I've been prescribed Motrin 800mg tablets for chronic pain management, and while they've been effective, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. I know it's an NSAID, so I'm aware of the risks for stomach issues like ulcers, but I'm more concerned about the rare but severe side effects like allergic reactions and kidney problems. Has anyone else experienced any of these issues? Are there any precautions I should take to minimize these risks? I'd love to hear from anyone who has used this medication long-term and their experiences with it. Thanks in advance!

I always tell people not to take this on an empty stomach, but even then, side effects can happen. I took it after a big meal once, and still had issues.

I've never had issues with it but I've heard some horror stories... Almost every painkiller has risks, so do your research and know the signs.

Be careful with these, they can mess with your blood pressure and kidneys. I had to stop taking them because of a high BP issue.

Once I had to be hospitalized because of uncontrollable bleeding. It was scary but I got better, just make sure you know the signs!
