NO! It is considered an to be an NSAIDs ~ meaning Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. Muscle relaxants or muscle relaxers can only be prescribed by a doctor or a PA ~ or someone who has the authority to prescribe medicine. But NO, it is NOT a "muscle relaxer! Also, IF you MUST take ANY kind of NSAIDs, PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN to have SOMETHING on your stomach, whether it be a couple of Saltine crackers, to 8oz of milk or 16 oz of water, as NSAIDs are VERY HARD on ones stomach. It can cause GI bleeds and stomach ulcers. If the GI bleeding from the stomach ulcers is not taken care of, one can die from due to lack of blood or from all of ones organs shutting down. As we all know, once the kidneys shut down, it's only a matter of time before the person dies. (I know from personal experience, as I almost died due to GI bleeding.

No, ibuprofen is not a muscle relaxer. Ibuprofen is a NSAID over the counter pain reliever. It is available at any drug store or retail store such as Walmart.

Ibuprofen is designed to reduce the inflammation of muscles, not to relax them. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.

Can you take muscle relaxers and ibuprofen together?

Since you have not identified the "muscle relaxer" you plan to take with ibuprofen, it would not be appropriate to attempt a broad-brush answer here.You're advised to get in touch with your pharmacist or prescriber (if either of your drugs are prescription-only) to get a more specific answer to your question. Be sure to clearly identify your medication before you call, so you don't have to scramble while somebody's waiting to answer your question.
