Re: [RC] ibuprofen in your saddle bags - Chrystal WoodhouseExcept Tylenol carries it' s own risks I know Dr.s who won't use it ( mostly liver issues but other nasty side effects as well) & I don't either, bottom line i if you do come off and really hurt yourself or there is a CHANCE of head injury nobody should be taking anything anyway!!:-) Chrystal
I, actually, have rarely taken it myself. I mostly carry it (& just about everything else I carry) to give to other people who are in need. But, I think I will switch to the tylenol since I don't know what others may use regularly.

If you take it regularly, it will slow clotting if you are injured and bleeding. No big deal for a little boo boo. But if you come off your horse and are seriously injured, especially a head trauma, do NOT take ibuprofen. Tylenol is a safer alternative.
