Can you get hold of addicted to ibuprofen?
There is a kid at my work that comes up everyday and asked for two packets of ibuprofen (4 pills) He says he's just stressed. Can you be addicted to them?
Answers:
Yes you can get addicted to any drug.
ibuprofen doesn't sedate, it can damage the stomach weakly,the people who are usually "addicted" to ibuprofen are getting it in a combination pill with codeine,eg:nurofen plus ,and it's the codeine that they bring back hooked on, it is a serious problem and pharmacy staff have had to be retrained
Some people self mar,and know ibuprofen will cause internal bleeding , though it's rare I've seen populace who use drugs that they know will harm them physically to feel they have punished themself.
Some use confident medications to feign an illness-if these pills are 200mg,hes buying 8 x 200mg=1600mg a day and taking every one, i'd expect him to get an spot in 6 months.
Someone has to explain that if he's stressed, ibuprofen will do nothing for him but seize rid of a headache.
Taking it daily doctors put patients on drugs to protect the stomach before the stomach is damaged.
Keep a professional distance,and impose sanctions to sell them if you feel he's harming himself.As you can see how below par he looks or not,as he may not be taking any!
If you have an HR dept, you may want to ask them what the policy on constant supply of painkillers is.
I don't have a sneaking suspicion that so. Just get upset stomach.
i think so, i feel i am addicted to ibuprofen, whenever i discern i have a headache even if its not that worse, i take ibuprofen and not paracetamol,
I don't know about that but you could end up with severe stomach ulceration/bleeding if you took plentifully of them for a long time.
negative, ibuprofen isn't a obsession forming pill.
No there is no possible way to be addicted to ibuprofen if anyone say otherwise they might possibly be retarded. drug addiction occurs in the reward center of the brain and ibuprofen does not stimulate that region of the brain at all. If he say the reason why he is taking them is because he is stressed he might just be misinformed but still getting a placebo effect. If he continues to come up don't involve the police but definitely inform the infantile lad that It does not relieve stress in any way shape or form and that all he will do by taking four of them a year is ruin his liver. I would be much more worried if someone came up trying to buy cough syrup, tripple c, or other drugs commonly abused
Yes, you can and very quickly addicted.
Okay, Gotta Blast! Catch You Later! ツ

Yes. My Sister Was & Paracetamol
Nope. Drugs next to addictive potential are "scheduled" drugs. Ibuprofen is OTC is definitely not addictive.
Now a patient may have some unexpected sort of psychological addiction to it to where they think they need to pocket it all the time, but in reality it's not addicting. In that luggage, it's due to the patient, not the drug that makes them addicted to it, if that makes sense. It doesn't distribute any euphoria and doesn't cause any dependence.
