A member asked:
Can taking ibuprofen cause you to get stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stretch marks are caused by rapid changes in weight, for example, pregnancy and even growth spurts during puberty. Some people are more prone to developing them than others; genetics plays a large role but Ibuprofen is not associated with their development.
