A member asked:
Can i give blood at a blood drive if i took ibuprophen for soreness from working out at the gym earlier today? i took it at around 7a.m., i want to give blood around 4p.m
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: that will not interfere. However, the people running the drive will have a list of medications and other health questions to ask prior to donation.

Give blood: The blood drawing team is the only one who can answer that. They have their own rules.
