Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your concern in depth .
@ Devil`s Claw does have role in certain cases of osteoarthritis through its
herbal actions .
@ But as it increases stomach acidity , so contraindicated in patients
with gastric or duodenal ulcer .
@ Before using , you have to confirm that you are not having any internal
ulcer with long term use of ibuprofen .
Hope this will help you .
Always feel free to ask further doubts .
Thanks .
