Hi,
Yes, it can be taken. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly prescribed to treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, or sprain. It may be taken in the dose of 400 mg orally 3 times a day after a meal or snack or with a drink of milk. It will be less likely to upset your stomach.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
