Can Ibuprofen or Advil cause my stomach to hurt? Upset stomach mystery answered here.
NSAIDS a Gastroenterologists worst nightmare
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are medications such as Ibuprofen and Advil that effectively reduce inflammation and relieve pain. NSAIDs work by blocking the production of certain body chemicals that cause inflammation, and work kind of like steroids, just without the side effects associated with steroids.
Unfortunately, NSAIDs can have their own side effects if they are taken for long periods of time or in large doses. The most common include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and mild headaches. Bleeding ulcers will get worst because NSAIDs reversibly bind to platelets, how the body clots off blood, causing ulcers to keep bleeding.
Thankfully, the NoMoNauseaBand is a great, natural, and economical way of relieving those side effects & reduces the need for alternative headache medicine. The No Mo Nausea Band uses both acupressure to target the 4 receptors in the brain to stop nausea before it even starts, and peppermint aromatherapy to open vessels in the brain to relieve headaches and helps reduce stomach pains, as well as vomiting. The No Mo Nausea Band is one of the easiest and very effective ways in treating those annoying side effects, so make sure to have yours ready when one or more might strike.
