Dr. James Rochester answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Med effect on kidney: These meds to not have a significant effect on the kidneys nor does one rot\utinely lower the dose in those with decreased kidney function. Hwever anti-infalmatories like advil, Motrin and aleve (naproxen) do so be careful with these meds. Hope this helps. Good luck.
