old news.. the reason that doctors tend to use tylenol more in hospitals, despite its liver issues, is because they can use the same drug across the board for babies-geriatrics, as it can be delivered via pill, liquid and suppository. (the suppository part is where ibuprofen tends to fall short)

if you dont have stomach ulcers, advil/ibuprofen is definitely the way to go.

guys just dont realize what they are doing when they are popping them for muscle aches or whatever along with oral steroids and partying on the weekends . its a 3 way assault on the liver

Exactly. Even under suggested "safe" dosages, acetaminophen raises liver enzymes, especially ALT.

Stay away from this crap, altoghether.

If you've been on long, heavy oral cycle, suggest adding some N-Acetyl Cysteine as liver protection, regardless of what other herbal stuff you take.

This is one of the main compounds emergency room doctors use to mitigate liver damage from toxic substances, including acetaminophen poisoning.

thanks

Ibuproifin also can be hepatoxic

i didnt think ibuprofin affected your liver, Omega. i thought it will "only" eat away your stomach lining (when abused...)

i take advil, gets rid of the headache, muscle aches, and its an NSAID which is good for the ol' tendons...

they need to run the same study on asprin bc all i ever take is BC's which is probably every other day but then again the "internal bleeding and stomach irritation" problem is almost just as bad

did any body else catch the fact that another pain killer company hired the researcher for this test?

"The researchers had been hired by the drug company Purdue Pharma LP, maker of the prescription painkiller OxyContin, to find out why abnormal liver tests were showing up in people testing a combination drug containing the acetaminophen and the opiate hydrocodone."

It does, and so does aleve.

 

[Mudge]

The liver affects many process' in the body, much more than people think.

 

[OMEGA]

It does, and so does aleve.

I notice when I started using 600 mgs regular of Advil

it felt VERY toxic

now I barley use 200 once a week

it does work though

Napraxin ( aleve) is the worst of them all..........

all nsaids are hard on the liver, some are just more hepatoxic than others.

was prescribed a super potent nsaid, toradol, some years ago that could not be taken for more than 5 days.

will say one thing combined with 10mg vicoden it really worked..

as a note- tylenol is the main cause of fulminant hepatic failure in the united states (though a large percentage of those are from suicide attempts- usually the "cry for help" variety--- not realizing the often permanent damage it can cause)

(note- not downplaying the seriousness of such attempts, just delineating)

I picked up on that too, but quickly disgarded it because I don't think OTC Tylenol and Hard-to-get doctor prescribed Oxycontin are not exactly in the same business/competition.

yes but if that company can kill an OTC remidy..wont that pretty much leave a gap in the industry?
