Yes it is. It can be a major factor for the development of peptic ulcers which can cause severe pain and blood loss. It does this by inhibiting the production of protective molecules known as prostaglandins on the stomach.

Yes it is known to cause stomach problems in long-term use, perhaps after a period of 6months and so one. You are bound to suffer small intestine and large intestine bleeding as well as ulceration and perforation.

As with many medications ibuprofen is safe in small amounts. (For me) it became prolonged exposure that damaged my stomach severly. Over the courst of 3 years after a TBI I have bad migraines and was taking up to 18 200mg Ibuprofen daily. Up until about 6 months ago my doctor said "never again" and put me on a different medicine. With the damage done, I am now extremely sensitive to all medicines.

It is important to discuss it with your physician if you need to use a medication long-term to avoid significant risks.
