I had a tooth pulled 4 days ago a was advised to take ibuprofen 600mg to relieve the post operation pain. I did this on the first two days 4 times a day [ as told ] and once on the third and forth day , to enable me to sleep. It s been very effective. Thinking however that everything come at a price, I went on line to research the overall effects of Ibuprofen on health , and wasn t too happy about what I read. How much have I compromised my health by taking what I described above , should I stop using it immediately, and what , if anything can be done to counteract it s effects ?
