Is it safe to take over the counter pain medication with kidney disease?
My mother has kidney disease, and also suffers with frequent headaches. Is it safe for her to take over the counter pain medication, such as tylenol or advil?

Non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAIDS) meds like ibuprofen, aleve, naproxen, mobic, Daypro are not good to the kidney, so try to avoid.
She can only have Tylenol, not Advil or anything else.
