👉 The concurrent use of an #ACE_Inhibitors or #ARBs (such as LisinoPRIL & candeSARTAN), a #DIURETIC (such as Frusemide ), plus an #NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, Aspirin) when taken together, increases the RISK of precipitating #KIDNEY_FAILURE!

And elderly people over the age of 65 are more likely to develop kidney disease because as people age, so do their kidneys.

So taking such combination PLUS ur AGE will increase ur risk of developing impaired Renal function.
