Yes it does. I have been taking it for over 9 months and thought it was a wonder drug, just like everyone else. Now, I am 60 lbs heavier because of the three prescription drugs that they did NOT put on the label. The three drugs are Prednisone (corticosteroids), diclofenac sodium and methocarbamol. I now have <1 cortisol in my system and am being weaned off of reumofan plus which is causing extremely painful side effects. Save your money and your health and stop buying drugs from Mexico. Check out the warning from the FDA here: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements

Can you tell me how you are weaning off of the Reumofan Plus? I am so afraid to start this process. I too have gained weight and have been on it for 8 months. It was amazing, I could get out of bed, and I could walk! I have gained 50 lbs and am in so much pain I can hardly breath. My legs are so swollen I can't bend them, the list goes on, and I haven't started the weaning process yet. How can we know the mg of the prednisone so we can taper the dose? I am seeing an endocrinologist but w/o the mg he isn't sure how to advise me. Any help would be much appreciated.
It has more than likely depleted your cortisol from your pituitary gland. Has your Endocrinologist done an ACTH test on you? My Endo started me on 10 mg of Hydrocortisone daily for six weeks and then I had another ACTH test done to see if my pituitary would naturally started producing cortisole. My test came back at a 10, but the doc said I needed my cortisole level to be at least 18. (Normal level is 20) I hope that he has not given up without this test! If so, find another Endo! I feel your pain, believe me. I feel bad for the ones who are duped into a false sense of security thinking they can buy drugs from Mexico and believe what is on the label. People are greedy and will say anything to make money. I hope you start feeling better soon. Just a note: Hydrocortisone makes you gain weight, as well. So, until you are weaned off the Reuomofan you will not lose the weight you gained. It is pure hell weaning off of this stuff but you can do it, one day at a time! Good luck :)

Perhaps because there are no side effects.
There is a group of about 15 people in my circle of friends that are taking it. The relief from pain in everyone is amazing.
There is a general feeling of well being. Energy to do normal things that has been missing. No buzz or feelings such as one has with drugs that speed things up.
My husband came down the stairs this morning standing straight. First time in years. He is 83 and I am 71. I had pain in my shoulder to the point of waking me up at night. It is gone! My knee pain is gone! There should be a study done and I will submit my name and my friends as well. We are excited about it and even my doctor is going to take it for her knee pain.
My partner and I have been taking it too. It has been incredible with the pain relief. We got relief a few hours after taking it, which I could hardly believe. There has been a side affect for us both, though, Neither one of us has ever had high blood pressure at all, and since taking this I have noticed a tightness sometimes in my chest and a racing heart , and after checking my blood pressure several times in the last few days, it has risen 20 points. This is a little scary.
I have purschase a couple of bottle of reumofanplus. Side effects, redness of the chest, face, puffyness of face also very haper and redness of elbows, hands. sometimes in a bad mood I snap at anything. Those anyone have this side effects...
I have experienced chronic debilitating back pain since undergoing my second back surgery in 2001. I also experience joint pain in my knees and feet.I have taken the usual NSAID regimen (advil, celebrex etc.) with limited results. Literally within 24 hrs of taking 3 of these pills I had absolutely no pain! I walked 18 holes of golf which previously would have been impossible. I don't know what exactly is in these pills but I hope that there is no prednisone. The immediate and complete cessation of arthritic pain that I have experienced is usually only attainable on a corticosteroid regimen. How could I find out if there is prednisone in them. This is too good to be true!
My entire life has changed since taking these pills. I am able to sleep at night without the blankets causing my feet to hurt all night. I can walk without limping. My stenosis is 100% better in my lower back. Please tell me there is nothing terrible for me in these pills.
