8. Food and Drink
Generally speaking, it is not necessary to avoid certain foods or alcohol when using NSAIDs. Regardless, it is always a good idea to check beforehand to be on the safe side. If you purchased your NSAIDs from a pharmacy then you should find this information on the packaging or an information leaflet that came with the product.
You can also find information on specific drugs on the internet. It is usually even OK to drink alcohol with NSAIDs without experiencing any dangerous side effects. Alcohol can irritate the stomach, however, potentially causing some discomfort when drank alongside NSAIDs that inhibit the COX-1 enzyme.
