Dose: Consider the dose they are on, if a smaller daily dose both helps and doesn't have same problems. Might also want to take another medicine with that smaller dose, such as motrin, as long as they are not allergic, and their kidneys are working fine. Older patients on multiple medicines, those with diabetes, should be cautious when adding an antiinflammary and should discuss with their doctor.
