Not good for the liver, kidneys in the long term I guess (if you take it daily)

  You're thinking of paracetamol / acetaminophen. Ibuprofen has little effects on the liver / kidneys.

    ibuprofen is ignored by the liver which says a lot about its safety.

    Nah, Ibuprofen definitely affects the kidneys. It's on my mental list of medications never to try again. It always leaves me writhing in pain (thought it was my lower back that was on fire, turns out it was my kidneys).

      Have you ever tried dipyrone? Never had issues with kidneys with Ibuprofen, mostly noticed it with the stomach, but dipyrone was very noticeably affecting my kidneys.

    Nope. Along with GI bleeds, kidney toxicity is an issue. https://www.uptodate.com/contents/nsaids-acute-kidney-injury https://www.uptodate.com/contents/nsaids-acute-kidney-injury

  Apparently there are people who will add Tylenol or ibuprofen or aspirin to their daily cocktail of pills even if they don’t feel bad at all. Amazes me.

    Low doses of asprin are (were?) sometimes used as prophylactic treatment for people at high risk of stroke or heart disease. It's not a panacea--and more recent data suggests that it's probably overused--but the idea itself isn't bonkers.

    Low dose aspirin daily is recommended by cardiologists in my country as a preventative/protective measure against heart disease.
