It depends on what other medication you're taking!

ibuprofen has several negative side effects that should be considered - and you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain before taking any other medications with it, too!

  • it is a blood thinner, so never take it with other blood thinners
  • it causes stomach upset and possibly ulcers, so never take it with other medications with similar side effects
  • it is a pain killer and anti-inflammatory, so don't take it with other pain killers or anti-inflammatories

Can taking medication for schizophrenia for 30 years kill you?

If the medication hasn't caused harm during thirty years of taking it, it is unlikely that it will begin to cause harm. Life-threatening side effects such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome generally occur during the first year of taking antipsychotic medication. Antipsychotic medication doesn't have any sort of cumulative poisonous effect, either.

Can bipolar medication harm unborn babies?

There has not been a lot of research about the possible harm to unborn babies due to bipolar medication. It is always best to discuss the problems associated with any medication taken while pregnant. Do not stop taking your medication before speaking with your doctor, either. Some babies have had birth defects after their mothers have continued to take their bipolar medication, while others did not.


Why does the lead singer of flyleaf have a tattoo if she's christian?

Getting tattoos is not anti-christian necessarily. The only reference the bible makes to that is not to harm yourself in anyway, not everyone sees getting a tattoo as self-harm. These days many normal daily activities might be considered self-harm, such as drinking caffeine, eating fatty foods, taking over the counter medication, taking prescription medication, et c., so whether or not tattoos are self-harm is a subjective thing.


Can pain medication hurt the baby?

Yes some of them can indeed hurt the baby. You should always ask a doctor or a pharmacist if they medicine is safe to take. Tylenol, or the store brands that have acetaminophen, are generally considered relativly safe. Defininatly avoid aspirin or Ibuprofen, they can harm the baby. I try to avoid pain medication if I can just to be safe, but there are times when the pain has been bad enough that I did need some. If you can get away with not taking it for mild things, like minor headaches, I would.

Around the same amount as an adult.
