How does ibuprofen interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, antihypertensives, or corticosteroids and what precautions are necessary to avoid adverse effects?
Ibuprofen may reduce the efficacy of antihypertensives like ACE inhibitors and increase the risk of bleeding with anticoagulants such as warfarin. Monitor closely.
When combined with corticosteroids, ibuprofen increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers. Use with caution and consider gastrointestinal protective agents.
Pairing ibuprofen with anticoagulants can heighten bleeding risk. Concurrent use with antihypertensives may diminish their effects. With corticosteroids, there’s a higher ulcer risk.
