My brother takes OTC pain relievers every single day, and he has been doing so for about 6 months now. He does it because he has really rotten teeth and no dental insurance. I'm just wondering what kind of problems this could cause his body? The pills he take are half aspirin and half acetaminophen.

KIDNEY DAMAGE. More specifically, it causes papillary necrosis of the kidney. He's probably OK with 6 months of use, depending on how much he takes every day. Combination products that are aspirin and tylenol mixed together are harder on your kidneys than aspirin or ibuprofen alone. Tylenol is mostly hard on your liver.
