The National Kidney Foundation recommends acetaminophen, the active ingredient in TYLENOL®, as the pain reliever of choice for occasional use in patients with underlying kidney disease.
It is important to note that taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin (Bayer®), naproxen sodium (Aleve®), and ibuprofen (Advil®, MOTRIN® IB), can affect kidney function in people with kidney disease. TYLENOL® does not.
If you are under a doctor's care for any condition, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter or prescription medicines, including TYLENOL®.
It is important to always read and follow the label and not use TYLENOL® products with other products containing acetaminophen. When taken in overdose amounts, TYLENOL® products can cause severe liver damage. To learn more about taking acetaminophen appropriately, visit GetReliefResponsibly.com.
