My new employer requires a drug test, but I'm on ibuprofen 800 for my tennis elbow pain, is it ok?

I don't know what kind of drug test they will be performing, but I'm on ibuprofen 800 for my tennis elbow pain. Would the drug test test for ibuprofen? Can I ask the employer what kind of test they are testing? Thanks.

Ibuprofen is not something people look for. It is a over the counter pain reliever. NSAID.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Like Aspirin or Tylenol.

I think they are looking for illegal drugs not pain killers. It should be fine!

I wouldn't ask them anything, just tell whoever is taking your blood or hair folicle that you are taking the Ibuprofen for a little arm pain. You'll be fine. Good luck to you sir.
