A member asked:
Can taking bc powder for a kidney infection and pain, do any harm or make worse for the kidneys? especially if you take a lot to help the pain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BC Powder®...: ...is aspirin plus caffeine. You could get the same effect with aspirin alone, or with a cup of coffee (and maybe save money). It won't harm the kidneys except at very large doses, but could upset your stomach and interfere with sleep. If this is your only treatment for possible kidney infection, see doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Otherwise contact with doctor for advice on pain control.
