Does anyone know if it's safe to take Advil. When your on Venetoclax for CLL

Hi, I was strongly advised not to take Ibuprofen whilst on Venetoclax. I was allowed paracetamol but had to stop anti inflammatory meds even though I needed them ☹️

‘Do not take aspirin (salicylic acid), non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxen), Celebrex (celecoxib) etc. as these can all increase the risk of bleeding. Please consult with your healthcare team regarding use of these agents and all over the counter medications/supplements while on therapy.’

Oh thank you for your reply! Yes I decided against it. However it makes sense to me now that you made me think about it. Thank you!
