Yes! NSAIDS, like ibuprofen cause vasoconstriction, they make the arteries in your kidneys smaller so no blood can get to it... this can cause acute renal failure if you take ibuprofen regularly or at high doses. It's a cumulative effect... so just by taking ibuprofen regularly for a while can damage your kidneys. It can also cause fluid retention, aplastic anemia, GI distress (upset), and ulcers!

If you look on the label of the most common over-the-counter painkillers (acetaminophen, aka Tylenol, and ibuprofin, aka Advil or Motrin IB) it says that too much ibuprofin can cause stomach bleeding, and too much acetaminophen can cause liver damage.
