Been taking Ibuprofen 3 times a day for the last 3 weeks and now I read this:

I know they are saying the risk is 4 in every 1000, but just the same..............

No I wouldn't do this Claire without first consulting your Gp, as the article says the risks are small and affect only 4 in every 1000, never stop medications without checking first.

Hi Claire,

You need to see your G.P. about the Ibuprofen.
I do not take it because my G.P. has always said it is not advisable if you suffer from high Bp.

Read this article.
http://www.highbloodpressureinfo.org/si ... rofen.html It explains about the side effects and possible kidney damage.
