Those two little bean-shaped organs you have are responsible for cleaning out toxins and other harmful elements from our bodies. The kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood each day to make about 1 to 2 quarts of urine! It only makes sense that we have to take proper care of them or else, we’ll have to face major, life-threatening consequences.

As a proactive advocate of public health and safety, Proactive Care Pharmacy LLC encourages everyone to practice the following kidney care tips.

1. Don’t overdo your use of certain medications. NSAIDs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications in California (like ibuprofen and naproxen) that can damage your kidneys if you take too many at once or take them too often.
2. Don’t overuse antibiotics. There’s a reason why pharmacies in San Diego, California don’t just hand out antibiotics to anybody. These bacteria-fighting drugs can damage your kidneys if you use them too often. Consult your doctor before starting on a new drug.
3. A healthy diet is king. The best way to prevent kidney failure and other kidney-related complications is not through taking more pharmaceutical products, but by auditing the way you eat and treat food. Make sure you’re getting the right nutrients from the things you eat and aren’t overindulging yourself.
