Suggested Treatment For Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Question: Suggested pain remedies for polymyalgia rheumatic
Brief Answer:
Prednisolone is the first choice of treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Prednisolone is the first drug of choice for PMR however if you want an alternative then I suggest Tab HCQS twice daily. Please discuss with your doctor about my suggestion.
The pain killer depends on the intensity of the pain. I usually give tablet paracetamol for mild pain, if the pain is moderate I suggest tablet aceclofenac, for severe pain I prescribe tab diclofenac or opiod analgesics like tramadol.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
