Question: i had the gastric sleeve operation on 2nd September - am I yet able to take anti-inflamatories (proxon)?
Brief Answer:
You can take it with antiacid.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Generally you can take anti-inflammatories like Proxon however you should add a proton pump inhibitor (antiacid like Omeprasole) to protect the stomach against ulcers. And anti-inflammatories should not be taken often, just from time to time.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
