Regular use of certain pain relievers, such as nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs, has been associated with a higher risk of diverticular complications.
Do not stop prescribed medications on your own. Talk with your doctor about the safest pain relief options for your situation.
Pin Tip
Keep a list of every medication you take, including over the counter products.
Talk to Your Doctor
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diverticular disease affects people differently, so follow the diet and treatment plan your own doctor recommends.
