A member asked:
Can somebody tell me how much ibuprofen does it take to cause kidney damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much Ibuprofen?: The answer to your question depends on how old the person taking Ibuprofen (i) is, what drugs that are being taken and how many i pills are being taken. Patients with diuretic (d) use are more apt to get acute renal failure (a) than those not taking a d. Likewise, older patients are more prone to develop a than younger ones. The good news is that any a caused by i goes away once the i is stopped.
