A member asked:

I'm having a blood test to check for diabetes in 2 hours. i have a headache can i take 600mg of ibuprofen, will that affect my test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ibuprofen with WATER: Hi. Ibuprofen taken with WATER is fine and will not disrupt your glucose tolerance test. Obviously you cannot take it with a sugar-containing beverage!

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
