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.
Long term use of NSAIDS can cause a wide variety of vision related side effects including dry eyes, cataracts and eye hemorrhages. These NSAIDS include Ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, aspirin, ketoprofen, Advil, Motrin, Bayer, Aleve, and flurbiprofen. NSAIDS are also drugs that make your eyes more sensitive to damage from the sun so you should be sure to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Not only can NSAIDS make you more at risk for cataracts, but they increase the risk for developing macular degeneration, glaucoma and optic nerve damage.
