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.
Although studies show that NSAIDs are effective pain relievers, they have serious risks. Most NSAIDs increase the risk of bleeding and ulcers in the stomach, particularly when used at high doses for long periods, and most increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
