According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver.

Hi bruising can be a sign that your platelets are low. Are you taking aspirin? Ibuprofen? What makes you think it might be your liver?

I want to add that Nsaid's or Ibuprofen can also be harmful to the liver. I'm not sure why this is not widely known. I actually have more trouble with Ibuprofen than I do with Tylenol. I had asked my Doctor about it and he told me that Ibuprofen was just as harmful in large doses.
With you having an occasional drink and you taking the prescribed medication, I would not worry about your intake of Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
so i usually use a NSAID like Ibuprofen or Pamprin (acetaminophen) once a month for cramps, but I know these are hard on the liver and now that I know i have Hepatitis C is there something else i could take? I menstrual cramps that are unbearable the first few days.
It should not be used by anyone who may want to get on a transplant list. As drug or alcohol abuse are conditions for not listing patients for liver transplantation.
From the Mayo Clinic
"Major categories of pain medications, including over-the-counter analgesics (OTCAs) such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and opioids, are largely metabolized by the liver.
The ultrasound indicates a suspicious object on your liver, a possible lesion. And your liver panel scores indicate liver inflamation. Get a CT Scan with Contrast. The contrast fluid will highlite any hard tissue (lesions or cirrhosis). The Radiologist will determine what this is. Have you been tested for Hepatitis C virus? HCV will lead to cirrhosis (scaring).
Stay away from alcohol. Do not drink a drop. Stop taking any NSAIDS such as Advil, Ibuprofen. These harm the liver.
If NSAIDs are medically required for the treatment of another medical disorder, a reduced dose should be used for a limited period of time and only by people with stable liver disease. Finally, people with liver disease who smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol should avoid NSAIDs as they are also at increased risk for its complications.
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and other NSAIDs are drugs that are widely used for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
my son was taking Motrin and had nose bleeds ,we stopped that now takes an ocassional Tylenol 325mg 2 ,I just read people with Liver Dz that a dose of 4 to7 Gms over a course of 3-4 days can be toxic,how many is that in milligrams? .What can you take safely for fever or pain. I know Tylenol is deadly to liver in certain amounts .Any info would be appreciated.
This is especially true if you have an already compromised liver from drugs/alcohol, or having taken narcotics or opiates that are mixed with acetaminophen or apap in the past. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is much safer for your liver. So is Aleve which is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory). Might be better to switch between an ibuprofen and an NSAID than with Tylenol..
Neither of them is completely safe. From what I learned, if you have little or no liver damage, you can use either ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But if your liver damage is more advanced, acetaminophen is safer AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OVERDOSE IT OR MIX IT WITH ALCOHOL. Be careful that acetaminophen is in a lot of other medications and if you take those PLUS your own acetaminophen, you might be overdosing it.
and he just told me to take a warm bath and some Ibuprofen.... and that always appears to work fine. And I do not take Ibuprofen on a regular basis nor at the time of my recent blood tests. So, now that the high GGT reading is showing up and I am trying to qualify for preferred status on a large life insurance policy for my business, I need to get some answers why the GGT is so high (200 to 300 range---way out of normal ranges).
t drink alcohol, but is it dangerous or bad for your liver to always be near the max daily dose? I try to give my liver some breaks by cutting my dose way down for a few days here and there, but I still get scared. I read stuff online about liver pain symptoms and I can't tell if I'm causing my body harm or if it's all in my head. I had a blood test in June and my liver was normal. As long as I'm staying within the safe daily dose am I ok? Or can it cause damage?
