Ibuprofen, Kidney Problems And HIV.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

My most recent bloodwork indicates trouble with my kidneys. My Infectious Disease doc said this could be because i take a lot of ibuprofen for muscle pain and ibuprofen is bad for kidneys. He suggested I switch to Tylenol. Just wanted to share that in case it isn’t common knowledge. Thanks for reading. Summer has finally come to Colorado after chilly, rainy spring.
