Painkillers like Ibucon Plus should not be used if there is decreased kidney function as they may reduce the supply of blood to the kidneys. Also, long-term use can also impair the normal kidneys. Therefore, it is important that you talk to your doctor in case you have reduced kidney function. You should use Ibucon Plus exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
