A member asked:
I woke up with a bad headache, is it okay to take ibuprofen? i took 20 mg of prednisone wednesday morning but haven't since. is it out of my system?

Be careful!: Yes, you can take ibuprofen - but only as directed. Please call your Dr about the prednisone! This is NOT a medication for taking PRN! It is not a question of it being out of your system - it's way more complicated. Only use after Dr advice and always taper off. Please - it's important. Consult Dr ASAP - Best!
