Don’t Stop A Prescription Early
We know it’s tempting to quit your prescription early if you’re starting to feel better, but it’s actually a horrible idea. Stopping a prescription before your illness is completely cured is bad for your kidneys. Specifically, taking medications to help blood pressure or pain can severely damage your kidneys if used sporadically instead of regularly. Your kidneys love routine and changing your medication routine every day will confuse your body.
Do Your Homework On Supplements
It is completely normal to take daily supplements of vitamins, but many people fail to realize how high some of the dosages are. Taking too much of any vitamin is harmful, specifically to your kidneys. The supplements that are most dangerous for your kidneys when taken too much are cranberry, willow bark, wormwood oil, licorice, geranium, and vitamin C. Too much vitamin C and cranberry can drastically increase your risk for kidney stones. Even supplements such as turmeric, which is all-natural, can be harmful when combined with some medicine.
