Ibuprofen and CF

Heh I would have to take 2730mg a day due to weight and suggested doseage. Also, I brought it up to my CF doc, and due to my past issues with lung bleeds, they said no way. Ibuprofen is a blood thinner, and even if you are on high levels of vitamin K, ibuprofen seems to win that fight due to their differences. I'd love to try it, but I just got my bleeds under control. Nearly 3 GRAMS of that daily is a tad crazy. A small part of me wants to give it a try though.

You are right about the dosage requirements. I take more than that though - 3200mg a day.

The doctor should put you on Vit K, a PPI and closely watch your labs if you do the high dose IBU therapy.

For whatever reason, they don't advocate the IBU therapy at the tampa cf center. Also, haven't they showed that NSAID's (ibuprofen and the like) raise heart attack and stroke risk? With such high doses, you would think that would raise the marginal risk of regular doses.

I'm taking about 1200 mg a day and I feel like crap if I don't take it. When I start to see blood in my sputum I cut it back for a day or two. If you think about though, less inflammation may actually prevent the bleeds.
