Dr. Jawad talks about the difference between: Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Naproxen.
Hello everyone just not to july the short video i put together a column explain the difference very simple the difference difference particular ones dr. jawanda i get a lot of questions they ask for my patients what should i take when i’m in pain should i take ibuprofen should i take a cinema defender should i take naproxen sodium i’m in pain i don’t want to
Take something what should i take my recommendation is always if you’re in pain please take something ok being in pain means that you’re miserable ok and we don’t want that however the use have taken any of these 4 long terms will cause body damage whether it be skeletal whether it be stomach will it be gi will it be kidney whether it be liver so long term use of
These products is not good for the system however if you are in pain please take something so what’s the difference between ibuprofen acetaminophen and approximate you ask well let’s start off with ibuprofen ibuprofen goes under the name of either advil or motrin now the mechanism of action is it limits the body’s production of prostaglandins water prostaglandins
Prostaglandins are fatty acids produced in the body that tell the body that i’m inflamed i have swelling i hurt i’m damaged okay so what does that limits the priorities production of prostaglandins so it also ibuprofen you know reduces a fever reduces body aches main thing about ibuprofen it reduces inflammation however the limitations it works very fast not as
Long as naproxen okay but longer than a siddha medicine so this is like the medium type of painkiller however their risks of ibuprofen now again any long-term use of any of these will cause the stomach lining damage and gi gi upset okay at the bottom line however with ibuprofen you’re looking at chronic use is toc to the kidneys so i always recommend if there is
Any kidney damage if there’s any kind of problem that you may have you cannot use ibuprofen because if the kidneys are very sensitive to ibuprofen also one thing to note this is this is also why also considered an nsaid once an nsaid and sets our non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs okay so moving forward now a cinnamon ofin this is your tylenol okay you think
About town now the act the exact function the mechanism is unknown they don’t know how it works okay yes it does reduce the fever reduce the body aches reduces the pain however note it does not reduce the inflammation it’s not marketed to reduce inflammation the limitations the thing about is sediment ofin tylenol people take it because it’s quick-acting it works
Very quick to the body however the risks same risks as ibuprofen you’re looking at the gi f gi damage gastro intensional intestinal damage this is why it’s always recommended to take tylenol with food okay however the big thing about tanto very toxic to the liver so if you have liver damage tylenol is not going to help it it’s not going to help you also to note
It’s not considered an nsaid tylenol is not considered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug okay now moving along now naproxen now naproxen otherwise known as a leave has the active ingredient naproxen sodium now the mechanism of action approximate is the same as is the same as ibuprofen again inhibits the release of prostaglandins so it reduces a swelling it
Reduces the the pain aleve it’s good for headaches it’s good for muscle aches it’s good for menstrual cramps it’s good for arthritis it’s a fever reducer my recommendation to any type of muscle stuff is to take a leave this is why when you’re in when be prescribing prescription strength naproxen it’s a little more safer to your system well also to it does reduce
The inflammation whereas again it’s cinnamon if it is marketed as not the limitation the thing about naproxen it’s slow-acting it doesn’t act as fast as the other ones however this is longer-lasting the good thing about naproxen this is why they recommend it moreover tylenol or ibuprofen is the fact that it lowers their risk of heart attacks or strokes so a leave
Is a little more safer to the system now the risks just like the other ones you again extensive use will cause stomach damage the lining of the stomach can be damaged the lining of the digestive system will will be damaged so again long-term uses is strictly not recommended and also to note it’s an nsaid so to summarize ibuprofen and aleve are safer to the system
However ibuprofen is toxic to the kidneys aleve is not the more safer i said a minute fen it’s quick acting it’s toxic to the liver it’s not an nsaid so again this is a little chart i have a lot of people asking me what’s the difference what should i take my recommendation is always take something when you’re in pain not long term and if you’re gonna take something
I always recommend a leave hope you enjoyed the video i’ll see you the next time thank you hello this time did you odd please subscribe to my channel for more up to date videos and thanks for watching
