I think your question is is it true that ibuprofen can affect the liver. Answer is yes; Nonprescription pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others) can damage your liver, especially if taken frequently, in higher doses than recommend or combined with alcohol.

Tylenol cause liver damage. My uncle was a pharmacist and I worked in research. A'll drugs are designed for shot term use and synthetic chemicals. We have long term issues.
