Does aleve hurt the liver?

My father takes a lot of medicines, and I'm always worried about side effects. He sometimes takes Aleve for pain, so I was wondering, can it cause harm to the liver if taken regularly?

Look, if you take Aleve once in a while for a headache, it's not going to harm your liver. But if you're popping these pills daily like candy, then yes, it can put a load on both your liver and kidneys. Just talk to your doctor and stop self-medicating.

Bhai, hum log toh dawayi se thoda darte hi hain. Jyada goli khane se pet aur kaleje ko nuksan pahunchta hai. Agar dard jyada ho toh doctor sahab se pooch kar hi dawayi lena, khud se mat khana.

Any strong painkiller can potentially affect your organs if taken long-term. Since I have thyroid issues, I have to be very careful with medications and get regular blood tests. I suggest you consult your doctor and get your liver enzymes checked if you need pain meds often.

While short-term use is generally considered safe, long-term or high doses of Aleve can indeed affect liver function. It's always best to get a physician's advice rather than taking painkillers over the counter regularly.

These English medicines can be very hard on our internal system. I try to use warm compresses or herbal teas for my joint aches first to avoid taking too many pills. If you must take Aleve, do it under a doctor's advice and don't make it a daily habit.

I was taking NSAIDs regularly for my shoulder injury and my routine blood test showed elevated liver enzymes. My doctor made me stop them immediately. It's really not worth risking your liver, so use it very sparingly.
