Hello dear readers!
Nowadays, medicine is studying drugs very deeply. We know both good and bad about them! Today we will talk about one well-known pain reliever - ibuprofen.
The most famous properties of ibuprofen include:
- anesthesia;
- removal of puffiness;
- antipyretic effect.
How does this medicine work? What causes the pain to decrease?
When inflammation occurs, we start to form substances called prostaglandins, which cause swelling and inflammation and lower the threshold of pain. Then they enter the hypothalamus, in the zone responsible for thermoregulation. The drug in this case blocks such an amount of prostaglandins, which leads to a decrease in a person's temperature.
It should be noted that the drug is approved for both adults and the smallest children.
So what else can ibuprofen surprise us with?
1.Relieves Depression.
Studies have shown that more than 70% of patients with chronic pain and severe depression receive relief not only from pain, but also from depression itself. It is worth saying that chronic inflammation suppresses the production of substances such as serotonin (the hormone of joy). That is, the removal of inflammation leads to the fact that the production of joy hormones in our country increases, and depression decreases.
2.Coffee enhances the effects of ibuprofen.
According to doctors, after you have swallowed a pill, washed it down with a glass of water, and after you drink a cup of coffee, the result will be much more effective, and the pain will be relieved better.
It is worth remembering about the limitations of ibuprofen.
- The average daily dose should not exceed 1200 milligrams, i.e. no more than 6 tablets per day, which is prescribed after consulting a doctor.
- Not recommended for patients with diseases such as gastritis, ulcers.
- Should not be used by those with uncontrolled hypertension, because ibuprofen raises blood pressure!
- If you are taking blood thinners, you must be careful as there is a risk of increased bleeding.
- Do not combine the use of this medication with alcohol.
Everyone should know about the other properties of ibuprofen, since this medicine is very common, and in some cases it can improve health, but do not forget about contraindications.
