The research explains that “significant” GI bleeding can be observed as early as three days after starting ibuprofen treatment.
The participants in the study were taking 800mg of ibuprofen three times a day for a period of 28 days.
The dose recommended by the NHS for adults is one or two 200mg tablets or capsules three times a day.
Although these are all possible side effects of taking ibuprofen, there are also some “common” and less serious signs to be aware of.
