Just as it may interest and I'm waiting for a water pump gasket to seal on the car I am about to take my 5th of these for a slight bit of arthritis swelling in my knee. I had bought some plus zinc before Trump's debacle as a possible covid+19 prophylactic and with my knee acting up a lot in lock down, my doc(s) said why not try it. I was taking one 200mg, once a week but when I got to the 4th, two days after I had a very bad day of heart arythmia which is the first time it happened not connected to too much sodium intake. I had been good so this was a surprise. My heart rate is normally in the mid 40s, 55bpm ish after coffee but still like a metronome. Here you can see it at 98 caused by the pulse oxymeter incorrectly counting additional waves of flutter as beats. The oxygen level consequently a little low but partly as I was at 7000 feet. So I spoke to the doc and he said switch from a 7 to a 12 day interval due to the very long half life of the drug causing it to build in my system. Now the stuff has been great for my knee, far far better than methocarbamol but considering how little I have been taking the good and the bad, I've gone from being blazee about how can this tiny 200mg pill once a week do anything bad to me to I have wary respect for it. This is due to the heart flutter scare and that it is undoubtedly helping my knee so has strong effect in very small doses mg/Kg wise.
