Hi my mom had a colonoscopy and egd we were told no to let her take ibuprofen but she did she took two 2hrs ago what will that cause or harm?

Tell the doctor: If she is a chronic ibuprofen user, it can cause her to ooze or bleed more & make the procedure uncomfortable. The doctor wants the cleanest view to see things so that the scope won't irritate the lining or cause small bleeds to not show the tissue well. So, it's up to him to cancel & reschedule with UR mom or not. Often for procedures they want patients to be off of NSAIDS (Ibuprofen) for a week.
