What can one take instead aleve (naproxen). if it affects your kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tylenol (acetaminophen): Tylenol (acetaminophen) or acetominophen can be a safer drug for older patients to take. If you have liver disease or drink heavily you should check with your doctor first as it can affect the liver in high doses or in certain conditions.
