Ibuprofen can cause problems if overused, but then so can aspirin and acetaminophen. Ibuprofen isn’t as bad as acetaminophen in my opinion and it seems to be more effective.

Yeah, if this is the main side effect it’s still a better trade-off then acetaminophen has.

Yessir. Acetaminophen is absolutely brutal on the liver.

Do you know what is considered to be “overused”? I take two, 200 mgs, twice a day, most days (2 in a.m. and 2 at dinner for 800mg per day or less). As a female nearing retirement, I am not worried about my sperm count. I have back pain issues, and seem to be so much better with the regular ibuprofen.

Yep, it is more effective for me too.

Acetaminophen when used over long periods of time or in conjunction with alcohol will cause liver damage.
