Here is the side effect of Ibuprofen, No relation with delaying your period.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects from ibuprofen are rash, ringing in the ears, headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation and heartburn. NSAIDs reduce the ability of blood to clot and therefore increase bleeding after an injury. Ibuprofen may cause ulceration of the stomach or intestine, and the ulcers may bleed. Sometimes, ulceration can occur without abdominal pain, and black, tarry stools, weakness, and dizziness upon standing (orthostatic hypotension) due to bleeding may be the only signs of an ulcer. NSAIDs reduce the flow of blood to the kidneys and impair function of the kidneys. The impairment is most likely to occur in patients who already have impaired function of the kidney or congestive heart failure, and use of NSAIDs in these patients should be cautious. People who are allergic to other NSAIDs, including aspirin, should not use ibuprofen. Individuals with asthma are more likely to experience allergic reactions to ibuprofen and other NSAIDs. Fluid retention (edema), blood clots, heart attacks, hypertension and heart failure have also been associated with the use of NSAIDs.
No..ibuprophen just helps the pain that comes along with cramps but i hear advil works much better
I don't know about slowing down a period, but I wouldn't use ibuprofen unless you really need it, or there aren't other safer drugs that you could use. All drugs have side effects, but ibuprofen can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. It can also increase your risk of having other serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation.
