Ibuprofen on cycle?

[boshmn8]

Just a quick question, how much more harmful is it to take ibuprofen when I'm on my cycle. And should I be taking them? Or is there another anti inflammatory that would be better.

A pill here and there is ok imo. Dont make it a habit on cycle though

they do strain the liver when it comes to using oral steroids

i would also be concerned with using anti-inflammatories while lifting weights. not a smart idea to shut off inflammation to cover up an injury or post workout .. that is not only abusing your body but it is frankly beyond stupid. the smart thing to do is rest and repair the injury, not train through it by taking drugs

NSAIDS like ibuprofen and naproxen are harder on the kidneys. Tylenol is hard on the liver. i wouldn't use either for a prolonged period of time on a cycle. Your creatnine level on a basic metabolic panel will give you an idea on how your kidneys are doing.

What do you need them for?

Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs are extremely hard on the body. Don't take them unless 100% necessary.

That goes for on cycle or off cycle

How often do you need to take them?

 

[dylangemelli]

if you are taking them here and there, basically "as needed" then you will be just fine... you just clearly dont want to over do it

Like others have said do not make it a regular thing.
These NSAIDs are not healthy although some seem to think otherwise and it is actually shown by research that these drugs can actually negatively impact to our gonads and hence interfere with our endogenous testosterone production.

 

[RickRock]

In moderation and only when needed? Perfectly fine. Taking it daily just because? Not good.

It's really common sense

Not a big deal. Ibuprofen is much less stressful on the liver than Tylenol so stick to that if you have to take on cycle.
