Important cautions

Ibuprofen may cause a severe allergic reaction, especially in people allergic to aspirin. Symptoms include rash, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), hives, skin reddening, shock, or blisters. Stop use and seek medical help right away if an allergic reaction occurs. Also, NSAIDs like ibuprofen can cause severe stomach bleeding. The risk is higher if you take more than directed, use for longer than directed, or have a history of stomach ulcers. Do not take with other NSAIDs or with blood thinners unless advised by a doctor.
