Lodine

[biglyons]

I have a quistion about the drug lodine. Would it be considerd anabolic to some degree and would it be good for bodybuilders. I may be way off but this is how i would see it. Go to www.drugs.com and put lodine in on the search. As i understand it it works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation..would that be cortisol ????Help me out guys am i thinking right or am i way off???????Thanks

I believe that it's a cortisol because it was once prescribed to me prior to my 2nd left knee operation. Personally, it did nothing for me for pain. It was like popping Skittles in my mouth.
