Got kenalog shot 2 wks ago due to severe poison ivy reaction. period has started. is it safe to take ibuprofen for cramps now or not because of shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen OK: Kenalog shot is not good treatment for ivy allergic reaction. Potent cortisone gel or cream is basic. Clobetasol and augmented beta methasone most popular.
