Can u take ibprofen i'f i have a gastrointestinal virus?

Yes: If you can otherwise take Ibuprofen without problems (ie. You are not allergic to it or have other conditions restricting you from using it), then simply having a GI virus should not prevent one from taking ibuprofen.

Not Recommended: Ibuprofen is typically harsh on the stomach and intestines. If you have been experiencing stomach distress over the last few days the Ibuprofen may worsen these symptoms. I would speak to your health care provider about proper treatment options.
