That's a really important question to raise before your next infusion! While the search results don't contain specific information about ibuprofen interactions with nivolumab/relatlimab (Opdualag), this is something to take seriously.
Here's what is known about infusion reactions with nivolumab:
- Infusion-related reactions can happen during or shortly after treatment
- Symptoms can include chills, fever, dizziness, itchy skin or rash, and shortness of breath
- Some reactions appear days or weeks later
- The immune system can overreact, treating the drug like an invader
Taking 800mg of ibuprofen alongside immunotherapy could potentially affect how your body responds, as it may interact with the immune response that the treatment relies on.
Please contact your oncology care team before your infusion if you've taken or plan to take ibuprofen. They need to know about all medications — even over-the-counter ones — to keep you safe. Don't wait until you're in the infusion chair to mention it!
