Ibuprofen
24 reviewsReviews
I took it alongside other pain killers and it has been good
I was taking ibroprofen for back pain regularly for about a year. In the small print about the side effects it says that it causes ' unusual bleeds' .
It did this to me in my eye. A blood clot formed and pressed on the optic nerve which resulted in me losing half the sight on one of my eyes.
No side affects
Be cautious if you have any stomach problems or are prone to constipation.As pain relief its very good but definetely use with caution
Ibuprofen worked for me to relieve joint pain in both knees due to osteoarthritis. It usually takes about 1-2 hours to become fully effective and enable a better range of leg movements. A 200mg capsule lasts up to 8 hours. I also take omnoprazole
I would caution people to check with their doctor before taking as it can interact with certain medicines and exacerbate some conditions i.e. Gastric ulceration.
Panadol is ineffective for me.
