As a medical doctor, I prescribe some of these meds, but it's important to be aware that some can lead to significant kidney damage, and in severe cases, even dialysis.

What might surprise you is that some of these harmful drugs are available over the counter, and others might be prescribed by your physician.

It’s unsettling, I know, but that’s why it’s so important to be informed and vigilant about what you’re putting into your body. Today, I’m going to walk you through whether some of the painkillers, antibiotics or even chemotherapy drugs you’re using could be damaging your kidneys and what you can do about it.

While medications can be life-saving, it's vital to understand the potential risks. Even drugs I prescribe to certain patients need careful consideration. By staying informed, you can take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you find this information valuable, please share it with those you care about.
