Orlando, FL— May 11, 2016 — Pain management drugs are a popular option among individuals who suffer from arthritis pain. While these medications are formulated to provide immediate pain relief, there are undesirable consequences of using them.
Stomach problems are among the side effects of using pain management drugs. There are around 20 traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are widely used by arthritis sufferers nowadays.
Pain medications have been used for decades by individuals who suffer from pain. However, using them carries along certain disadvantages, such as bleeding ulcers and stomach upset.
“The good news is that there are already popular natural remedies believed to be a safer alternative to these medications,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
According to Robert Hoffman, M.D., chief of rheumatology at the University of Miami Miller, School of Medicine, these medications could jeopardize the health of the GI tract. The use of NSAIDs has been associated with gastritis, esophaegeal reflux disease, and bleeding ulcers.
Experts however provide some measures that can significantly help sufferers reduce their risk or the impact of stomach upset. While these measures work, it is important to note that sufferers may still encounter severe health problems.
To reduce their risk of stomach problems, sufferers should use the medications on a short-term basis such as about 10 days. They should also be consumed with food and a glass of water. It can also help to take them together with an antacid or calcium supplement.
One of the most effective preventive measures against stomach upset is to stop drinking alcohol and smoking. It can also be helpful to take the medication in the afternoon or evening. Those who take other pharmaceutical drugs for whatever purpose should also see their healthcare provider before taking pain medications.
Using these techniques could potentially reduce one’s risk of stomach upset. However, arthritis sufferers may also try using natural alternatives to these medications.
Natural alternatives such as glucosamine supplements have been increasingly becoming popular in the arthritis community. Even athletes who want to strengthen their joint cartilage health resort to the use of glucosamine.
Glucosamine naturally occurs in the body and is thought to be effective in repairing cartilage damage. It is not just used by humans but also animal with arthritis such as dogs and horses. The use of glucosamine does not produce side effects associated with pain medications.
Glucosamine has become very popular that it is widely available in the market today. The most recommended supplements contain not just glucosamine but also MSM, chondroitin, and turmeric. These are natural ingredients also believed to be highly therapeutic (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
