Is severe diarrhea a side effect of nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In short no. : NSAID can cause stomach acidity and in some people may give rise to stomach upset and mild diarrhea. But severe diarrhea is not seen with them. If if it continues further and especially with cramps and fever. Don't wait and get it checked in the emergency department.
