Nabumetone: When and How Do I Take It?

Some general considerations for when and how to take nabumetone include:
 
  • Nabumetone comes in a tablet form. It is taken by mouth.
     
  • Your nabumetone dosage should be taken with a glass of water. Taking it with milk or food may prevent an upset stomach.
     
  • Do not break, chew, or crush the nabumetone tablets.
     
  • For osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, nabumetone may take several weeks before it begins to work to its full potential.
     
  • It is important to take the lowest effective dose for the least amount of time in order to treat your condition. This will decrease the chances of serious side effects occurring.
     
  • Nabumetone should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood.
     
  • For nabumetone to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. Nabumetone will not work if you take it in a way other than how your healthcare provider prescribes.
     

Nabumetone Dosing

The dose of nabumetone your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Your weight
  • The medical condition being treated
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may be currently taking.
     
As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
