Taking ibuprofen for long periods found to alter human testicular physiology

Exhaling CO2 causes climate change.

My husband started suffering with angioedema and hives about a year ago. I blame ibuprofen. He is still having issues, but it’s definitely better.

much bigger problems than "shrinkage" due to chronic consumption of non-aspirin NSAIDs, ESPECIALLY for those with any kind of heart disase:

“I was in the hospital for a minor procedure briefly last year, sharing a room with a fellow who had kidney failure from taking ibuprofen.”

probably the triple whammy of NSAID + diuretic + ACE/ARB, NOT an uncommon combination unfortunately:

Arnica Montana capsules, arnica montana gel, turmeric, cinnamon, others.

I just refer to it as “Vitamin I”...

That’s bad for our military!

In the Army we called ibuprofen “Ranger Candy.”

In the Air Force if you had your hand severed the Flight Surgeon would prescribe 800mg every eight hours. I was a long distance runner and the Flight Surgeon didn't even take x-rays when I started to have knee pain. He just gave me an open-ended prescription for 800mg of Ibuprofen.

Is beer and popcorn the only safe things to ingest on earth?

[Red Badger]

I’m not sure about popcorn................

[Verbosus]

I’ve always been afraid the ATF will some day add popcorn to their acronym since it is fun also.
You know - the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Popcorn.

Yes, I have read that ibuprofen/Advil can be very toxic for the kidneys over time. Same goes for the naproxen based meds such as Aleve. Some people pop them constantly, especially if they have injuries, but the results may be very bad over time.

Vitamin M is a common name too.
