No, Butazolidin is no longer used in the U.S. for humans.

Butazolidin was one of the first NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs), the class of drugs that include Celebrex, Bextra, Advil and Aleve.
Today, it's generic, called phenylbutazone, is mostly used by veterinarians.

    It's really too bad that this medication was discontinued for human.  It seems to be used by veterinarians now (mostly for horses)  Ohhh...to be a horse and pain-free again.  I did take this medication  at one time until it was discontinued for use , and I suffered no side effects.  I was totally pain free.  In fact, during that time, I carried three babies to term and raised them through school.  Now, unfortunately, nothing stops the pain.My love for my family keeps me going.  I thank God for them every day.  Keep the FAITH.  Something else will be discovered  to replace this drug.

Sincerely,Hazel.

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain this drug through a Canadian pharmacy or in Mexico.  I have chronic bursitis and get NO relief from any available meds in this country.
