⬤ Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory are pills that reduces pain, decreases fever, prevents blood clots, and in higher doses, decreases inflammation.

❌ Examples of NSAIDs include:
● Aspirin
● Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) Ibuprofen is an NSAID available in both OTC and prescription strengths.
● Naproxen sodium and naproxen (Aleve), etc.

❌ What is the safest Nsaid?
✅ Based on the most up-to-date evidence, ibuprofen appears to be the preferred NSAIDs based on its favorable GI and nephrotoxicity profiles. Naproxen might be considered in patients who have greater cardiac risk.

❌ NSAIDS and Chronic Kidney Disease
✅ People with chronic kidney disease are generally advised not to take NSAIDs, with the exception of aspirin (for cardiovascular indications). NSAIDs have been associated with acute kidney injury in the general population and with progression of disease in those with chronic kidney disease.

✅ Foods That Fight Pain
● Ginger
● Blueberries
● Pumpkin Seeds (if you suffer from CKD, potassium control)
● Salmon
