When we have any pain, we immediately turn to ibuprofen. As a rule, it makes us feel good, our headache, stomach ache or any other pain goes away.
But this anti-inflammatory also has a serious side effect: constipation. Ibuprofen prevents the formation of protective gastric mucus, which stands up against stomach acid, says Dr. Christopher Hollingsworth, a surgeon.
The use of this medicine is associated, for this reason, with gastric ulcers. This is the reason why all doctors prescribe the anti-inflammatory only in the company of a gastric dressing.
The medicine slows down the activity of the stomach and the bowels will move more slowly. This is how constipation occurs.
This drug blocks the production of prostaglandins, substances that transmit pain signals to the brain. Ibuprofen is also useful in treating fever, inflammation and menstrual pain. It is recommended for joint, headache, muscle or toothache.
However, Ibuprofen should be avoided by people suffering from stomach ulcers or other stomach conditions. May cause indigestion and nausea if taken before eating.
The recommended dose is one 200 mg tablet, three times a day.
Unfortunately, another side effect occurs in men who take ibuprofen. According to new studies, the painkiller is harmful to male fertility.
Numerous analyzes have been carried out in recent years and have highlighted the fact that those who have taken ibuprofen in large doses and very often have extremely affected hormonal balance.
Luteinizing hormone (LH – the one responsible for stimulating the testicles to produce testosterone) drops significantly. This results in hypogonadism and fertility problems. Doctors claim that a dose of ibuprofen of 600 milligrams (the maximum legally accepted in our pharmacies) taken daily for at least three weeks clearly affects men’s fertility, writes doctorulzilei.ro.
Moreover, there was an official warning about nine years ago in the US from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They warned the citizens about this medicine, claiming that ibuprofen increases the risk of stroke and heart attack, even if it is administered in the short term, cites exquis.ro.
