A member asked:
Why're non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam considered contraindicated in renal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They hurt the kidney: Nsaids interfere with the internal regulation of blood flow in the kidney. Using them reduces renal blood flow and decreases kidney function.
