Paracetamol

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Ibuprophen in a non steroidal anti inflammatory which should be used sparingly in patients with J pouch.
I prescribe Tab Paracetamol 500 mg for mild headaches and for severe ones I prescribe Tab tramadol. Tramadol is an opiod analgesic which requires a prescription.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
