,fatally shut my kidneys down, I need to know what hospital in the Philippines has it or something similar as that seems to work for me

There are two major drug stores in the Phils; Mercury & Watson . They would most likely require a prescription from a Philippine doctor (just my opinion)

Sorry your out of luck you can't get nothing for your pain in pH not even a aspirin I always bring my own pain meds

Acetaminophen might be available but you have to have a prescription. You may check with St. Luke's Medical Hospital in global city Taguig as it's one of the best hospitals in Ph so they most likely be able to help you

Acetaminophen in the Philippines is called Paracetamol. You can buy this at any drug store as it is an OTC (over the counter) drug.

[jannapalmer 10]

If you have a major flare up of ulcerative colitis, paracetamol won't be as effective in curing pain related to ulcer. When I have ulcer pains I am prescribed Naproxen (obviously you can't take that as you said you can't take NSAIDs). Other meds that I take, that are available here, are Omeprazole and Ranitidine. Ranitidine can be bought OTC

omeprazole and ranitidine just decrease acid..
