A member asked:
Can i take ibuprofen after ct scan with contrast? i usually take it 3 x day per doctor. no one told me. i read online not to take.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its precautionary: aspirin like drugs lower kidney blood flow. This can increase the time the contrast stays in someone and increase its toxicity (very very slightly). In someone without diabetes nor other kidney problems it isnt likely to be a problem at all.
