Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing substances that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
It is used to reduce fever and treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps or injuries.
Commonly encountered side effects of Ibuprofen include: hemorrhage, vomiting, anemia, decreased hemoglobin, eosinophilia and hypertension. Other side effects seen with larger doses of its intake or long term use include: upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, upper gastrointestinal tract ulcer, dizziness and dyspepsia.
Kindly consult your doctor and take the dose as recommended. Kindly do the follow-up as advised and necessary.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
