The sky isn ’t the limit for NSAIDs analgesia
Using the one-dose/one-size approach is detrimental to patient health.
As an ED clinician, I take enormous pride in taking care of patients presenting to my ED in pain. I take even bigger pride in the progress that Emergency Medicine has made over the past 15 years to perfect pain management.
Armed with a solid knowledge base, great evidential support, and a broad array of analgesics, ED doctors across the country are providing effective and safe relief of pain.

Are you under treating pain in your ED?
Conclusion
While I commend efforts to minimize any harm our therapies may have on patients, I remain unconvinced that using the maximum recommended dose of NSAIDs in the Emergency Department will have a net negative effect on them. In fact, given the systemic issue of oligoanalgesia in the ED, I’ll happily stick with 800 mg of ibuprofen, whether it be for my patients or myself.

The Truth About Common Digestive Health Fears
Everyone experiences digestive problems now and then, and they’re nobody’s idea of a good time. In a survey of nearly 72,000 adults in the U.S., 61% reported having had at least one gastrointestinal (GI) symptom over the previous week, and within that group, 58% said they’d had two or more GI symptoms over the past week, according to a study in a 2018 issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Because symptoms like constipation, heartburn, and abdominal pain are generally vague and often don’t have an obvious cause, those suffering tend to fear the worst.
