Your Dr should let you know. No ibuprofen type meds is what I was told.

It’s imperative that you discuss any supplements and prescription and over the counter drugs that you are taking or wanting to take with your oncologist.

I used Advil (3 at a time every 6 hours, and Claritin D once every 24 hours, you can take up to 800 Milligrams every 8 hours of Ibuprofen if needed. If you can’t take aspirin you can do the same with Tylenol. But your nurse and Oncologist should go over what is best for you. Everyone is different.

Prayers for you 🙏🏻
