Senior Member follically challenged Posted August 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 Recently found out I had a mild case of stomach lining damage after being prescribed ibuprofen for two weeks.... turns out I was supposed to take the tablets WITH food, and as a result of not doing so i ended up with something called gastritis...Not fun Just wondering how you guys pop your fin? With food or without? And does this have any effect on the efficacy of the drug? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted August 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Immediately after breakfast, so with food. I think it slows down absoption to a certain extent, which is useful when you are cutting down 5mg tablets.

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted August 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 Aspirin is far preferable to ibuprofen in terms of your bodies ability to handle it without doing damage. However one study shows it inhibits minox effectiveness so do keep that in mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MissMyLongHair Posted August 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I try to take any pills (dutasteride, oral min, multivitamin) with breakfast because otherwise they make my stomach hurt slightly for a few minutes. The bigger the size of the pill(s) and the hungrier I am, the worse it hurts. Edited August 17, 2022 by MissMyLongHair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
