No, I am not. It's a dune reference.
Ulcers ("destroying your stomach lining") is less bad than "destroying your liver", and typically you will have to screw up harder before other NSAIDs reach that level. Tylenol literally is dangerous following the directions on the bottle, because those directions aren't calibrated for chronic usage, when they say "daily max" they don't mean you take it daily, that dose is even lower.
- astrange 5y agoI had a roommate who nearly died (his words) from taking a chronic regular dose of ibuprofen for a month or two when he was sofa-ridden after tearing his ACL.
- rscho 5y agoThis is wrong. Kidney failure from NSAIDs is very common, and also very dangerous. And can develop at recommended dosage.
- paulmd 5y agohey, thanks for the correction from a real doctor, I will be much more perceptive of that risk in the future. again, I don't do analgesics daily but I will be sure to adhere to the doage schedule on that. Pain medication is such an unfortunate area of medicine.
