Are you in pain? Please read this before taking an analgesic

We have known, for
quite some time, that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), commonly
used to treat joint and muscle aches and pain, are not kind to our stomach
cells. These drugs increase the risk of gastric ulcers and bleeding. These, my
friends, are the mild effects. What
is becoming more evident within the medical and scientific communities is that
the ingestion of NSAIDs is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events (e.g., heart attack and stroke), especially in patients who take them on
a daily basis.
In case you
are wondering, NSAIDs include
- Aspirin (Aspirin is a brand name; the chemical is called acetylsalicylic acid)
- Celecoxib (Celebrex)
- Dexdetoprofen (Keral)
- Diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, Voltaren-XR)
- Diflunisal (Dolobid)
- Etodolac (Lodine, Lodine XL)
- Etoricoxib (Algix)
- Fenoprofen (Fenopron, Nalfron)
- Firocoxib (Equioxx, Previcox)
- Flurbiprofen (Urbifen, Ansaid, Flurwood, Froben)
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Brufen, Motrin, Nurofen, Medipren, Nuprin)
- Indomethacin (Indocin, Indocin SR, Indocin IV)
- Ketoprofen (Actron, Orudis, Oruvail, Ketoflam)
- Ketorolac (Toradol, Sprix, Toradol IV/IM, Toradol IM)
- Licofelone (under development)
- Lornoxicam (Xefo)
- Loxoprofen (Loxonin, Loxomac, Oxeno)
- Lumiracoxib (Prexige)
- Meclofenamic acid (Meclomen)
- Mefenamic acid (Ponstel)
- Meloxicam (Movalis, Melox, Recoxa, Mobic)
- Nabumetone (Relafen)
- Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Midol Extended Relief, Naprosyn, Naprelan)
- Nimesulide (Sulide, Nimalox, Mesulid)
- Oxaporozin (Daypro, Dayrun, Duraprox)
- Parecoxib (Dynastat)
- Piroxicam (Feldene)
- Rofecoxib (Vioxx, Ceoxx, Ceeoxx)
- Salsalate (Mono-Gesic, Salflex, Disalcid, Salsitab)
- Sulindac (Clinoril)
- Tenoxicam (Mobiflex)
- Tolfenamic acid (Clotam Rapid, Tufnil)
- Valdecoxib (Bextra)
Weight loss,
mild physical activity, and anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega 3 fatty acids
and low in omega 6 fatty acids may all be beneficial in the treatment of
chronic joint and muscle pain. Additionally, topical treatments containing
NSAIDs, e.g., gels, ointments, creams, and patches, may relieve pain without
many of the adverse effects observed with pills. What about acetaminophen
(Tylenol)? Acetaminophen, while not a member of the NSAID family, has its
risks. The regular consumption of Tylenol increases the risk of liver damage.
