Headlines:Hi everyone! I'm here to address some questions about your current healthcare practice.
I've been prescribed some over the counter (OTC) NSAIDs. I'm currently taking two for a painkiller and I'm wondering if anyone has tried their medication or if they have any recommendations on how to use them safely.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
Thanks,
- Sarah
Hi there, I'm Sarah who runs a pharmacy in the South West of England. My question is, can I just take the medication with water? What I'm curious about is if there are any alternatives to this medicine that would be safe.
Thanks for your answers, Sarah!
Thanks for the advice!
Hi, my advice is to start taking the medication as soon as possible. This is often a day before you go for a run or just for the first couple of days of the run or after your next run. Taking NSAIDs will reduce the amount of pain you feel when you first start taking them. You should also check with your doctor or pharmacist for instructions about how to take them. They can offer suggestions on how to take them safely.
