Obligatory moment of respectful silence for the generosity of the deceased, whose contributions made this, and many other, educational videos possible.

I took ibuprofen every day for over a year. Ended up throwing up blood one night with no idea why, went to the ER and got diagnosed anemic, as well as the cause of the bleeding of course linked to way too much ibuprofen. could have died in my sleep at any moment honestly. The affects of this really should be talked about more if you take it in large amounts!

I donated a kidney to my son almost 16 years ago and was told neither of us should take ibuprofen because of potential kidney damage. I never got a good explanation on why until this video. THANK YOU!

[robertdennis]

This young man has the heart of a teacher and I’m thankful he chose a career in medicine. One of our best

my wife almost died several years ago from taking Ibuprofen everyday with Coca Cola in the morning. It actually ate a whole in her stomach and she almost poisoned her own body. The surgeon had to cut out the bottom of her stomach and reattach the intestine. Then it had a small leak and she almost poisoned herself again due to that leak.
My wife is now in her last semester of nursing school and will be a nurse in December. We love these videos. I am the husband Greg typing on my wife's account. hahahaha

TLDW: Generally safe for the liver, it can thin out the protective barrier in the stomach but is pretty safe if taken here and there, kidneys are also fine but it causes vasoconstriction which can worsen existing kidney issues if taken daily for other issues. In summary, try not to take it daily or too frequently and you'll likely be fine. I'm not a doctor just summarizing his content.

From an average Joe with just a weird interest in the absolute miracle of the human body….
I have to say this guy is an AWESOME teacher.

[sebastien]

I’m a doctor from France and I must say THANK YOU for your great educational videos where I often learn new things, rediscover some others and where I am always amazed by the beauty of human anatomy.
Thank you for your pedagogy and your dedicated work 🙏🏼 your are a treasure of knowledge and spreading of this knowledge.
And, off course a BIG THANK YOU for the people who donated their body for this marvelous science your are producing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great to know that there are medical professionals out there that don't think we are all stupid, and are prepared to share the benefits of their expensive education and hard work, with those of us who chose other careers.

As someone who lives with endometriosis, it's either painkillers or the urge to kill oneself from pain. It's a struggle enough to get a doctor listen when we are actually in pain and we have real problem.

[kendraowens]

I took Ibuprofen for headaches and menstrual cramps for a couple of years, thank you for educating me on the side affects of it. I don't take any pain medication unless I really need it and can't bear the pain.

[caroljo]

Thank you for this video! I'm 71, and I've been living on Ibuprofen for about 40 years. Next time I go to the doctor's office, I'm going to ask her to check my kidney and liver functions.!

[charlespadilla]

I took Ibuprofen regularly throughout high school and college almost every day. I have sever migraines from my seizure disorder so I was actually given Ibuprofen for that reason. But one night I was sleeping, and as I snored, I could feel something coming up the back of my throat. Turns out it was blood and I was bleeding internally. I was rushed to the ER and the doctors told me I had severe damage to my esophagus and early liver damage, similar to that of an alcoholic. I obviously don't take it anymore but I watch how much I eat and stay from foods or substances that make my liver and esophagus flare up.

[devaannamalai]

This is one of the reasons why I keep coming to YouTube. The educational value provided by the narrator is phenomenal. I wish his videos are shown in schools for aspiring students interested in medical field.

[ChrisElm]

You should make a video on what energy drinks do to the body, you guys always explain everything so well and in such detail!

[design.simple]

I wish most doctors went into this much detail on what a medication I am taking is doing to my body. I am all for medication, but the risks always feel so opaque.

[davidtverberg]

Outstanding explanation; as a fellow physician I applaud your ability to explain something fairly complex (pharmacology) and do so in a way that a lay person could understand. Please keep up the good work and blessings to those individuals and families that donated their bodies for study.

[loragunning]

For those of us who live with chronic pain, we really don't have much choice in the matter. I have 3 herniated disks in my lower back (for the last 36 years) as well as a seriously degenerated left hip (for the last 10 years). I've had one hip surgery, which did not alleviate my chronic hip pain, and have used high doses of ibuprofen to manage my pain for DECADES. Seems those of us who manage chronic pain using ibuprofen are damned if we do (do to side effects) and damned if we don't (living with high levels of persistent pain). We need better solutions to chronic pain that what is currently available...

[SusanMCraig]

In nursing school, our cadaver lab was MOST valuable part of the anatomy/physiology classes. Those who donated their bodies are treated with utmost respect here. Thank you, Jonathan!

9:10. 9:40. 13:20. 14:29. Some people need to be educated on just dismissing taking ibuprofen on a daily basis. People have told me that their family member or friend is a PA and that taking all this ibuprofen is not going to hurt someone. Thank goodness I educate myself and try to stay away from medication due to its potential side effects. More people need to read up on this before spewing misinformation.

Thank you, sir, for your valuable video.
