Ibuprofen particularly can mess up kidneys and stomach lining with chronic use especially. Meanwhile Tylenol tends to be a bit harder on the liver but is otherwise generally considered safer. This based on my hospital stay as a patient and the doctors veering me away from ibuprofen and toward tylenol, and my wife who is an RN.
I very much avoid both to the best of my ability but ibuprofen in particular (even though for me it’s WAY more effective), and the only time I’ve really used either with any temporary regularity was with kidney stone, pneumonia, sepsis (all three at same time, mind you), and omicron covid I think it was. Tylenol is generally considered to be safer than Ibuprofen, unless you have preexisting liver issues.
You believe what you want. It doesn’t change the fact that literally tens of thousands of people end up in the hospital each year because of acetaminophen and that it is the leading cause of liver failure in multiple countries. Unless you have specific kidney problems, or are one of the minority of people (<20%) with asthma who react poorly to it.
Ibuprofen carries risk with continued use. Acetaminophen caries risks with a single over dose, which is only a couple of pills over the daily recommended maximum dosage.
My dude, what are you actually talking about? Call me a skeptic but I must take with a massive grain of salt what you say when you confuse Tylenol as being an NSAID — something that is very easily looked up; so I can’t even tell if you’re confusing studies conducted on Ibuprofen versus Tylenol.
The studies you mention elsewhere:
Yes, if you take FOUR GRAMS within a 24 hour period, that can cause damage. People are dumb and don’t read labels and take in excess.
If you take the recommended dosage of 325mg even every 4 hours as opposed to 6, you’re still under 2 grams in a 24-hour period.
Yes, Tylenol is less effective than Ibuprofen for things like headaches and inflammatory pains because — again — it is NOT a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Don’t be stupid: Don’t take Tylenol with Alcohol, use it acutely, and follow the instructions and you’ll be fine so long as you discuss with your doctor. Not rocket science.
Obviously the dose makes the poison. You can literally poison yourself by drinking water in excess, too.
You need to start reading things more closely. Are you stoned right now or something? If you actually read what I wrote, you would recognize that I had already read those sources. If you read more closely, you would probably know that Tylenol is also not an NSAID.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an NSAID.
Ibuprofen is.

FFS, just read my other comment which linked to sources.

Fine you’re right I should have been very specific and said over the counter pain killers.
Now address the actual point.
Already did. This discussion is useless. Bye.
