Do not be fooled...Cambia is 50 mg of diclofenac potassium which is a very inexpensive and easily accessible drug in pill form. If you want it to work as fast as Cambia, just crush the pill and mix with water just like the Cambis powder. The only difference between the two is that Cambia had a flavor that is suppose to make it taste good. However, the pill when crushed into a powder has no flavor ...
Drug is diclofenac. It is is the most dangerous NSAID concerning heart related deaths. Google the American Heart Association Danish article. Stay away from this drug.

I used this for migraine. It relieved the pain a little bit, however, later in the evening, I was hospitalized for Ischemic Colitis, which I attribute to the use of this drug. I was extremely sick and hospitalized for a week. Be very careful if you use this drug!!!

I only used it once as a sample, but it seemed to work better than anything else I tried. My doctor told me to mix it with cranberry juice and it tastes kind of minty. Ive been trying many different things over the past 3 years, and I think this is it. I just had my prescription filled so we'll see how it works.

Given this medication to relive pain from migraines. Works great!! I have relief within 20 minutes of taking. It is a powder you must mix with water and take it like a shot. It tastes horrible, but by far the only pain reliever that actually relieves the pain caused by migraines.

Prescribed for migraine. Powder to dissolve in water (tastes like black licorice---yuck!) must consume like a shot. Leaves residual odor on breath that may resemble adult beverage. Provides absolutely no relief for migraine or cluster headache relief.

I've taken Cambia 4 times with very good results every time. After first 2 migraine meds were discont'd and being allergic to Imitrex, finding a good migraine medicine is great!

This product works great! I found that Triptans, another form of migraine treatment, created too many side effects for me to handle. My doctor told me about CAMBIA and my life has changed! Before taking the drug I read user reviews on this website. Another comment mentioned the risks when taking a NSAID drug. This concerned me but I found that it is not against CAMBIA specifically, it's a general warning about all NSAID. I also found that NSAIDs are well accepted in the treatment of migraines and recommeded by the American Academy of Neurology! Im so glad I did my research! I will continue to use CAMBIA for my migraines!:)Read More Read Less

I took Cambia on 2 seperate occasions. It decreased my migraine pain, but did not take it away. I still prefer Imitrex over any other medicine for the best Migraine relief.

Although I received immmediate relief from my migraine, it returned within 2 hours with more intensity. I tried the drug 2x separate times with the same results. I won't be using it again.

I am just starting on this drug as of 9/2010. I am looking forward to seeing how it works for neck pain due to spinal issues (2 surgeries since 2006). Migraines and headaches every day since 19 yrs old. I'LL KEEP THIS UPDATED AS HOW THE USAGE IS DOING.
