What Are Side Effects Of Taking Sumo Tablet Everyday?

I am turning 20 on 18th October, I have regular back pain which is unbearable in the morning for which I take a sumo tablet which acts as a very good painkiller but is only good for about 18 hours give or take. I gym regularly and am very fit. Can I keep taking 1 sumo tablet everyday ? Are there any side effects i should look out for ? Is there any other painkiller medicine which I can take regularly ? What are the effects of taking a painkiller regularly ?

Hello,

Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Since you have persistent back ache at such a young age, it is important that you should have it investigated rather than keep taking pain killers regularly.
The side effects of Sumo can be heartburn, abdominal pain or cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea; skin rash, pruritus, oedema, headache, dizziness, drowsiness; hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. bronchospasm, rhinitis, angioedema urticaria); GI haemorrhage/perforation; bullous/erosive stomatitis, purpura, thrombocytopenia, toxic epidermal necrolysis, haematuria, oliguria, and renal failure; increases in liver enzymes. Potentially Fatal: Fatal hepatitis, Stevens Johnson syndrome.
If you have more queries, I am available.
Take Care,
Dr Noble Zachariah
