she will need to specifically ask her doctor but i suspect he will not allow her to take buffered aspirin either. i agree that she may need more than just tylenol to control the pain so this is another item that needs to be addressed. many medical providers under-treat pain. your mother is 88 and deserves to have pain relief and be comfortable without being overly sedated. her doctor should be able to help with a different medication.
my mother has been told to quit taking nsaids specifically alieve and advil. can she take buffered aspirin for pain? . my mother is 88 years old. her renal blood count was high so doctor told her to quit taking advil for her leg/back and arm/shoulder pain. she was taking 4-6 pills in a 24 hour period most every day. she cannot get relief from extra strength tylenol. will a buffered aspirin work better and is it safe for her to take with her renal count being high?
