I am not a doctor and am not sure about the liver or kidney, but I personally know that if you habitually take ibuprofen for any reason, you must take it with meals. I suffered severe esophageal, stomach, and small intestine ulcers from taking "ib's" on an empty stomach. Please be careful. It would be a good idea to get regular blood work at your doctor for liver screening.
it can cause ulcers or GI bleeding, but liver function is not normally something that is impacted by ibuprofen.
The ACS cautions ibuprofen users that fever, nausea, tenderness under the right ribcage and yellowing of the skin and eyes can indicate liver damage. Stop taking ibuprofen and contact your doctor if you notice any of these problems.
Taking ibuprofen may increase your risk for a heart attack, stroke or stomach and intestinal bleeding. Your risk for these problems might increase if you take other NSAIDs, (Non steroidal anti inflamatorys) have Allergies, asthma, high blood pressure, Heart disease or nasal polyps. Speak with your health care provider if you have kidney disease or are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding.
Stop using ibuprofen and seek medical attention if you have heart attack or stroke symptoms such as chest pains, slurred speech, trouble breathing or weakness on one side of your body.
If you have bloody stools or vomit mixed with material that looks like coffee grounds, severe heartburn or stomach pain and you are taking ibuprofen, you might be experiencing gastrointestinal bleeding.
Stop using ibuprofen shortly before and immediately following a heart bypass.

You should not drink while taking Ibuprofen. It can cause acids that damage the liver. However, a few light drinks should be fine. Just don't get totally wasted.

Both ibuprofen and percocet contain large amounts of acetaminophen. Consuming high doses of acetaminophen can cause permanent liver damage. Taking one ibuprofen and one percocet certainly isn't going to kill you, but be sure to keep your dosage low.

Yes, Advil is a brand name of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It can help to reduce pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Ibuprofen can cause side effects so please read the information on the pack and any leaflet that comes with the product.
Yes! NSAIDS, like ibuprofen cause vasoconstriction, they make the arteries in your kidneys smaller so no blood can get to it... this can cause acute renal failure if you take ibuprofen regularly or at high doses. It's a cumulative effect... so just by taking ibuprofen regularly for a while can damage your kidneys. It can also cause fluid retention, aplastic anemia, GI distress (upset), and ulcers!
