Medication safety
Pain relief with kidney disease: avoid NSAIDs
Headache — grab any painkiller? With kidney disease, check which kind first.
- 1Common NSAIDs: ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, mefenamic acid, celecoxib, and aspirin at pain-relief doses. Many combination cold remedies contain them too.
- 2KDIGO guidance: avoid NSAIDs when eGFR is below 30; no prolonged use when eGFR is below 60.
- 3The "triple whammy": an NSAID plus an ACE inhibitor/ARB plus a diuretic clearly raises the risk of acute kidney injury.
- 4Risk is higher when you are ill and dehydrated (vomiting, diarrhoea, fever) — ask your doctor which medicines to pause on sick days.
- 5For occasional pain, acetaminophen (paracetamol) within the recommended dose is usually the safer choice — but still ask first; patches and gels are absorbed too.
Before buying any painkiller, ask the pharmacist one question: "I have kidney disease — is this safe for me?"

Headache — grab any painkiller? With kidney disease, check which kind first. 1. Common NSAIDs: ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, mefenamic acid, celecoxib, and aspirin at pain-relief doses. Many combination cold remedies contain them too. 2. KDIGO guidance: avoid NSAIDs when eGFR is below 30; no prolonged use when eGFR is below 60. 3. The "triple whammy": an NSAID plus an ACE inhibitor/ARB plus a diuretic clearly raises the risk of acute kidney injury. 4. Risk is higher when you are ill and dehydrated (vomiting, diarrhoea, fever) — ask your doctor which medicines to pause on sick days. 5. For occasional pain, acetaminophen (paracetamol) within the recommended dose is usually the safer choice — but still ask first; patches and gels are absorbed too. Before buying any painkiller, ask the pharmacist one question: "I have kidney disease — is this safe for me?"

|---|---|---|
| 0–5 | Hand reaching for painkillers on a pharmacy shelf | Headache, grab a painkiller? If you have kidney disease, wait a second. |
| 5–17 | Drug list: ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen… | Many common painkillers are NSAIDs — ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen — and plenty of cold remedies contain them. They reduce blood flow to the kidneys. |
| 17–28 | "eGFR <30 avoid | <60 no long-term use" | KDIGO guidelines say: avoid NSAIDs if eGFR is below 30, and no long-term use below 60. |
| 28–40 | Three pills colliding: NSAID + ACEi/ARB + diuretic → ⚠️ | Watch out for the triple whammy: an NSAID plus a blood-pressure drug like an ACE inhibitor or ARB, plus a diuretic — acute kidney injury risk goes up clearly. |
| 40–50 | Sick person icon, "ask your doctor" | The risk is higher when you are ill and dehydrated. Vomiting, diarrhoea, fever — ask your doctor which medicines to pause. |
| 50–60 | Pharmacy counter speech bubble + site logo + QR | For occasional pain, acetaminophen within the recommended dose is usually safer. But always ask: I have kidney disease — is this OK for me? More at Beyond CKD. |
