I am completely confused due to so many types of Ibuprofen and I am unable to decide which one to take. Any suggestions.

[@NurseRyan]

Hi Harpal, I always recommend speaking to your healthcare provider for specific suggestions! There are so many different options which your healthcare provider can hopefully narrow down for you. Also, doing your own research can help you find a drug that best fits your situation 😀

Can you fail a drug test for thc if you take ibuprofen?

[@NurseRyan]

Hi Eric, according to a study done in 1990, there is a "small likelihood of a false-positive immunoassay test result for cannabinoids, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates after the acute or chronic ingestion of ibuprofen..." "Of the 510 urines collected from 102 individuals", one individual taking 1200 mg of Ibuprofen had a false-positive test result. Here is the link to the article: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2323039/ This is pretty old information and I have no experience with this topic, so I would definitely recommend speaking to a professional. - Ryan
