Has the intended user ever had asthma, wheezing, swelling of the face/lips, a rash, or a runny nose brought on by ibuprofen, aspirin, or another anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID)? No Yes

Ibuprofen should not be taken if aspirin or another NSAID has caused these reactions. Please speak to a pharmacist.

Does the intended user have, or have they ever had, a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or bleeding from the stomach or gut?

Ibuprofen can irritate the stomach lining and cause bleeding.

Ibuprofen can make stomach ulcers and bleeding worse. A pharmacist will review before any supply.

Does the intended user have asthma or another long-term breathing condition? No Yes

Anti-inflammatory painkillers can trigger breathing problems in some people with asthma. A pharmacist will review.

Is the intended user already taking another anti-inflammatory painkiller (for example ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, or aspirin for pain)? No Yes, or not sure

Taking more than one anti-inflammatory painkiller at a time increases the risk of stomach, kidney and heart problems. A pharmacist will review.

Is the intended user taking a blood-thinning or anti-clotting medicine (for example warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, clopidogrel, or low-dose aspirin)? No Yes

Ibuprofen increases the risk of bleeding with these medicines. A pharmacist will review before any supply.

Does the intended user have heart failure, heart disease, high blood pressure, or have they had a heart attack or stroke? No Yes

Anti-inflammatory painkillers can raise blood pressure and affect the heart. A pharmacist will review.

Does the intended user have kidney or liver problems? No Yes

Ibuprofen can affect the kidneys and needs caution in liver problems. A pharmacist will review.

Is the intended user taking any of these medicines: a blood-pressure medicine ending in "-pril" or "-sartan", a water tablet (diuretic), a steroid, an SSRI antidepressant, lithium, or methotrexate?

These can interact with ibuprofen.

No Yes, or not sure

These medicines can interact with ibuprofen (affecting the kidneys, blood pressure, or bleeding/levels). A pharmacist will review before any supply.

Is the intended user pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding? No Yes, or possibly

Ibuprofen should be avoided in pregnancy, especially the last 3 months, and reviewed when breastfeeding. A pharmacist will review - paracetamol is often a safer choice.

Long-standing pain should be looked at properly.

No Yes

If painkillers are needed most days for more than 10 days, please see a pharmacist or GP to review what is causing the pain.
