"When can I take ibuprofen after surgery?"

It is recommended to consult with your surgeon before taking ibuprofen after surgery. Your surgeon will be able to assess the risk of bleeding associated with your surgery and determine if it is safe for you to start taking ibuprofen. In general, if the surgery went well, there were no complications, you are not taking any other medications that increase the risk of bleeding, and you have healthy kidneys and heart, it may be appropriate to start ibuprofen to reduce the use of oxycodone. It is important to confirm with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
