How does ibuprofen impact the respiratory system and are there concerns for patients with pre-existing lung conditions?
1. Ibuprofen can exacerbate asthma by causing bronchospasm. Caution is advised for patients with respiratory conditions.
2. In some asthma patients, ibuprofen triggers bronchoconstriction, which can worsen symptoms or initiate an asthma attack.
