My daughter bought me a Homedics iheal pain relief gadget for my birthday thinking it would help my arthritis. In the instuctions it says not to use if on certain medication but doesn't say which ones. I'm on Warfarin and steroids, do you think the gadget is safe for me to use? I've looked for an email address for them without any luck.

masma, I'd check with your doc if I were you.

Amazon's site lists Prescription medicines and also advises against use if the wearer has a heart problem, but nothing about which medicines.

I'd second what tonyav said

" ... iHeal treatment is non-invasive, as it does not require the use of drugs, injections or operations. However users should not alter medications without consulting a physician ... "

There is no mention here of any contraindication with drugs.

Thanks all.. Instruction booklet says 'caution using while on drugs or medication' - I think I'll ask my doctor before I use it.

I would think it`s fine with any medication you might use. I think they are just legally covering themselves by saying that you should check with your GP re: medication.I can`t see why it would make any difference to any medication you might be taking. It seems to work with electro-magnetic fields so it might be good to check if you have a heart pacemaker.
