6 worst medications for your kidneys (slideshow)
So how do you avoid kidney damage from drugs?
According to research, most adverse events due to medications occur due to errors with prescription, lack of monitoring of the medication, and errors in taking the drug appropriately.
But that’s no always the case. Numerous drugs have been fast-tracked by the FDA into the pharmaceutical market, only to be yanked off the shelves or denied prescription after adverse effects, even deaths, were reported.
Even OTC drugs that seem harmless, like NSAIDs (which have been tied to heart attack) have been shown to have a dark side.
The best advice is to consider whether you really need to take these medications. When possible choose natural remedies so you can minimize your use of medications overall — and the dangers they carry.
Foods, spices and mindful health practices can help alleviate pain and inflammation.
When taking medications make sure you drink adequate fluids (6-8 glasses of water a day) to prevent dehydration and promote optimal kidney filtering.
