Can you take Ibuprofen with trimethoprim?

You can take it, but it's best to space out the doses. If you take them at the same time, the abrasiveness to the stomach can be too much.

In most cases you will get heartburn of some sort--you CAN'T take any antacids. Also, don't lay down for about an hour, as the doxycycline will dissolve in your throat and you will have way more problems than just an infection or heartburn!

What do you do if a dog eats children's Motrin?

Our dog just ingested ibuprofen today - we are not sure how many pills in the bottle were already used by us, but there were now 20 missing. our guess is that he consumed between 0 and 10 accidentally because he left the rest all over the house after he realized they did not taste good and just wanted to chew the bottle. Anyways, if this happens to you, you should immediately induce vomiting... a table spoon of hydrogen peroxide will do the trick. Then you should get to an animal hospital that has overnight care because he will need iv's and gi protectants for 2-3 days. If this all happens in a timely manner then the drug may not have time to cause kidney failure.

Take the dog to the vet nearby.

How much ibuprofen to take to stop period?

I don't have an answer to this question; I just have a question. Why would you want to stop the natural cleansing process of the uterus?

You should be talking with your gyn-ob doctor because some further investigation needs to be done. Good luck!

What are the uses of aspirin?

Buffered aspirin helps coat the stomach so the stomach does not get upset. The ASA (aspirin) portion remains the same, but because the coating is not fully gone until the tablet reaches the small intestine, very little of the compound is released in the stomach.

Unbuffered ASA can cause stomach lining irritation, ulcer, and if severe the ulcer can perforate--poke a hole through the stomach wall. All of these effects can cause stomach pain and interfere with appetite.

When will a generic Celebrex be available in the US?

The patent for Celebrex expires in 2013. It is expected that once Celebrex goes off-patent, several companies will begin manufacturing a generic Celebrex drug. Normally in the United States, one company is given 180 days of exclusivity to manufacture a generic version of a drug. After 180 days, other manufacturers of generic medications will likely begin making a generic form of Celebrex.

No. Celecoxib is the active ingredient in Celebrex, but it is not a generic version of it. This can be confusing, because the active ingredient of any drug is often referred to as the "generic name." But the generic name is not the same as a generic version of a medicine. For there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must first go off-patent. Then another company besides the original manufacturer must start making the product.

What can you use instead of prednisone to shrink nasal polyps?
