Yet this is almost never mentioned or discussed...I’m assuming bc the GI bleeding risk/liver toxicity is much more of a concern for doctors.
Many studies done by the ncbi support their use. I take their results with a grain of sand.
Here’s one: xxx.pnas.org/content/115/4/e715.full - ibuprofen causing hypogonadism in young men.
