My husband has Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Failure, has been advised, under no circumstances can he take ibuprofen. Aspirin is also verboten because he has a strange delayed bleeding disorder in which platelets build clots and then apparently destroy the clots. And, as of last week, he was diagnosed with nonalcoholic cirrhosis. Does this mean Tylenol is also out?
