List of NSAIDS

Last night I found myself getting sick for the first time since my sleeve surgery. I guess it was only a matter of time as illness was all over my house the last two weeks... Well it finally caught up to me at around 10:30pm last night. I started to panic... What can I take... I usually live on Motrin 800s and Robitussin when I'm sick and now with my new stomach I didn't know what to take...

I started frantically searching for my phone hoping Dr. Alvarez was still tweeting for the night and I sent him a twitter message asking him if I could take my beloved Robitussin. Thankfully he said yes!

Today I started thinking to myself... I wish there was a list of the no no medications out there. I checked my Gastric Sleeve Book and it only said NSAIDS (non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) are not recommended because they irritate the stomach mucosa.  So I started searching for a list... and came across this list of the most commonly prescribed NSAIDS...
