Ibuprofen and pregnancy

Ibuprofen is not usually recommended in pregnancy, unless it's prescribed by a doctor, especially if you're more than 20 weeks pregnant.

This is because ibuprofen can affect your baby's circulation and kidneys.

A short course of ibuprofen (up to 3 days) may be OK, but it will depend on how many weeks pregnant you are and the reason you need to take the medicine.

Other treatments may be more suitable for you.

Always talk to a doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen if you're pregnant.
