is this safe for crohns?

I take dolgic for headaches. Is this safe to take with crohns? My Dr said absolutely no baby aasprin n tylenol only if I must. Just wanna see if its safe bc I've taken it for 2 days now. Can my headaches be from the remicade?

No clue. Call your doc?

I don't know what dolgic is, but as long as it's not ibuprofen, I can't see why it would be a problem. When I was first diagnosed, my doctor said to take acetaminophen as a pain reliever. The problem with ibuprofen is that it's an anti-inflammatory drug...which interferes with our treatment.

And yes, the headaches can be from the remicade. How long have you been on it?

It says contact your doctor if you have an intestinal disorder...

*dolgic*

Dolgic is acetaminophen (Tylenol), butalbital (a barbituate/muscle relaxer), and caffeine. Is it contraindicated in Crohn's? Not really. Just understand that butalbital can be habit-forming and caffeine can sometimes exacerbate a flare.
