My Dr has me trying Nabumetone for a bout of "shoulder bursitis" unlike any I've ever endured. I've been in bed for 3 miserable days & finally tried one pill this morning since I felt I could sit up for the required 30 mins it takes to enter the stomach w/o injury. However, there was absolutely no relief.
I was diagnosed w/Fibromyagia 5 yrs ago so I already have Gabapentin. This flare up is not confined to my shoulder so I ache all over. Since the Nabumetone I took this morning has done NOTHING & I don't have 2 weeks to see if it's effective, I want to take my Gabapentin but I'm afraid of a reaction. Can I take my Gabapentin this evening -6 or more hrs apart please?
Can Nabumetone & Gabapentin be taken within 5 hours of each other?

They are completely safe to take at the same time -so you don't need to take each pill at a seperate time unless you prefer to do so. They can be extremely helpful for your condition and both leave the body's system pretty quickly so if you realize you don't like the effect together then just don't do it again and you'll know soon. But if you can take them separately then you should be fine taking them together.
Do remember nabumetone and alcohol are not a good mix.
