A member asked:
What causes fluid retention with longer term nsaids? (and what do they mean by "long term"?)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS: Long term term means greater than one month. They affect the tiny arteries of the kidneys and cause the kidneys to be less efficient and slow clearing of fluid.
