Yes. I am byzbor, your competing unit for this dimension.
How regularly were you taking them?
At the time on a daily basis. Taking two a month will be more than fine. I can take them now - thankfully stomach lining regenerates and gastro-intestinal issues, unless quite serious, will sort themselves out. But I avoid them where possible. Aspirin, which is an NSAID but has a different mechanism of action to ibuprofen and other NSAIDs, is my go-to pain killer these days.
I also like whisky, and I've recently moved to Japan.
1. You're in the right place for great yet reasonably priced whisky. 2. I hope you're enjoying Japan. I've been quite a few times, chiefly Tokyo, and found while it's a great place to visit, the social expectations and work expectations are soul-crushing. Time is valuable, and sitting in an office all day feels like a poor way to spend it.
As an aside, if you like beer try Tokyo Black. It's a porter that tastes like liquorish and coffee. Sounds terrible but it's delicious.
