Overview Of Ibuprofen (Advil)

Ibuprofen And Allergies

Some patients who use ibuprofen may develop an allergic reaction to the medication. In the first stages of an allergic reaction, the individual might notice hives forming on the skin. These may be itchy, and blisters could form too. The patient may then have difficulty breathing, and their face, tongue, and lips could swell. Individuals who develop these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. Patients who have known allergies to other medications should check with a doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to ibuprofen could be at an increased risk of a more serious reaction if they are exposed to the medication again. For this reason, individuals should inform all healthcare staff of their ibuprofen allergy, and they should ask whether it is safe for them to take other anti-inflammatory medications.
