Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Every time I take nurofen with 6-10 hours I have an angina attack! I take the nitrolingal spray once under the tounge and within 5-10 mins I feel better. Sometimes I need 1 more spray. It could be coincidence but it s a big one then. Today I was in the pharmacy Lucky me, when an attack came on they did my blood pressure and it was 78/79 with 120 pulse I felt awful. I hope you can help.
Nurofen(Ibuprofen) can cause heart and kidney problems in elderly. I believe you should avoid taking Nurofen instead you can use Paracetamol 650 mg two to three times a day . It is much safer. If you really need painkiller than you can take Etoricoxib 90 mg in a day...
