i would take the alternatives like aspirin, which also helps thin your blood durig cycle. or any of the other alt's ibuprofin, naproxin, etc. just keep it simple, try and stay away/or dont add things that are also bad for your liver
It really depends on what works better for you. I need about 800mg of Ibuprofin when I get head-aches or joint pain etc.. If you take it only for pain then there is nothing for you to worry about.
