Contraindications to Ibuprofen:

Alert!: US Boxed Warning

  • It is contraindicated in cardiac bypass graft surgery.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and so Ibuprofen has been associated with an increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.
  • The risks increase when it is taken for a longer duration.
  • NSAIDs increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal perforations, bleeding, and ulcerations.
  • Patients, especially at risk of getting gastrointestinal related complications to include older patients, those with a previous history of peptic ulcer disease, and patients taking other medicines that may cause gastric ulceration.
  • Hypersensitivity or allergy to ibuprofen, or any of its components.
  • History of asthma, urticaria, or bronchial hyperreactivity to aspirin and other NSAIDs
  • Patients who had CABG performed
  • These conditions may affect neonates:
    • Pulmonary atresia
    • Coarctation of the aorta
    • Tetralogy of Fallot
  • Patients with severe thrombocytopenia and intracranial bleeding are at greater risk.
  • Necrotizing enterocolitis
  • Grave renal insufficiency
  • Heart failure
  • Hepatic impairments ranging from mild to severe
  • Hyperkalemia
  • The third trimester is the most important.
  • During breastfeeding

Other warnings:

  • Ibuprofen can increase bleeding time due to defective platelet adhesion or aggregation. It can also be associated with severe blood disorders.
  • Hepatic impairment can occur. It is important to monitor LFTs
