"Esther (not real name) was rushed to the hospital as a result of gastrointestinal bleeding.
What led to that?
She was taking an NSAID (diclofenac) for back pain. She went to her friend's place who happened to also have the same issue. Her friend told her, โI use this drug (ibuprofen) and my pain goes awayโ. Esther buys the same drug. She used both diclofenac and ibuprofen for about 2 weeks. Then the real problem began. The next thing she remembers is, there were blood stains on her stool, then she was in the hospital.
Now,
Whatโs the best way to use NSAIDs (e.g diclofenac, ibuprofen, Felvin, etc) so it doesnโt cause ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or any harmful side effects?
1. Use it when itโs prescribed.
2. Eat before you make use of NSAIDs. Donโt take NSAIDs on an empty stomach.
3. Take the lowest effective dose over the shortest possible period.
4. Donโt take two NSAIDs together. The risks outweighs the benefits.
5. Donโt take an NSAID together with a steroidal (corticosteroid) medication. Example of steroidal medications include dexamethasone, prednisolone.
6. If youโre living with hypertension, any heart disease, kidney disease, be careful with NSAIDs. Very careful.
7. Donโt abuse DRUGs.
I will break it down the more so you understand the points better."
