How it is true when you take a 800mg of ibuprofen can cause miscarriage resulting to abortions?

Of course not! Do you realize 800MG of Ibuprofen isn't really all that much? CORREST ANSWER: Actually, yes. Taking ibuprofen while pregnant can induce labor and most pharmacists and doctors will tell you to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead. -Syrich Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician

Is baby Advil ok for dogs?

Maybe, but you should call your veterinarian immediately to let them know what happened. The vet will ask you what size the pill was and how big your dog is, then either have you bring the dog into the clinic or give you a list of symptoms to watch for over the next few das.

Can you give children's Tylenol and advil at the same time?

YES.

The answer to that question is yes. You may give a child not younger than 2 months old, the two medications at one time. The doses are stuttered by 3 hours so as to maximize the peak concentration of each medication in the blood. Note that you must be hydrating your child during this period. The current recommendations are to use Tylenol first if the fever is low grade, less than 38.0 centigrade, temperatures above that, your child may benefit from dual medicine regimen. Do take proper rectal temperatures and make a log of the times, temperatures and doses given. It is vital to be precise in the quantity, or dose of the medication given. If you are not familiar then simply call you pharmacist and they will gladly let you know the correct doses, which are based on weight of the child. If the child is less than two months old, proceed directly to the doctors office, do not attempt to console the infant at home. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, proceed to the doctors office. If their are additional signs and symptoms, such as excessive vomit, diarrhea, wazing and waning of the temp, seizure, depressing of the soft part of the head, extreme lethargy, poor to no feeding/ liquid intake, painful ear or pulling of the ear eliciting pain, swollen joints, swollen lymph nodes these are markers for one to seek medical advice from a doctor to have everything documented. Fever in children is common and the normal course of fever is 2-3 days. Hydration is a key factor in the elimination of fever. The medications help in terms of analgesia, and have anti-pyretic ( meaning anti-heat producing) capabilities and that is why the child feels cooler and the temperature subsides. Remember though that the body is usually fighting off a viral infection so when the medications are eliminated from the child's body, the fever usually returns. This is where a dual regimen can be effective.

Can you take ibuprofen with dihydrocodeine?

Yes, there is no interaction at all. In fact, most prescriptions of pain killers come in with prescription Ibuprofen and they are usually prescribed together. The one thing to watch out for however, is, APAP in the Dihydrocodeine. Just don't take other products containing APAP as this can lead to liver failure if you take too much APAP. APAP is acetaminophen or Tylenol if you were wondering. Stay safe.

What is ibuprofen for?

Ibuprofen is one of many drugs classified as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs relieve both pain and inflammation (swelling that often makes pain worse in cases like arthritis, broken or cracked bones, joint or muscle injury, or allergic reaction). They also work very well to bring down a fever. Ibuprofen is a very good choice for fever or mild to moderate pain - that means pain that is pretty bad, but you can still stand it, and are not doubled over or screaming (that would be called "severe" pain). The most usual side effect is heartburn, so take ibuprofen with food. You can get this drug over the counter by looking for the brand names Advil and Motrin - the generic "store brand" of ibuprofen will be exactly the same medication without the inflated price.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that is used to reduce pain. It's chemical formula is C13H18O2.

Is it safe to take ibuprofen with depakote and keppra?

What is a safe amount of ibuprofen to give an infant?

Not entire adult tablets.

Ibuprofen, in the proper dose, is safe for infants. It is usually dispensed in liquid form. This liquid can be purchased at most drug stores. Infants 12-17 lbs should get only 50 milligrams (mg) every 6-8 hours. A normal adult tablet is 200mg therefore the correct dose would be about 1/4 an adult tablet. If you don't have the baby liquid you could crush an adult tablet into a powder, thoroughly mix this powder with strained baby food, then divide the quantity of baby food used into four equal parts.

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.

Can you take ibuprofen before an epidural steroid injection?

How much Ibuprofen should you take in a day?

Toxic effects are unlikely below about 100 mg / kg body mass.

They include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, nystagmus, gastrointestinal bleeding, seizures, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalaemia, hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, acute renal failure, cyanosis, respiratory depression, and cardiac arrest.

If you're looking to kill yourself, ibuprofen is an extremely poor choice. You'll most likely wake up in the hospital with a huge bill in addition to your current problems.

If you're looking to pretend to kill yourself, ibuprofen is, again, an extremely poor choice. You might not wake up. Alternatively, you might wake up with severe kidney damage, and whatever problems you think you have now are pretty much peanuts to that.

Can you take hydrocodone Darvon and prochlorperazine together?

Prochlorperazine may enhance the hypotensive effect (abnormally low blood pressure) of Darvon and hydrocodone. The benefits of combined use of these medications usually outweigh the risks and you should talk to your doctor if you have any concerns as dosage and timing do play a role in unwanted side effects.

Also both Darvon and hydrocodone are central nervous system depressants and the use of these two drugs together should be monitored. Some side effects may include, but are not limited to, ataxia, confusion, drowsiness, respiratory depression, and weakness. Since both medications have the potential to depress CNS function it is important to recognize that the risk of unwanted effects may increase with such use.
