Experiences with

Ibuprofen

I have horrendous toothache and a cant been seen until tomorrow, dentist said to take ibuprofen, I know we shouldn’t while on pred but I can’t see it listed in the medication instructions leaflet. Will it be ok to take for 24 hours?

I’ve been taking ibuprofen since Friday for muscle inflammation. I can’t take a lot of pain meds so ibuprofen is the only one that works. I get frequent muscle pain in my upper left back. Someone on fb has said we’re not allowed to take ibuprofen? Why not? I don’t take aspirin

I am taking daily aspirin and hydroxycarbamide and I know I cannot take oral ibuprofen but I have a painful arthritic shoulder at the moment. Does anyone know if I can use ibuprofen gel on the area or is it not advisable? Thanks

It’s starting to calm down now, however my gp has prescribed Ibuprofen gel, does anyone know if that have the same side effects as taking the tablets? I don’t want to be off the aspirin too long.

My doc suggested I take a 5-7 day course of ibuprofen, providing the pharmacist said it was ok to do so while on prednisone. The pharmacist said yes, 5-7 days would be ok, but at the least hint of stomach upset, I’m to stop it immediately. He also said to take it with food.

Anyone been using ibuprofen gel for fibromyalgia pain? I was using it a lot now find it is the cause of my fast heart beat. I’m stopping using it now.

Ibuprofen and Naproxen do not help. I've heard there is an alternative that can be prescribed, but can't remember the name of it. Anyone know?

Age, menopause, disease progression or additional RA have made some bad days intolerable now. Other symptoms of Stills and associated AI diseases like Interstitial Cystitis and Lichen

Inflammatory pain is a constant issue, but I don’t know what to use now that works as well as ibuprofen. Any recommendations?

I’m having a difficult time with Tylenol vs Ibuprofen. Tylenol just doesn’t help very much, where as ibuprofen really helps so much better. With my PBC, is it much better to always stick with Tylenol for aches and pains, or can I take ibuprofen? Thank you for the help!!!

Worst pain have ever had - because I have high blood pressure am not meant to take ibuprofen and was prescribed cocodamol which has done nothing for pain. Any suggestions? I see clinical practitioner tomorrow so would love response before then. Thanks

Also, if anyone has had an ibuprofen or zyrtec substitute compounded, can you please tell what they used as a filler?

There are sites that warn against ibuprofen with a PBC diagnosis (stage 0-1) and then there is the fact that ibuprofen does not get processed by the liver but acetaminophen does. What advice have you been given for the occasional emergency use of NSAIDS? Thanks Susanne

have started to suffer with this and found only Ibuprofen helps along with my regular lupus meds. any advice would be appreciated. !!

Being on blood thinning tablets (Rivaoxaban) means I can’t take ibuprofen, this natural vitamin was recommended to me for muscle and joint pains, hope someone can help. Regards, Stuart
