Hi! My grandmother is 53 years old and has arthritis. She takes cataflam against pain and inflammation. Some time ago she started telling us that her tablets are missing. She thinks someone is taking them. I have a younger brother who is a teenager. When I asked him if he knows anything about grandma missing medicine, he yelled at me, slammed the door and went out with his friends. Is it possible that he is taking Cataflam? I mean, is it possible to get a high of cataflam?
Hi! Cataflam is one of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). It reduces hormones that cause inflammation and decreases pain. It is often used in treatment of spondylitis and arthritis. I have never heard that someone used cataflam in order to get a high off. You said that your brother is a teenager; well, teenagers usually yell and slam the door, so this is not the proof the he is using some psychoactive substances. You should talk to your grandmother; see how many tablets she has and then pay more attention to her. Is she taking any other medicine in combination with cataflam? Maybe she has some problems and this is the way to ask for more attention. Also, you have to improve your relation with your brother. He could be very sensitive and he needs attention too.
