"I was prescribed Duexis for bursitis and IT Band syndrome. After taking five tablets over two days, according to the directions and always with food, the effects were unbearable. I first noticed rapid weight gain, then severe stomach pain, and ultimately diarrhea, which was black and sticky. Wicked stuff. Stopped immediately, will resume with low doses of ibuprofen and naproxen. The only good thing I can say about it is that it did control my pain and provided a deep, restful sleep."

For Osteoarthritis "After taking one pill twice per day for three weeks, I suddenly experienced, in the middle of the night, an excessive amount of blood being discharged with diarrhea. This continued every two to three hours until mid-morning when I was admitted to a hospital. I was diagnosed with diverticulosis and admitted overnight. Was treated with antibiotics. The bleeding stopped by mid-afternoon. The following day, I was discharged and then went to see my family doctor. He did not believe that I had diverticulosis as I had no pain associated with the episodes. After reviewing my meds, he told me I should contact the prescribing doctor (knee specialist) regarding the episode and continuing the meds for pain. I was told by the surgeons' nurses to stop the meds."
