A member asked:

Would my stools change if i had damage to my liver? i have aggressively taken nsaids for many years. they've become green/brown for 2+ weeks now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NSAIDs: NSAIDs donot damage liver. However, they may damage the kidneys and may cause gastric ulceration.
