OTC Ibuprofen Side Effects and Safe Dosage Info
The over the counter pain reliever ibuprofen may seem innocent enough. After all, this pain reliever is available without a prescription. However,  ibuprofen has a lengthy list of side effects - some potentially fatal - that keep this drug on the “Use Infrequently” list.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen are commonly prescribed medications for the inflammation of arthritis and other body tissues, such as in tendonitis and bursitis.

Eliminate Arthritis Pain Immediately

People with arthritis who consume a large amount of aspirin and ibuprofen should consider these  ibuprofen side effects facts;

  • Approximately 33 million Americans regularly take NSAID medications like ibuprofen.
  • Baylor College of Medicine researchers found that 71 percent of study participants who took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) daily for three months developed ulcerations in their small intestines.
  • It is estimated that 25 percent of people using NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, experience side effects. About 5 percent experience serious side effects (massive GI bleeding, acute renal failure, etc.).
  • The most common ibuprofen side effects involve the gastrointestinal system. Over-the-counter painkiller medications can cause ulcerations, abdominal burning, pain, cramping, nausea, gastritis, and even serious gastrointestinal bleeding and liver toxicity.

The risk of serious ibuprofen side effects is higher in elderly patients, those with rheumatoid arthritis, patients taking blood thinning medications or prednisone and patients with heart disease or a prior history of bleeding ulcers. NSAID drugs (prescribed and over the counter) are a well known cause of liver dysfunction. Long-term use of anti-inflammatory pain relievers can put the user at risk for kidney problems.

Ibuprofen Side Effects:

  • Allergic Reactions: Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, wheezing, skin rashes, itching, facial swelling.
  • Gastro-Intestinal: Abdominal pain, nausea, digestive problems, constipation, diarrhea, peptic ulcers and bleeding in the stomach.
  • Blood: Bruising, thinning of the blood, anemia.
  • Kidney: Blood in urine, kidney damage and in extreme cases, kidney failure.
  • Liver: Jaundice, inflammation of the liver and occasional liver failure.
  • Misc.: Fluid retention, weight gain, headaches, ringing in the ears, dizziness, visual disturbances, depression, confusion and hallucinations.
  • NSAIDs work by reducing the body’s production of pain- and inflammation creating prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that are found throughout the body. Prostaglandins maintain the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines. This is why so many NSAID users develop gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.

In the kidneys, prostaglandins help maintain proper blood flow. Prolong use can affect kidney function. The National Kidney Foundation states that up to 10 percent of new chronic kidney failure cases yearly may be caused by chronic overuse of pain relievers.

A number of studies show that people taking either glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate report pain relief at a level similar to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen. Research indicates these supplements might also slow cartilage damage in people with osteoarthritis. Definitive results about the effects of these supplements are expected from an in-depth clinical study currently being conducted by the National Institute of Health.

Supplementing your diet with proper vitamins, minerals, and amino acids can give relief from inflammation and pain, as well as help slow the degeneration of joints. Ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, an amino acid complex, B6, boron, magnesium, calcium, and folic acid all help give nutritional support for Arthritis. All these ingredients - as well as many more beneficial ingredients - can be found in Arthritin. Arthritin offers superior pain relief and arthritis health with the side effects of ibuprofen and other NSAIDs.
