Can The Consumption Of Nabumetone Be Discontinued Without Doctor S Advice?
I am inquiring about Nabumetone he is taking along with Advil PM He has been on this compination for a couple of years. She he discontinue until he talkes to his doctor or will it be ok to continue until he goes to his doctor which will be in Febuary of 2014. I know some medications you cannot just stop taking but I don t know if this is one of them. Thanks

Hi,
Nabumetone doesn’t fall under the category where abrupt discontinuation is a problem. No such effects have been documented so far for this drug. So, it can be discontinued but I suggest you take the opinion of the primary healthcare physician for proper substitute of the drug as an indication of use for this drug is not mentioned in the query. Although, the drug itself doesn’t have any withdrawal potential flare or return of the baseline symptoms of the underlying disease might be bothersome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
