PLEASE, BE CAREFUL WITH PAINKILLERS. 🥺💊
That painkiller you take casually because of headache, body pain, period pain or back pain may not be as harmless as you think.
Especially when you’re taking it too often, in high doses, or without proper guidance.
Some painkillers, particularly NSAIDs like ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen, can affect the kidneys, especially in people who already have kidney problems, dehydration, heart failure, or certain other health conditions.
And the tricky part?
Kidney damage may not give you obvious symptoms in the beginning.
So please, don’t make painkillers part of your everyday routine just because they are easy to buy.
If you find yourself needing pain medication frequently, please find out WHY you’re having the pain instead of continuously masking it with drugs.
And before you take any medication regularly, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
Have you ever wondered whether the painkiller you take regularly is safe for your kidneys?
