Episode: Ibuprofen Pharmacology
Description: On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology Podcast, I discuss ibuprofen pharmacology.
Ibuprofen can raise the concentrations of lithium and increase the risk for toxicity.

I discuss important drug interactions on the podcast, be sure to check out my latest project which is a 200+ page book on managing drug interactions in primary care.
