Pain pills and your kidneys

Read along

Here is every word Neff says in the video.

1. Hi! I'm Neff, from The Kidney Experts. Let's talk about pain pills and your kidneys.
2. Some common pain pills are called NSAIDs. Ibuprofen and naproxen are two of them. You may know them as Advil, Motrin, or Aleve. You can buy them at the store.
3. These pills lower the blood flow to your kidneys. That can hurt your kidneys. The risk is higher if you have kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
4. Here's the tricky part. They hide in other things too, like some cold medicines. And they are sold under many names. So read the Drug Facts label. Look for the word NSAID.
5. So what can you take for pain? That depends on you. It depends on your kidneys, your health, and the other pills you take. So ask us. Ask about ways to ease pain without pills, too.
6. Tell us about all the medicines you take. That means pills from the store, vitamins, and supplements too.
7. And please, ask us before you take or stop any medicine.
8. We're here to help. Bring your questions to every visit. Let's take care of your kidneys together!
