You'll also want to avoid drinking alcohol while taking ibuprofen.

Everything in moderation :)

Aspirin is a blood thinner. But a lot of docs say, “Ppffftttt. That isn’t a blood thinner.”
But a lot of docs think the clot-shot is safe and effective against TheVid.

No way!

After a hard day of skiing, my knees love IBU and Blue Moon!

“It sounds like he should have told us never to take ibuprofen.It sounds like he should have told us never to take ibuprofen.”

Really. My PCPs, and the Hematologist I saw repeated it over and over. Acetaminophen instead of ibuprofen. I remember by a mnemonic: Ibuprofen has a “b” in it, and “b” is for bad.

Ibuprofen works wonders for your headaches, joint pain, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps, so it's probably no surprise that it's the second most common over-the-counter (OTC) drug behind paracetamol (Tylenol), according to a 2023 article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36876700/ in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences. You might get a prescription for ibuprofen if you have rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis to reduce the pain and swelling from these conditions. Ibuprofen might also be used for psoriatic arthritis, arthritis of the spine, and gouty arthritis.

Like other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen works by blocking an enzyme that makes prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. Although taking ibuprofen for an occasional headache or muscle ache is generally safe, taking it for a long time

https://www.healthdigest.com/290796/when-you-take-ibuprofen-daily-this-is-what-happens/

puts you at a higher risk for bleeding in your esophagus, stomach, or intestine. NSAIDs like ibuprofen can make it harder for your blood to form clots. Therefore, if you're already taking blood thinners, you should avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen because they increase your risk of excess bleeding.

Blood thinners and ibuprofen don't mix "

I just got prescribed Eloquis a few days ago. It is a couple hundred bucks per month with no generics available.

It was $500 a month until my husband bought a drug policy with his Medicare insurance. But what is a life worth?
