Ibuprofen is the most affordable and effective medicine for the most eaten pain and fever worldwide, which was considered safe till now. However, the debate on its side effects has intensified for the last few years, after which medical exparts and doctors have warned some people to avoid it completely, as it can cause serious harm to them.
A new research by Waterloo University has also given a similar warning that using ibuprofen with some high blood pressure medicines can cause kidney to reach damage. This is a special information for those who take painkillers along with their BP’s medicine.
The risk of triple vaimi increases
According to research, many people struggling with high blood pressure take two types of medicine. The first is duretics, which help extract extra water from the body and the Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, who relax blood vessels. Often these two medicine are used simultaneously.
Researchers used computer simulation that when ibuprofen is also taken with both these medicine, some individuals may have acute kidney injury. It is a serious condition, in which the kidney suddenly stops working properly and in some cases it can also be damaged permanent. This is called Triple Vaimi Effect, because every medicine effects the function of the kidney and its combination puts too much pressure on the kidney. Especially when there is dehydration.
They should remain careful
However, this problem will not happen to everyone, but some people have more risk. Especially those who already have kidney problems or other health issues should be more careful.
Acetaminophen can be used
In the leadership of Dr. Anita Lonne, the research team is motivating people to understand that over-the-counter medicine can also react with a doctor’s prescription medicine. If you take blood pressure medicine and the pen needs any medicine, the advice is given to use acetaminophen instead of ibuprofen, as it does not put as much harmful effect on the kidney.
In such a situation, it is important that before taking any new medicine, even simple painkillers, consulting with your doctor or pharmacist is always the best. This research is an important reminder that mixing the medicine can sometimes be harmful. Being careful will keep your kidney safe and your treatment will remain safe and effective.
