Side Effects

Potential Side Effects: Oral NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, can sometimes cause kidney issues, exacerbate peptic ulcers, or trigger allergic bronchial reactions in certain asthmatic patients. Even though topically applied ibuprofen gets absorbed systemically less than oral forms, these complications can occur, albeit rarely. Hence, individuals with a history of peptic ulcers, kidney issues, asthma, or any intolerance to aspirin or ibuprofen (oral) should get a doctor's opinion before using the gel.
