ibuprofen and damage to the GUT are in separable, even a single dose at the recommended dose will cause a small amount of stress to the gut lining. The real damage happens over the log term of course.
are u sure ya just talking about just the small amounts of Ibuprofen & apap that are soluble & get into ya cwe or are and not talking about when u take over the recommended doses occasionally over time?
oh ok ya talking about the recommended dose. the cwe gives alot less than the recommended dose though
I know someone who is prescribed 800mg Ibuprofen tablets to take daily for a bad back.
fucking drs. they think a codeine addiction is worse than gastric and duodenal ulcers
what do u think should be precribed for on going mild pain issues?
I think a low dose of tramadol is appropriate
I actually dont think panadeine forte is a good idea. they wanted to put me on that for 6 months while waiting to get my wisdom teeth out. i cant remember correctly but I think they wanted me to take 4 a day & were more concerned about the codeine addiction than the apap. ofcourse I chose to take tramadol instead because ive been educated about how harmful apap is in the long-term unlike most the drs ive met
I was getting minor stomach aches for a while. I get a script for a drug called pariot. ive also had nexium before. they are proton pump inhibitors. they are given to ppl with stomach ulcers. i havnt been diagnosed with stomach ulcers. they just give it out for stomach aches too. it stops the production of acid & helps ya stomach heal itself. works alot better than an antacid.
there's no harm in taking PPIs so if anyone out there gets stomach aches, even sometimes it would probably be a good idea to get a script even just to take for a few weeks. (I only had to take it for a couple of weeks before it went away)
u dont have to be using ibuprofen regularly to get stomach ulcers. drinking and other drugs can cause them to. even a bacteria disease can cause it
I also take milk thistle now. i was talking about that earlier on. a strong antioxidant for ya liver.
the hydralyte electrolyte drinks u get from the pharmacy a really good too for dehydration.
fiber supplements like metamucil are also good. they help constipation & diarrhea. nearly everyone doesnt have enough fiber in there diet
Another good supplement i take is valium
