Which Drugs are Harmful to Your Kidneys?

Every drug you put into your body passes through your kidneys. If the drug is not taken following your healthcare provider's instructions, or if it is an illegal substance, it can cause injury to the kidneys.

Pain Medications
Your kidneys could be damaged if you take large amounts of over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen. None of these medicines should be taken daily or regularly without first talking to your healthcare provider. Thousands of people have damaged their kidneys by using these medicines regularly for too long.

Alcohol
Heavy drinking can hurt both your kidneys and your liver. Alcoholics have a high risk of developing both kidney and liver failure

Antibiotics
Antibiotics can also be dangerous if they are not taken correctly. People with kidney disease need to take a smaller amount of antibiotics than people with healthy kidneys. Take only medicines ordered for you by your healthcare provider.

Prescription Laxatives
In general, over-the-counter laxatives are safe for most people. However, some prescription laxatives that are used for cleaning the bowel (usually before a colonoscopy) can be harmful to the kidneys.

Contrast Dye (used in some diagnostic tests such as MRIs)
Some medical tests called "imaging tests" contain a type of dye called "contrast dye." Examples of imaging tests are MRIs and CT-scans. Contrast dyes can be harmful to people who have kidney disease. Not all imaging tests contain contrast dyes.

Illegal Drugs
Most street drugs, including he**in, co***ne and ecstasy can cause high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure and even death, in some cases from only one use. Co***ne, he**in and amphetamines also can cause kidney damage.

What should you do?
Do not take any medicine, drug or substance unless you are under a healthcare provider's supervision.
Do not take pills or substances given to you by a stranger or even a friend.
If you do take a medication or other substance and feel ill, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
If you need to have an imaging test or colonoscopy, let your healthcare provider know if you have kidney disease or are at risk for getting it.
