A member asked:
Can you take advil (ibuprofen) before thyroid biopsy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: It is better to check with your doctor to avoid interaction with other medications that you may be taking or be given at the time of biopsy.

Thank
Yes, but better not: Hi, i will perform an fna even if the patient has taken advil recently, but i prefer that patients take tylenol (acetaminophen) rather than Ibuprofen both before and after the biopsy if necessary.
