1654058 tn?1407159066 With low platelets from tx and a compromised liver and kidney system, any of the NSAIDs are contra-indicated for you (includes Motrin, Advil, Aleve). Tylenol is not to be taken indiscriminately either, though. With cirrhosis, no more than 2000 mg per day max (that means no more than 4 Extra Strength Tylenol in any 24 hour period).
1326572 tn?1275500911 I have early RA, just got the latest blood work back. My liver and blood count look great but my doc said my kidney function is slightly off. The creatinine is high at 1.09 and the GFR is low at 54. I was occasionally taking ibuprofen but have stopped completely now. I'm also on mtx, folic acid, norco for pain and also xanax. The doc said she wasn't too worried but she wants to watch it. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same sort of thing.
Avatar n tn re just fine but for your peace of mind get an appt with your doctor and ask to have lab work to measure your kidney and liver function. Usually, staying well hydrated and eating properly will keep your organs in good condition. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
Avatar n tn Has anyone noticed any difference in blood sugar numbers while regularly taking Ibuprofen, or other NSAIDS? I've had some health anxiety, and stopped taking ibuprofen in fear of kidney issues. But I notice my post dinner readings have been worse. I was only taking about 600mg before bed daily. Would that still effect blood sugar by dinner time the next day? Glad I'm off the pills. Just scared will affect BS control.
Avatar m tn I would not recommend taking all those medications, unless prescribed to you by your doctor. As well as possibly getting kidney and liver problems from too much medications, Ibuprofen can also cause internal bleeding and should be taken with or after food. Make an urgent appointment to see your doctor.
Avatar f tn This allows my liver to clear the medication easier, I also make sure to keep my body well hydrated too and drink plenty of water because dehaydration in itself can cause a lot of health issues including headaches, body pains, cloudy thinking, kidney and liver problems, on and on, so far so good , my health is excellent and truth is having hepatitis C forced me to be more aware of how I take care of myself and before I had hepatitis I was very overweight, smoked and didnt really pay too much at
Avatar f tn Tylenol is perfectly safe and will not harm the liver in the recommended doses. It is overdose that cause problems, and they can be serious to the point of fulminate liver failure requiring transplant, or even becoming fatal. NSAIDs, on the other hand, are not good for long term use. My doctor has steered me away from them. The active narcotics in the pain reliever (hydrocodone, for Vicodin and Lortab) are not harmful to the liver as far as I know.
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
Avatar m tn They cause salt and water retention. They can cause kidney damage. NSAIDs will make your symptoms of liver disease worse.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to use Lovenox and Ibuprofen at the same time? What kind of side effects should I expect if I do so? (I do not experience any pain). 2. Shall I be concerned about permanent implications (ie to kidney, liver etc) of using blood thinner? 3. After 10 days (when I stop the Lovenox), will I need a blood test? 4. How long would it normally take for such an injury to heal?
Avatar f tn The ibuprofen is predominantly metabolized in the kidneys (and partly in the liver). Lortab is really hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen and both components of the Lortab are metabolized in the liver. Acetaminophen = Tylenol. If your kidneys are already in a "stressed" state, I would not recommend taking more than the maximum recommended daily dose of ibuprofen.
963889 tn?1359677334 My girlfriend had an open biopsy on her kidneys and it showed ibuprofen caused the damage. Her doctor in Florida did some research on Ibuprofen and then did a report for the AMA. Ibruprofen (advil and etc) is the number one cause of kidney failure of over the counter products in the Nation.
Avatar f tn Our uncle has High creatinine levels, critical potassium levels and in Kidney failure, he has stage 4 cirrhosis. Dialysis is the only hope we have if not they predict 2-4 weeks tops. Everything I have researched was that dialysis was not reccomended for cirrhosis. That is the only plan of attack. I dont know if that is to rule out everything to determine if he has hepatorenal syndrome or not but I do not want it to also take the time we do have however grim.
Avatar f tn The amount of Tylenol you can safely take depends upon the stage of our liver disease. Even us stage 4 cirrhotics, can take up to 2,000 mg per day and it is safe. HCV treatment drugs are far more dangerous the Tylenol. If you will be doing triple treatment you need to be sure whatever drug you take for pain doesn't interact with the Incivek of Victrelis. So clear any drug with your doctor first before taking it.
Avatar m tn Do not use either. Tylenol and Ibuprofen cause bladder, kidney damage and not good for your liver at all. My husband has suffered from hep c since 2001 that we know of. Use aspirin ONLY...
689265 tn?1251130087 just had my 2 year old at the drs for a check following a fever and told him I'd used calprofen ( children's ibuprofen ) initially when trying to bring his temperature down. He hit the roof!!! He said ibuprofen is proven to cause kidney damage and should NOT be made for children at all, he's on quite a mission to ban it. Just thought i'd let you guys know. fortunately, i'd only given my lad 2.
7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
1386405 tn?1291587800 The biggest effect of Ibuprofen is in the last trimester. It affects the kidney/urine output of the fetus, which results in lower amniotic fluid levels. It can also thin your blood, which can increase the risk of heavy bleeding during delivery and after. Your OB will tell you the same thing. Everything will be ok, and now you know, and you won't take it again. Good luck with the pregnancy!
Avatar m tn Yes the oxys r both the same thing so don't get why he's on two kinds and doses and yes they can affect his kidneys and liver over time. But long use like alcohol.
Avatar f tn No don’t take above recommended dose .
Avatar n tn It has the potential for addiction because it affects neurotransmitters like seratonin and norepinepherine like other opiates. Tramadol usually has Tylenol or Ibuprofen in it an a adjunct pain reliever. What else have you tried for back pain? Tylenol and Ibuprofen are unfortunately overlooked. I would always try them first. They can be taken together safely. Ibuprofen is not recommended for long term use for people with kidney or stomach problems.
Avatar f tn Feels like muscles soreness or strain from activity but has not changed with any treatment ie. heat, ice, physiotherapy, Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Particular pain in the inner knees. So much so that I am unable to bend the knees deeply. Blood work showed nothing ie. kidney, liver, thyroid functions. Xray on knees showed nothing. I am in my late 50s. Not overly active but not sedentary. Lost my job late January. ????? Finished Champix 8 months ago. ????? Dr has no idea and I am grasping at straws.
Avatar n tn they must not take aspirin or nonsteroidal inti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) at any time due to the risk of kidney damage. Common NSAIDS to avoid are Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, and Naprosyn. Any cold medication or decongestants containing pseudoephedrine or other decongestants should be avoided unless your doctor has given permission. Tylenol for headache or pain - not for fever - can be taken not to exceed 1800mg in 24 hrs. Consult with your surgeons office for additional screens.
