A member asked:
Have been taking ibuprofen 800mg twice a day for a week now to help with cramps. do i need to be concerned of a stomach ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well: Never advised to take ibuprofen continuously. Now I would think your cramps should be gone after a week. So stop the ibuprofen and see how you feel. You must have some other symptoms or you would not be concerns. So if you have acid reflux or stomach issues see doctor
