Ibumousse (ibuprofen)

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

When it is used on unbroken skin this medicine is unlikely to be absorbed in sufficient amounts to affect other medicines that are being taken by mouth. However, if it is used with aspirin or other NSAIDs, eg ibuprofen taken by mouth, there may be an increased chance of side effects.

For more information about the interactions of ibuprofen taken by mouth see the factsheets linked below.
