Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Hi & Girlfriends, My internist, who has treated about 2,000 BI women in the DFW area, does not want women taking Ibuprofin, Acetamenafin, etc. because they do so much damage to the liver. My Long-term Pain Management doctor is the same. -- due to severe liver damage. Vicodin & derivatives of other Rx drugs for pain do not carry this potential side-effect. I would be on a morphine pump before I would take all the OTC drugs, I was taking before I knew what was causing all the pain. I don't want to ever have to face liver disease or cancer, and I doubt that many of you do. However, Ibuprofine, etc. is not a 'natural' substitute for anything. Hope this is helpful info!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Martha, Not to argue with you but what do you think is in most vicodin? Tylenol. So you need to check yourself on this one.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Just to add a few words to this, tylenol (acetaminophen)sp??? is one of the worse things you can do to your liver and is worse than Ibuprofen but the ibuprofen causes more stomach upset. Most vicodin is 500mg tylenol and 5mg vicodin, or lortab is 7.5 vicodin and the 500 mg tylenol, the isssue for me is that it is very addicting and I don't think that being addicted to drugs is something I need or want in my life, it also makes me fatigued, spacey and takes away my motivation, which I do not need. I also know I am suffering from inflammation and the tylenol and vicodin do nothing but mask pain, therefore not really treating it, I am not saying Ibuprofin is a great thing to take either, and I am trying the natural stuff like MSM and malic acid, glucosamine etc.....but when I am in allot of pain I will take the ibuprofin and I am not against a vicodin now and then, but when you are taking 10 or more a day I think that can be an issue to look at. They are very addicting. Well thats all I have to say on that subject.
