Ibuprofen

when I worked in pharmacy was taught diabetics,asthmatics,ulcers,high blood pressure shouldn't take them....NSAID is non steroidal anti inflammatory drug

just pop 'effects' in there please

I'm pretty sure heartburn is common anyway as we get older. Probably nothing to do with the Ibuprofen. 10 mgs Omeprazole daily (prescription - don't pay Boots' ridiculous price) takes care of my acid indigestion. No side that I have noticed.

I get NO side effects from Ibu. Just don't take too many, or for a very long period of time.

It is one of the best pain relievers, over the counter or on prescription. IMO.

Blimey whats a NSAID? Yes also heartburn for me I have been taking them lately for pain from mouth ulcers shall stop immediately as I thought it was my diet?! Not sure if they are the correct stuff to take for mouth ulcers but I generally take absolutely nothing as I am a great believer in letting your body sort itself out if it possibly can.

All the NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation and heartburn. When I use voltarol (similar but stronger) I deliver it by suppository and have less problems.

Ana not sure but I know there are some! I'm sure someone will tell us.

What are the well-known long term issues?

I guess that a bunged up Tum is very usual that is what happens to me.
