These medications should only be used under a doctor's care by patients with kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure or liver disease or by people who are over 65 or who take diuretic medications. NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of sudden kidney failure and even progressive kidney damage.

When taken as directed, regular use of aspirin does not seem to increase the risk of kidney disease in people who have normal kidney function. However, taking doses that are too large (usually more than six or eight tablets a day) may temporarily- and possibly permanently- reduce kidney function.

They can cause high blood pressure and kidney damage in some people. They can also cause potentially severe allergic reactions.

Exposure to any NSAID may cause acute kidney injury—and older age and pre-existing kidney problems are big risk factors. The risk for kidney damage is similar among all NSAIDs, so naproxen is neither better nor worse on the kidney than ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil).

Valtrex Interactions Drugs that cause kidney problems, like a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen or naproxen, can interact with Valtrex. Since Valtrex is very similar to acyclovir (Zovirax), you should not take the two medications at the same time.
