T/F: You should avoid the use of NSAIDs and hyperglycemic agents.
False, avoid NSAIDs with hypoglycemic agents
False.
NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are used to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. They can be used safely and effectively for short-term relief of pain. However, long-term use of NSAIDs can lead to negative side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage, and cardiovascular events. Therefore, it is important to use NSAIDs for the shortest duration possible and at the lowest effective dose.
Hyperglycemic agents are used to treat high blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. These medications can include insulin or oral medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, and thiazolidinediones. It is important for individuals with diabetes to keep their blood sugar levels within a healthy range to prevent complications such as nerve damage, kidney damage, and diabetic eye disease. Therefore, hyperglycemic agents should be used as directed by a healthcare provider and within the context of an individual’s overall diabetes management plan.
