Is it ok if took ibuprofen and penicillin?

Answer 1

Can't say for a fact yes, but I am on amoxicillin for an infected c-section incision and was also given Celebrex for gallbladder attacks which is in the same drug group as ibuprofen (both non-steroid anti-inflammatory). Best thing is to ask a Dr. though as using both could increase the risk of gastrointestinal reactions.

Answer 2

Obviously you should always confirm with your doctor, dentist, pharmacist first. Under normal circumstances Ibuprofen shouldn't be a problem, since it is not a blood thinner (as is acetomenophine). The problem researchers, scientists and doctors have tried to fight throughout the years is how to keep penicillin in your blood stream as long as possible. Penicillin V potassium doesn't get urinated as easily as its predecessors, hence the common twice a day dose. Anything that would be considered a diuretic might also negativley affect penicillin, such as caffeine and alcohol, by increasing urination.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. ;-)

actually, ibuprofen is the blood thinner and acetaminophen is not.

Answer 3

yes they usually are given together like for a tooth infection you would get penecillin to fight infection and ibuprofen to reduce swelling cuz like my dad his cheek was puffy when he had infection. but he got vicaprofin which is a narcotic pain killer with 5mg hydrocodeine and 200mg ibuprofin

Answer 4

Yes these medications are commonly prescribed together with the penicillin treating the bacterial infection and the Advil helping to reduce fever.
