NSAID medications taken before marathon running can cause serious harm.

In my opinion no marathon should be partnered with NSAIDS of any type, even gels. The fact that @LondonMarathonis sponsored by voltarol, I believe, is a risk to runner welfare.

Although the gels are safer than tablets, they have potential risks. The association though can lead runners to a misunderstanding and take NSAID tablets thinking they are safe, especially as most runners don't understand the risks.

My article in the @DailyMailUK explains my thoughts and is based on being the medical director of the @BrightonMarathn since 2012.

Runner welfare should always be the absolute priority above everything else.

For that reason, I believe that @LondonMarathon should stop their partnership with voltraol with immediate effect.

Non steroids are known to be incredibly dangerous when running a marathon.

I am incredibly grateful to @DailyMailUK for publishing my advice on this. Please share the article so others know about the risks.

There is no doubt that gels are less dangerous than tablets but that does not mean that they are guaranteed to be risk free.

They get absorbed into the body and so theoretically they can cause the same issues if taken in large amounts. The absence of conclusive evidence is not evidence of an absence of an affect.

That’s why for the Brighton Marathon, an @LondonMarathon organised race, we made it clear people should not take the risk of use the gels before the race.

Crucially there are significant risks of an association and partnership between any race organisers and any manufacturer of NSAID products – key being because people may not realise the difference and think if a gel is partnered to a race then the NSAID tablets are safe.

NSAIDS are more than running. They can cause heat stroke, kidney damage and gut damage. They may help you get to the start line. They may stop you getting to the finish line.

There 100% is a role for NSAIDS and NSAID gels. I prescribe them and think Voltarol gel is a great product in the right situation. Its just I strongly believe the role is not just before a marathon race.

Please comment, share, like etc if you agree or have anything to add to the debate.
