A member asked:
My mother is a type 2 diabetic with around 10% kidney function (not on dialysis). a new gp yesterday prescribed arcoxia & paracetamol. not sure, but i think her endocrinologist previously said no arcoxia. are these safe for her to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Correct : Arcoxia is a type of Cox 2 inhibitor and that would be best to stay away from with kidney problems.
