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.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more than 2,700 deaths in the US were attributed to the use of NSAIDs during the first three months of 2008. Among the common side effects of NSAIDs are stomach and liver problems, blood disorders and problems with vision and hearing.
