Does Intake Of Diprivan Help In Treating Neuropathy In Legs?

My husband has neuropthy in his legs ,and he doesn`t have dieabeties , but my question is his pain management Dr. has been giving him meds. like oxicotton & he`s been on it for a long time a few yrs. or so ,but his Pain Dr. suggests maybe try a Drip ? but not Moraphine ,sorry some spelling is not right . So my husband is afraid it would come out or snag on something at work ,he works for Ford Motor Co. plus the good thing about this would be that his liver & kidneys wouldn`t be takeing the abuse from thoses pills he is takeing ?

Hi,

Common side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, weakness go after using the drug for a while they also can be managed well with few simple life style changes. Please understand the doctor had found the benefits of the drug to be greater than it's side effects. However, if you see hallucinations, confusion, agitation/ severe abdominal pain/ severe allergic reaction/ difficulty in urination, you should report immediately to the treating doctor for changes in dosage / medication as per need.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
