According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.

Did you mean you have pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen? Right upper quadrant pain and white stool could indicate disorders in the liver or gall bladder. If you have jaundice then it could point towards an obstructive disorder like gall stones. The other causes for pain could be GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach came up into the esophagus and peptic ulcer disease.

Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.

Anything you ingest by mouth is eventually going to go through your liver. From what I've read, ibuprofen isn't as hard on the liver as tylenol (acetomenaphen or paracetamol), but still be careful to take no more than what the label says, and tell your doctor you're taking it. If it works, your doctor may direct you to take more than what's on the label, but again, follow instructions, dosage and timing carefully. Stay away from the "extra strength" formulas.

According to medicine net, some causes of easy bruising are cirrhosis of the liver & liver disease, Marfan syndrome, bone marrow disorders, hemophilia, platelet disorders, medications- prescription and OTC- especially aspirin, NSAIDS (like ibuprofen, etc.) & prednisone, and Von Willebrand's disease. See PM for more things that can cause easy bruising.

The problem with ibuprofen or tylenol is that you can cause liver damage that doesn't manifest immediately. An amount like 10,000 is too much for the liver to absorb at one time, and there can be considerable damage that you don't realize at this time. I think you should go to a physician, relate what you have told us, and get appropriate testing. Also,maybe some therapy.....that's helpful usuallly to everyone. Keep me posted. Good luck and God bless.

t get rid of it, I have last stage Cirrhosis, am going to need a liver transplant before long, this can be taken safely with liver disease and hepatitis.

Acetaminophen far below the toxic dose taken on a daily basis can lead to liver damage. While ibuprofen can upset the stomach, there is a second drug, Cytotec (Misoprostol) that can protect your stomache while taking NSAIDs There are also enteric coated NSAIDs that do not dissolve in the stomach but dissolve in the intestines. We should always let our doctors know all of the medication, including over the counter, herbal supplements, vitamins and other substances (Medical Marijuana?

Ibuprofen, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is contra-indicated for cirrhotics specifically because the bleeding risks compounded with low platelets frequent in cirrhosis makes most physicians advise against Ibuprofen in the setting of Stage 4 disease, low platelets, bleeding disorders, and/or variceal decompensation.

Karen, Your platelets are already low, and NSAIDs can increase the risk for bleeding; imho, acetaminophen over the ibuprofen, hands down. 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).

This past 2 weeks I was ill with the h1n1 virus. During the 2 weeks, I consumed over 50 200mg pills of ibuprofen. I have had blood work done twice (5 days ago and 2 days ago). Both resulted in increased liver enzymes. I haven't had any ibuprofen in 4 days. Is it possible that my liver enzyme increase is a result of the "overdose" with the ibuprofen. My doctor has scheduled another blood work screening in two weeks. Will my liver enzymes decrease in this amount of time?

I'm 15 5'3 and 95lbs. I took about 2900mg or ibuprofen in one dose? What is going to happen. It's not a suicide attempt I just want to sleep.

The treatment that includes a protease inhibitor still also includes interferon. If your doctor doesn't want you to treat, it's probably because of the interferon which can worsen auto-immune disorders. Treatments that don't include IFN are still in the experimental stage and will probably be a few more years coming, if they happen.

I can understand your concern for these symptoms and the three possibilities that come to my mind are liver spots, senile purpura and purpura. However you have mentioned in your history that you have been getting these spots when you were around 25 years of age. In that case, chances of senile purpura and liver spots are less because these occur in people after the age of 40 and they are usually not present in young people. In that case, it is important to rule out purpura.

Gave me the wonderful diagnosis of P.B.C. Moor which I go Monday November 3, 2014 for the liver biopsy for staging. Are there any more immune surprises possible?

Had my blood drawn and the doctor told me that I have a irritated liver and to stop takin ibuprofen and stop drinking alcohol but the thing is that I don't do neither that much I take a ibuprofen pill on average live once a week and a I drunk prolly a total of ten times max this semester (in in school) because I have health anxeity I'm started to freak out and I have ****** insurance so the doc jus told me stop doing them to things and sent me on my way no meds no nothin

Hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) or signs of cirrhosis

I have had dx of 3 autoimmune disorders, RA in 2007 treated with Remicaid. Treatment stopped per Mayo Clinic in 2009 with dx for CIDP. Treatment using IVIG started 10/09 continues monthly, 50 mg x 3 days. Dx of Lupus subcutaneous 2011, blood test showed it was not systemic. Now RA out of remission & Rheumatologist ordered blood work to see if Lupus is systemic. I don't want to take steroids and am hesitant to chance RA treatments.

I recently went to a G.I. doctor. I had some liver tests done and my liver enzymes came back "slightly elevated". Back in 2005 my AST & ALT were at 17 * 18. They currently register at 46 & 48 for AST & ALT. I am a 29 yr. old female w/ a number of gastrointestinal problems. I was born without a gall bladder, I have irritable bowel syndrome and I quite possibly over use ibuprofen, taking as much as 800-1600mg/ day. Are these levels high?

My doc told me Ibuprofen only but my liver is a stage 0 which means little to no damage.

However, as long as you do not take many, a noncrhirrotic liver will manage to metabolze it. Tylenol is very helpful against fever, ibuprofen is ver helpful against infammation, eg of the ankles. Aspirin and ibuprofen increase the risk of severe bleeding, especially if one has low platelets. All these substances should be taken with care. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cKzJOmVhjs Fore migraine there are much better specialised drugs, the triptanes. Migraine is not simple headache.
