Re: Does Ibuprofen Raise Blood Pressure Too? Elaine? Others??

[Guest guest]

Barb....I cut and pasted the following from the website Wedmd....

Who should not take ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine?

  • Do not take ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine if you have taken a

monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine

(Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A very dangerous

drug

interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

• Do not take ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine without first talking to

your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to aspirin, any other NSAID, or

other pain reliever.

  • Before taking ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you

       · drink more than three alcoholic beverages a day,

       · have thyroid problems,

       · have diabetes,

       · have an enlarged prostate or difficulty urinating,

       · have heart disease, or

       · have high blood pressure.

  • You may not be able to take ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine, or you may

require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you

have any of the conditions listed above.

• Do not take ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine without first talking to

your doctor if you are pregnant. It is especially important not to use ibuprofen

during the last three months of pregnancy unless specifically directed to do

so by a doctor because it may cause problems in the unborn child or

complications during delivery.

• Ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine passes into breast milk and may affect

a nursing infant. Do not take this medicine without first talking to your

doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

• Do not use ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to treat a child younger

than 12 years of age unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
