Why should you take NSAIDs with food?
I know that part of the mechanism of NSAIDs causes a reduction in protective stomach lining, which can lead to stomach upset. But this is due to the mechanism of the drug and not the actual chemical components of the drug, so i don't see how taking it with food can help with the stomach pain since it won't stop the mechanism. I've tried to think of explanations for this and i thought maybe taking food will soothe the pain? But if this is the case, then why is there no instructions to take food with injectable NSAIDs (ketorolac)? It too will reduce the stomach lining, therefore causing stomach upset. Absorption for oral NSAIDs is pretty quick, while injectable is immediate. Shouldn't the onset of stomach pain be similar as well?
2 AnswersMedicine6 years agowhere can i learn korean for use in a pharmacy?
I will become a pharmacist in the US, and I want to be able to help out the Korean community. I know how to read, write, and speak Korea, but it is very elementary. I want to be able to speak to the elderly formally and respectfully, and communicate in a professional language. Where can I receive this type of educations? Preferably online or in the bay area.
1 AnswerLanguages7 years agowhy am i constipated?
Normally, I am able to go every morning and don't have problems with constipation. Strangely, whenever i eat healthier (more veggies and less junk food) and/or exercise and drink more water, i have trouble going the next morning. Usually when someone is constipated, they are advised to eat more veggies, exercise, and drink more water. But why is it that i am getting constipated when i do those things?
2 AnswersOther - Health8 years agofever with hot face and cold body?
I had a headache and a fever of 101 with my face feeling really hot, yet i felt so cold. it was 80*F in my room yet i had to be in sweats and sweater and cuddled in my bed. i had tylenol which seemed to have helped with the chills. Then tonight, it was probably 77*F in my room which is the perfect temp for me, but i was cold to my bones. I had to get up to put back on sweats, long sleeves, sweater, winter socks, and even take out the electric heating blanket and turn it up to the highest. This morning, i now have a fever of 100.4 and still have a hot face will chills once in a while. I don't know if it's related but my knees have started to ache this morning. Also, my headache and hot face started after a really stressful situation. I saw online that these symptoms could be for anxiety or shock, but I'm not sure how long it's supposed to last
