Saying NO to those NSAIDS...

Just because it is sitting on the drug store shelf does not mean it is harmless. 
I have been telling my husband for years, not to take Aleve so often, if at all. 
Today was the day he admitted,
"Honey, I do have to say I should have listened."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is ramping up its warnings about the risk of using certain over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs.   Some of these "certain" medications include:

• Celebrex, Aleve, Naprosyn and Toredol. (Aspirin was not included in this warning.)

​​

These are medications that are very familiar to you and most likely in your medicine cabinet. "They CAN cause heart issues."  

I myself have mitral valve prolapse and do not take any of them unless absolutely necessary.   These med are used for minor pain and I use an alternative route for that, such as tumeric, magnesium with vitamin D and Omega 3 (salmon oil).  

Choose what is right for you.   Choose cautiously.   

Blessings!
