Airway hyperreactivity is defined as the exaggerated decrease in airflow induced by a standard methacholine challenge test. Chronic asthma requires the regular use of medication to allow the individual to perform the preponderance of military duties.
Generally taken every 6 to 8 hours, the maximum dose of NSAIDs per day is 2400 mg which is 12 over-the-counter tablets. Liver-safe: Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS rarely affect the liver. Unlike acetaminophen (Tylenol) most NSAIDs are absorbed completely and have negligible first-pass hepatic (liver) metabolism. In other words, the way NSAIDS are metabolized makes liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity) very rare.
1 NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events,myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. 2  This risk may increase with duration of use. 3  Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk (See WARNINGS).
