Tonight I just feel like sharing this with y'all----more like an awareness tho

I normally use Ibuprofen (a common NSAID) to manage cramps and it ended up causing me a stomach ulcer. What many don’t realize is that NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Diclofenac can irritate the stomach lining esp when taken on an empty stomach or used frequently just link I did then🥲

Here's what NSAIDs do to your body👇🏼

NSAIDs block prostaglandins which help protect the stomach lining. Without that protection, you're more prone to irritation, ulcers, and even bleeding.

My advice to you🫵🏼

- Take NSAIDs with food or milk
- Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision
- Let your healthcare provider know if you have a history of ulcers or stomach issues

Your body isn't replaceable so treat it with so much care!
