Ibuprofen Could Cause Excess Bleeding During Gum Surgery

Added August 16th, 2005

A new study has indicated that anyone due to have gum surgery should refrain from taking the popular painkiller ibuprofen. According to results of the study, the risk of excess bleeding is twice as likely for those that are on ibuprofen compared to those that are not taking the painkiller. The researchers working on the project were from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine.

Fifteen people were involved in the study, and these people had two lots of surgery. Before one lot of surgery the test subjects were given ibuprofen, but did not take it before the second surgery. The results were then analyzed and it was found that when using ibuprofen the test subjects lost around 15 ml of blood, which was twice the amount lost in the case where no ibuprofen was administered.

There was also a difference of opinions between the test subjects when it came to the actual effectiveness of the ibuprofen. This is a medication that belongs to the group of treatments known as non-steroid anti-inflammatories. Some members of the test group stated that they did not feel as much pain when having taken ibuprofen, but others said that they felt more pain.
