Weekend Doctor: Ibuprofen usage

By Jason Wartgow, APRN-CNP McComb Family Practice

You have sore muscles, so you take ibuprofen. You have a headache, so you take ibuprofen. You have arthritis pain, so you take ibuprofen. However, is it really safe to take ibuprofen regularly?

Ibuprofen is a pain reliever that is an over-the-counter, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for a range of aches and pains, including joint pain, muscular pain, toothaches, menstrual pain, and arthritis. It is available as tablets, capsules, syrup, as well as topical gel that you can rub into your skin. It is also available as an ingredient in combination remedies. While you can buy these over the counter, there are some formulations that are prescription only.
