That painkiller you're swallowing anyhow? Your kidneys are paying for it!"
You see those small bean-shaped organs — your kidneys? They work round-the-clock to filter your blood, remove waste, and balance fluids. But when you abuse painkillers (like ibuprofen, diclofenac, paracetamol, etc.), you're silently hurting them.
Constant or high-dose use can cause:
Kidney damage
High blood pressure
Kidney failure
And the scary part? You won’t feel it early. The damage builds up quietly… until your body starts swelling, your urine changes, or you’re always tired.
So please, stop self-medicating. Use painkillers only when necessary — and always under medical advice.
Protect your kidneys — they don’t come in spare parts.
