A member asked:
Why use ibuprofen instead of dipirona?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safer: Dipirona (/metamizole) is banned in over 30 countries due to risk of dangerously lowering white blood cells. There is no superior function or balancing benefit to this drug over the many other, safer alternatives available, so cannot recommend its use.
