I've had recurring iritis for several years. Unable to get to a doctor until Monday I'm getting somewhat better using Advil, though I was only using it to relieve the pain. Perhaps this is working because Advil fights inflammations.

NSAIDS and uveitis

Post by Mike Bartolatz »

NSAIDS can help with the inflammation of uveitis for some individuals. motrin is not one of the drugs of choice for Adults. Celebrex, Vioxx, Indomethacin and Voltaren are the most used today. this has to be a daily treatment not just when in flare of the uveitis. because of this you should be monitored by a doctor. even ibuprophen which is OTC can have long term side effects which require blood tests to check kidney and liver function etc.

wish you the best,
Mike
