RE: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)

[Guest guest]

Hi Melvyn;

I think the term " Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) " is not

very helpful; it's too broad. Basically it means any anti-inflammatory

agent that is not a steroid. So does this include drugs like asacol (5-

aminosalicylates) that are used extensively for treatment of

inflammatory bowel disease? 5-ASA is an anti-inflammatory and is non-

steroidal. If you include 5-ASA as a NSAID, then the answer to your

question is yes, and my son is taking it, and many others with UC would

also be taking it.

Melvyn,

My hepatologist told me to stay far away

from NSAIDs. I haven't had a reason to take them yet either.

NAID's like ibuprofen is hard on the kidneys and since having liver

disease is also tasking on the kidneys most docs would say stay away

from NAID's to help protect the the patients kidneys.

- and tylenol is processed by the liver (which is also of concern). Toradol's

processed by the kidneys. Either the liver or the kidneys have to process most

drugs. Even though I have only one kidney, I typically use Ibuprofen; mostly

because tylenol does little to nothing for me.

Sulfasalazine (Azulfadine) is also an NSAID, but I really need it for my UC.

I've taken it for over 30 years.

Everything's a tradeoff, nothing is risk-free. If you can put up with the pain,

obviously you don't need it (which may cause other problems).

Arne,

I porobably agree with you on the Ibuprofen versus

Tylenol. I do take the later more. Both of them in a

min dose. I think iam going to go Ibuprofen, more.

I always thought that i should be more worried about

the liver. Also Ibuprofen helps toward healing other

aches and pains, like the joints for example. Although

on the other hand one should be careful regarding

internal bleeding. Probably in small doses it will be

fine i guess, correct?
