Is it okay to take ibuprofen for headaches?
assistant
It depends on your individual circumstances. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and can cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, headache, heartburn, rash, and constipation. If you have any of these symptoms or are unsure about the safety of taking ibuprofen, consult with your doctor before using it for headaches.
