Kidney pain advil (ibuprofen)?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Advil (ibuprofen): Or Ibuprofen is effective for mild to moderate pain. If you have kidney stones, it probably is not enough. You need to see a doctor to make sure that nothing else is wrong and for stronger pain meds.

Advil (ibuprofen) for renal pain: It woud be better if you find the cause of your pain, rather than blindly taking advil (ibuprofen) for it. Advil (ibuprofen) can cause acute renal failure, reversed by stopping it. Advil (ibuprofen) may also aggravate any hypertension you may have. See a urologist to find out if you have kidney pain and what is causing it. Your treatment plan can then be formulated and perhaps you will be able to get rid of it.
