Can you take Ibuprofen with Ramipril?

Answer 1

ibuprofen and ramipril may interact, and have the potential to cause kidney failure. The likelihood of this occurring however varies greatly from patient to patient, and depends on factors including (but not limited to) what dosage of ramipril they are taking, how well their blood pressure is controlled, their reason for wanting to take ibuprofen, and any other underlying existing medical conditions (especially any affecting the kidney). There is no blanket answer to this question, and it is vitally important to discuss the possible consequences with your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen, or any other over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, while on ramipril.

Answer 2

often doctors prescribe prilosec to be taken with ibuprofen in case there is any ulceration problems from the painkiller. The lack of acid caused by the PPI or prilosec means less chance of any problem ( stomach bleeding) from the advil becoming worse. Acid reduction is not only about stopping heartburn, it is also off label for use with ibuprofen. So, I suppose its ok to take ibuprofen with prilosec for no reason at all as well.

Answer 3

There was a double blind study done on this and renatidine signficantly provides protective effect preventing stomach irritation and bleeding.

Please check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Answer 4

I've just done my back in and have taken Ibuprofen even though I am on Lanzaprazole. I feel the short term benefit is worth the risk. I will stop taking Ibuprofen as soon as the back gets better.

Answer 5

as per my information doctors priscribe ranitidine along with atibiotics. but it may change from person to person
