So, as some of you may know, I had to go to the hospital on Sunday. Don't worry, I'm okay now. It's just a simple ovarian cyst.
I was prescribed with hydrocodone and ibuprofen. This is the list of side effects for the ibuprofen, copied word for word, including all the unnecessary punctuation.
SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, constipation, indigestion, dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, or headache. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you experience ringing in the ears. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience rapid or pounding heartbeat; easy bruising or bleeding; very stiff neck; or mental/mood changes. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience sharp or crushing chest pain; sudden shortness of breath; sudden leg pain; sudden sever headache, vomiting, dizziness, or fainting; changes in vision; unexplained weight gain; changes in amount of urine produced; sever or persistent stomach pain; vomit that looks like coffee grounds; black tarry stools; itching, reddened, swollen, blistered, painful, or peeling skin; yellowing of the skin or eyes; dark urine; right-sided tenderness; sever or persistent tiredness; fever, chills, or sore throat; sever or persistent nausea; swelling of hands, ankles, feet, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness.
All of this is from innocent little ibuprofen. wtf.
Also, apparently it can cause fetal and newborn death, so don't take it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Who knew this shit was so bad for you?
