Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

What are you treating? It is ok to take ibuprofen and it may help after a steroid course since it also decreases inflammation. SO, if you were taking the steroids to decrease inflammation, then the ibuprofen will also decrease inflammation. You should take it with food to protect your stomach lining. Best of luck to you!
