Taking pain medicines if you have liver problems is potentially very dangerous for some. Check with your doctor before taking any pain medications if you have liver problems. All pain medicines are metabolized by the liver and can cause liver damage when taken in excess or when the liver is already compromised. Even healthy people should be cautious when taking pain killers.

ibuprofen is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It relieves pain and reduces fever and inflammation. Ibuprofin is eliminated from the body by the liver However this process may work too slowly in some people, and/or liver function may be altered by high doses of certain drugs, such as ibuprofen. If the liver cant eliminate this drug properly, it may become damaged or inflamed. Liver inflammation resulting from medication is called drug-induced hepatitis.

No, Aleve (naproxen) is not harmful to the liver or kidney. However, adverse drug reactions may occur with most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including naproxen, ibuprofen and acetaminophen) in people who have impaired kidney function.
