Question
What information should be provided to Patients when receiving NSAID medication ?
Answer
- Drugs are to relieve symptoms: on good days, don’t take any. In rheumatoid arthritis, cod liver oil (eg 10 g/d) reduces reliance on NSAID S by 30 %.
- Abdominal pain may be a sign of impending GI problems: stop the tablets, and come back for more advice if symptoms continue.
- Report black stools ± faints at once.
- Don’t supplement prescribed NSAID with ones bought over the counter (eg ibuprofen): mixing NSAID can increase risks 20 -fold.
- Smoking and alcohol increase NSAID risk
