Hi! I'm Neff, from The Kidney Experts.

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.061
Let's talk about pain
pills and your kidneys.

3
00:00:08.676 --> 00:00:14.040
Some common pain pills are called NSAIDs.
Ibuprofen and naproxen are two of them.

4
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:18.905
You may know them as Advil, Motrin,
or Aleve. You can buy them at the store.

5
00:00:19.528 --> 00:00:23.660
These pills lower the blood flow to your
kidneys. That can hurt your kidneys.

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.637
The risk is higher if you have kidney
disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

7
00:00:29.183 --> 00:00:33.700
Here's the tricky part. They hide in other
things too, like some cold medicines.

8
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:37.740
And they are sold under many names.
So read the Drug Facts label.

9
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:39.675
Look for the word NSAID.

10
00:00:40.221 --> 00:00:43.380
So what can you take for pain?
That depends on you.

11
00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:48.800
It depends on your kidneys, your health,
and the other pills you take. So ask us.

12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.971
Ask about ways to ease
pain without pills, too.

13
00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:54.760
Tell us about all the medicines you take.

14
00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:58.727
That means pills from the store,
vitamins, and supplements too.

15
00:00:59.354 --> 00:01:02.804
And please, ask us before you
take or stop any medicine.

16
00:01:03.362 --> 00:01:06.280
