Ibuprofen
|
|
|
When I take an Advil, I notice a significant reduction in my urinary output.
I have no known renal problems. Should I be concerned about this, is it
safe for me to use? |

Some folks have kidneys that are more dependent on the prostaglandin
function. If your kidneys are highly dependent on the functioning of your
prostaglandins, than ibuprofen may have a negative effect on renal
function. Depending on whether you need to take this medication or not, it
might be wise to see your physician for an educated benefit risk analysis
on your medication regimen. |

Thanks for the reply. Are there any OTC pain relievers that don't interfere
with prostaglandin synthesis? |

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a non anti inflammatory pain reliever that
only blocks prostaglandins in central tissues and not in the kidneys. But
tylenol does in high dose cause liver problems. In regular doses that
should not be a problem.

I would use Acetaminophen for a headache, fever or flu symptoms,
but for muscle ache, back pain or other inflammatory aliments
I would need an NSAID. The question now is if I use
ibuprofen occasionally am I causing renal damage? |
