FDA Approved Drugs and User Comments: IBUPROFEN

Answer 1

800mg ibuprofen every 6 hrs for extreme and chronic pain (skeletal, muscular) seems to cause weak urine stream. Is it just me?

Comments

If your urine is less than usual, you should get the kidney function checked. If the amount is the same just the stream is weak, it's rare. Do you also feel muscle weakness somewhere else?
