Question:

i work over night and operate machines at work

Answers:
Hi there are a few side effects of ibuprofen, but it has the least gastrointestinal side effects amongst all the other NSAIDS. The side effects of ibuprofen can be divided into:

1) Gastrointestinal:
a) nausea
b) dyspepsia
c) GI ulceration with or without bleeding
d) raised liver enzymes
e) diarrhoea
f) esophageal ulceration

2) Neurological:
a) headache
b) dizziness
c) confusion

3) Cardiovascular:
a) salt and fluid retention
b) hypertension
c) heart failure

4) Others:
a) hyperkalaemia
b) renal impairment
c) bronchospasm
d) rash

I do not think that you have to tell your boss if you're drinking this medicine, coz if does not really affect your work. Unless you feel you have a reason for alerting him to this medication, then perhaps you should sound out. But ibuprofen is quite a commonly used NSAID, and it should not pose much of a problem.

Hope this helps. :D

Other Answers:
depends on how much you take, a general over the counter dose should not make you drowsy, but the prescription strength might, if you are concerned talk to you doctor or a pharmacist.
