Does ibuprofen contain ibuprofen?
No, not the same as paracetamol but can provide similar relief (e.g. for some pain or headache) by different means. My understanding is that it reduces inflammation locally and that's how the relief comes.
There is an over-the-counter, supermarket-supplied or pharmacy-supplied pill (different popular name) which is the same as ibuprofen. If you went to a pharmacy and asked for the pill that is the same as ibuprofen you would get it.
This answer is based on publicity when the pill that was the popular equivalent of ibuprofen came out. It was said to be exactly the same as ibuprofen but a different name.
Trade names for the popular easily-bought pill might differ in different locations.
What happens if a dog eats an ibuprofen pill?
about a week ago my dog ate ibuprofen actually a similar brand of it, she is a larger breed of dog and ate 100milligram dosage i have called around to vets and some say she could get dehyderated and others say she will be okay. she is still a puppy and has been running around and eating and drinking normally the only difference is she has been vomiting. she has also lost a few pounds due to this.
well as weird as it sounds this is what my vet told me to do
give him/her a spoon full of poroxide and that will flush
it all out but do not be suprised if he/she vomits that is
how this works and it dosent matter if the dog alredy pukes it
will still work and i now it will be hard but make your dog take it easy
and if that dosent work take your dog to a vet right away.

What is maximum dose of ibuprofen and acetaminophen when taken together?
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) passes though the liver, while Ibuprofen (Motrin) is passed through your kidneys. You can take your dosage (based on your weight ) for either medications at the same time safely.
As a PA in the pediatric ER we do tell parents that they can give their child BOTH Tylenol and Motrin to help fight a bad fever. We like to have them have some overlap time because then the fever is covered (Take Tylenol 1st and 2 hours later take Motrin). Most of the time we just suggest straight Motrin (more than Tylenol) because the overlap can be confusing and their is a higher risk of Tylenol overdose than with Motrin. Remember Asprin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is different than Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetaminphen) and should NOT be given to children because it can cause Reyes Syndrome.
What is the active ingredient in aspirin that gives the observed therapeutic properties?
The active ingredient in aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid. It was first discovered in willow bark by an Oxford scientist in 1763.

How can you stop taking lyrica safely?
You absolutely should NOT withdraw from Lyrica (pregabalin) "cold turkey" or all at once! To do so will probably send you into Withdrawal. If you are going to go off of Lyrica, do it GRADUALLY, carefully, under the close supervision of the prescribing physician.
DO NOT STOP TAKING LYRICA SUDDENLY. Lyrica DEFINITELY CAUSES INTENSE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. They can include: violent panic, sudden high blood-pressure, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), the shakes, sweating, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsive seizures, hallucinations, paranoid attacks, chest pains, intensely suicidal thoughts, complete sleep-deprivation, violent startle reactions, and pseudo-psychosis.
The longer you have been on it, the worse it will be. If you are going to go off of Lyrica, do it GRADUALLY, carefully, under the close supervision of the prescribing physician. Good Luck!
Is ibuprofen hard on your stomach?
Yes it is. It can be a major factor for the development of peptic ulcers which can cause severe pain and blood loss. It does this by inhibiting the production of protective molecules known as prostaglandins on the stomach.
Can you take mirtazapine and ibuprofen together?

Is ibuprofen and Vicodin the same thing?
Yes you can take vicodin with flexeril. I recently hurt my neck and I was prescribed both of these. The only thing that I suggest is that if you are going to take them both at the same time, wait until the evening, because both will make you very drowsy. The first couple of nights of taking them, I woke up in the middle of the night and was pretty out of it mentally, but that wore off.
New Answer:
I was prescribed to take 1 Flexeril and 1-2 hydrocodone (vicodin) before bed. I was in an extreme amount of pain the first night so I took 1 and 2 respectfully. When I work up in the morning I felt great, until I sat up in bed. I was incredibly dizzy and drowsy. Somehow I made it to work, though I probably shouldn't have driven, but I felt like I was ready to pass out until about 3 in the afternoon. The hydrocodone has a much stronger effect, so I only took half a tab last night and today has been much better, and my pain is still controlled. I'm still a little drowsy as I'm taking the flexeril three times a day, but nothing like yesterday. Hope that helps.
Since these are both medications which need a Dr.s prescription, you should follow their instructions. However, Flexeril and Vicoden are often prescribed together. Flexeril is a muscle relaxant and Vicoden is a narcotic for pain.
Flexeril, if taken one half hour to one hour before consumption, will intensify the muscle relaxant, painkilling effects of hydrocodone. If you find that just hydrocodone (with or without tylenol) doesn't do enough for back spasms, the muscle relaxant in Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) will help tremendously. Be warned that Flexeril is also sometimes prescribed as a sleep-aid, so if you're going to be driving or doing anything that requires you to be alert, take half of what you would normally take (of both medicines) so you can gauge the effects on your coordination. Do NOT drink (period) on opiates, and especially not with Flexeril added into the mix. You may or may not fall asleep or nod off unexpectedly, may become physically ill or find an intense loss of coordination.
This combinatin of medications is often prescribed together; one being a muscle relaxant and the other a painkiller. Be careful not to exceed dosage.

What certain things makes people tired?
* I read once in a National Geographic article in Aug - Sep 2000 about the Olympics in Sydney and how athletes are trained for the big games, and it mentioned something about the amount of lactose in your blood and the capacity certain people have to brun it faster than other. It has to do with the relation of lactose/oxigen in your blood, but i am not sure about how it works. I've been looking for a related article in the internet but havent seen anything so far.
Several things can make people tired, but it does vary between individuals. The following are almost universal.
* Eating too many carbohydrates. * Large amounts of sugar. (As seen in the energy drink crash)
Is a Ibuprofen a organnic or inorganic?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organic_compounds This is a link to a long list of "organic compounds" for all those who care if what they take is organic. I personally, care not, for if it works, it works. And yes, Ibuprofen is an organic compound. And some people get this confused with Aleive or Alieve, another NSAID, which it is NOT. Advil is the most common brand name Ibruprofen (it has a sugar coating to taste good). Adelaine J. Blais Mathematics/Geology Major at UW Now, I'm a business advisor. :) adelaine@ablaiscounsulting.com
