I see patients popping pills on their own and nobody thinks twice before popping a ?combiflam? Brufen! I must warn everyone here that all these drugs which are grouped under a common heading ? Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can damage our kidneys permanently.
Please be careful and do not take drugs on your own.
The safest bet is to take plain paracetamol for pain relief (Crocin or Metacin).
Some patients feel that allopathic drugs are dangerous and take fast relief powders dispensed by quacks.
I have got these powders routinely analyzed and they all have steroids in them! A popular ?vaidya baba? in south Bombay sells ?Sandhivat? tablets and there is a queue of 200 patients daily! On laboratory analysis they had pure steroids as the one and only ingredient!
