ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.
3.2 grams/24hrs max
You’d have to take 16 in a day. Standard pill is 200mg. I can’t imagine taking that many. Most I’ve ever taken is 2.
i took 20 per day for years til aleve started working on me. those i max out at 3/24hrs

Is that technically an allergic reaction?

Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol
Yeah, what I remember is ibuprofen harms the digestive track.

Oh great news, I take both, well kinda. The ones I take are a combo of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.

Tylenol is just the brand, the active ingredient is Acetaminophen.
my personal experience hotdogs are not as effective. could be their overall size difference makes them dissolve slower. and a smidge more filler maybe
Hamburger style.

Americans may be seeing serious savings in that picture.
I am seeing serious evolutionary pressure on liver genetics.
Nah, Americans are seeing a slight dulling of the pain to get through the day.
Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain’t no safety net to catch ya when your name whatever hurts and needed surgery a decade ago.
Take your pain killers and caffeine and get to work you lazy scum.
Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain’t no
thin in this world for free. No I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back, though you know I wish I could. There ain’t no rest for the wicked… til we close our eyes for good.
Shitty American LPT: switch it up between Tylenol and ibuprofen to spread out the damage to your body.
Lmao yeah maybe if everyone takes it for 100,000 years or so 🙄
You’re thinking acetaminophen
They’re probably thinking paracetamol
Paracetamol and acetaminophen are two names for the same thing
That hurts the kidneys, ibuprofen hurts the liver. You are correct.

It can but rarely; mostly it’s a kidney thing.
I take expired hotdogs, maggots, and clown tranquilizers.
Hamburger
Hot dog. I’ve always found swallowing pills difficult. The hot dog shape is weaker in the middle and breaks in half more easily.
Do you run a hospital or something with this volume?
This is just for the weekend
Be careful taking ibuprofen often it’ll cause issues with your intestines like diverticulitis which landed me in the hospital and has greatly restricted my diet and ability to drink alcohol
Also damage your stomach and your kidneys if you abuse them daily long enough time.
People pop those like M&Ms and not realize that prescription free drugs are still drugs with all their side effect.
So ibuprofen and acetaminophen are weak ass pain killers that do all the damage of alcohol with none of the fun.
As far as my ancestors were concerned I’m supposed to be drunk, chewing willow and maybe having a bit of opium for nap time.
Acetaminophen is quite easier on the kidneys and liver compared to ibuprofen
Hamburger
It works amazing if your throat or sinuses are infected. I have taken 800mg of pills and barely take the edge off. 100-200mg of children’s liquid ibuprofen is complete relief and it tastes good. Once in a while I will get a bad sinus infection that ends up in the back of my throat and the pain is so bad I can’t swallow water. I got the trifecta once that included my ears and I had to get some drops from the doctor.
Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
That’s the origin of the hate: addiction to meds.
I prefer the mini-gummies style.
I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)
Rip your kidneys and liver.
Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.
I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.
Ulcer moment
It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.
Do a sleep study, also, get long action type. When I was injured, I could feel the spikes and they didn’t last long
My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.
Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.
That’s rough, for me a CPAP machine allows me to sleep on my back rather than on my side. Which helps my back greatly.
I like the kind that comes in a liquid gel cap so it works faster.
Then you might be interested in suppositories.
So: blue pill?
Blue pilled liquidmaxxer
I agree, I like the liquid ones better, but I also have the dual ones (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) which I use instead when the pain is too much for ibuprofen alone. I haven’t found gel versions of the dual ones but if I did I would get those instead of the white ones.
Agreed, though the weird alchemy of it makes me less sweaty (but why?)
A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren’t in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect… maybe
I have to use hotdog. I have EOE and got a round one stuck in my esophagus for hours once. The hotdog ones break easy. I basically bite it into thirds and can safely take them that way. I could never break the round ones.
