Probably not: If your kidneys are normal at the present time taking these medications will not harm it. Some people have taken them for years.

It will not.: Those antiviral medications are usually safe. At the usually prescribed amount they will not hurt any internal organs. Your doctor would adjust the dosage for any preexisting liver or kidney problem to prevent any toxic side effects.
