It's a question you should ask your specialist. I expect their answer will depend on how well your blood counts are holding up. That's because all CLL treatments tend to suppresses them, with neutropenia particularly common with venetoclax and ibuprofen possibly suppressing counts further. My specialist only recommended Tylenol/Panadol/APAP (acetamenophen/paracetamol), for this reason.
