Reply to comment by BZRich in Do NSAIDs reduce neuroinflammation? by One-Garden-1294

So for work, my main tasks is doing research on how conditions, medications, and surgeries can aggravate or lead to other conditions. Unfortunatly, I don't think there is any medications out there that the hypothetical pros outweigh the hypothetical cons.

For example, using steroid based inhalers can aggravate DMII by causing insulin resistance. Even worse, all inhales CAN cause this, steroid based just has a higher number reported in case studies.

Also, you can make an argument for almost any medication and the negative effects on the body. It truly comes down to what works the best for the patient and what doesn't have as many side effects.

Every effective medication will have side effects.

As always you gotta weigh the negatives with the be edits.

Which is why 500 count bottles of ibuprofen are so insane: it makes it look like candy. Pill bottles in general make people just grab a hand full.

Like how on earth does a 500 count bottle make sense when the otc guidelines for ibuprofen is 3 a day for 4 days max, and not for frequent use..
