How to Check for NSAID Side Effects
Published: Aug 07, 2024
Regular NSAID users should know how to check for side effects to ensure safe use.
Monitoring Stomach Health
Keep an eye out for symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, or any signs of bleeding, as these could indicate NSAID-related stomach issues. Regular check-ups with your doctor can help catch any potential problems early.
Kidney and Liver Function Tests
If you're using NSAIDs long-term, your doctor may recommend blood tests to monitor kidney and liver function. These tests ensure that the drugs aren't causing harm to these vital organs, which can sometimes happen without obvious symptoms.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
NSAIDs can cause blood pressure to rise, so regular monitoring is important, especially for those with hypertension. Keeping track of your blood pressure can help manage this risk and guide any necessary adjustments in medication.
