People should avoid taking much caffeine when it is being used as an over-the-counter drug and should consider how much caffeine is being taken in from coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, and other foods that contain caffeine.

Can you take Wellbutrin with Naproxen?

No it should not.

I have taken these two together. Nothing deadly happened. But Tramadol has serious side effects and everyone reacts differently to different medications. Call you Dr or Pharmacist he/she would be able to better advise.

Why is Ibuprofen toxic to dogs and cats?

Ibuprofen is not tolerated by dogs at levels that are okay in humans. Severe GI bleeding or kidney failure can result at levels well below those that are known to be safe in humans.

Can you take Ibuprofen with a goody powder?

No because that would be four different pain killers at one time. You could end up injuring your stomach and having bleeding or get an ulcer. Separate the Goody powder from the ibuprofen by at least 3 hours (on either side of the dose).

Is Advil a NSAID?

Tylenol, aka acetaminophen, is generally used for fever reduction (antipyretic) and pain not associated with inflammation. NSAID stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, so as you can see, this drug is associated with reducing inflammation. Popular NSAIDs are Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin.

How long should people take Aspirin?

What happens if you take 3 ibuprofen?

Nothing really. You can upset your stomach and/or cause ulcers with too much, however when I hurt my back the doctor gave me a prescription for 800mg of ibuprofen and I had to take it three times per day (that is 4 normal ibuprofen tabs) I just wouldn't take it for long periods of time. If you have that intense pain for that long, tell your doctor, and they will prescribe something else that will help much better.

What happens if you take naproxin and ibuprofen together?

Zanaflex is classified as a musculoskeletal relaxant, advil is classified as a non steroidal antiinflammatory and benadryl is classified as an antihistamine all therapeutic for specific disease processes used in combination is at the discretion of drug tolerance and consideration of any other meds taken.

Can you take Codeine with Advil?

codiene as a pain relieverusually codiene is already mixed with a pain reliever, like Tylenol. (Tylenol #3 is Tylenol with codiene) to add advil would probably do you no better, and might even contribuite to a stomach ache. But if you already did it, it won't hurt you.

What will take place of Ibuprofen in canine?

Both carprofen (Rimadyl) and ibuprofen (Advil, MotrinIB, Nuprin) are COX-2 inhibitors, although carprofen is felt to be more selective in the canine. Both cause a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, although not in renal flow rate. However, ibuprofen in particular can cause potentially fatal stomach ulcers in dogs, is not predictably or well metabolized, and poses extreme risks in the face of volume depletion, such as after vomiting or with dehydration. It is also much more likely to be fatal to smaller and older dogs. Ask your veterinarian for his/her advice if your dog is showing signs of pain or is limping. Treatment other than carprofen may be indicated.

Can you take Seroquel and ibuprofen together?

It depends on how much of each drug you take. Further, mixing the drugs together won't make any of the individual drugs more potent. A lethal dose of Seroquel will kill you with or without adding Tylenol or Advil. I suggest you don't try and find out what such a dose is, and contact a professional or call 911 for yourself or a friend if there's any danger.

Can you take NyQuil will taking lyrica?

These will not interact. You can keep taking your Lysine while you take the cold medicine.

Is ibuprofen also Tylenol?

It's neither - Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and Tylenol(brand name) is acetaminophen -

Ibuprofen and aspirin belong to the same drug class - Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), while acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) -

they can have similar effects on the body using differing mechanisms.

What anti-inflammatory can you give dogs?

Buffered aspirin is fine to give to a dog. Ask your veterinarian for the proper dosage based on your dog's size.

Can you take cialis while on amoxicillin?

Before combining any prescription medications is it wise to consult with the doctor and or pharmacist to avoid unwanted interactions. There is the possibility that blood pressure would be impacted with the combination of Cialis and Amoxicillin.

Is it safe to take 1800 mg of ibuprofen a day for weeks?

The over-the-counter maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 1200 mg/day. Long term use of even the maximum amount is associated with certain health risks (such as GI bleeding and kidney damage). There are some disease states which require high doses of anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. If you are currently taking ibuprofen as directed by your doctor, you will probably be fine. If this is so, it is important that you see your doctor regularly so that he/she can monitor the effects of the drug on your body (i.e. blood tests to assess kidney function, etc). Your doctor may choose to prescribe a prophylactic dose of a proton pump inhibitor (Nexium, Prilosec, Protonix, Aciphex) or H2 antagonist (Zantac, Pepcid, Tagamet) to prevent an NSAID induced ulcer. If you have heartburn-like symptoms or notice that you bleed/bruise easily, feel exteremely fatigued, or have bloody or "black as coal" stools, see your doctor immediately.

If, however, you are taking 1600 mg/day longterm and are not under a doctor's care, your risk of eventually having these side effects is high. It is important that you let your doctor know that you are needing to take this much. Whatever problem is causing you to need to take this amount of ibuprofen on a regular basis should be addressed by a doctor.

Why do you keep losing weight and then putting it back on?

If you think about it, until about 1980 it was good for human beings (and all animals) to have this characteristic. In ancient times or in prehistoric times, food was hard to come by--so gaining weight easily was something that natural selection preferred since people who gain weight easily lived longer and reproduced more frequently.

Since ca. 1980, humans are now plagued with the problem of being overweight because food is so easy to acquire (not helped by insane agricultural and food policies in countries such as the United States).

Can Vicodin and Advil be taken together?

Yes, but only up to a certain amount. I would only take one advil with one vicodin (or whatever the amount it is you take, if prescribed). Only take up to 3 advil a day and you should wait at least 6 hours or so (8 if you are very thin in weight) between taking them. You should also only take advil with vicodin for a few days, just enough to ease your pain. Any more than that may kill you or cause an accidental overdose depending on your height, weight, and age! So, Be Careful! Tylenol 500 are safe as well for 3 times a day with vicodin. Any other types of aspirin, I would ask a doctor. I know this well. I have had 5 kids and I had to do this every time. I weigh 141 normally so I am average. If you are smaller than me, you might want to stick to one or two until you know how it will affect you.

Can you take Advil and Ibuprofen together?

Yes you can. In fact, pseudoephedrine HCL (the active incgredient in Sudafed) is combined with ibuprofen in many cold and sinus pills, such as AdvilAdvil® Cold & Sinus [OTC]; Dristan® Sinus [OTC]; and Motrin® Cold and Sinus [OTC].

How long does it take Motrin to dissolve in a body?

Can you give your dog the same medicines you take?

Many of the medications that people take are also prescribed for our pets, some of which are over-the-counter, and some are by vet prescription only. Antibiotics, antihistamines, analgesics (pain meds), antiemitics (anti-nausea meds), anti-diarrhea meds, sedatives, and insulin (for diabetes) are just a few of the meds that people take that are also prescribed for dogs, and other animals, as well. But always consult with your veterinarian before giving your dog any med that has not already been prescribed by a vet, whether over-the-counter, or not.

Can you take Advil with Cymbalta?

Not a good idea.

SSRI drugs combined with NSAID's cause increased bleeding.

If you take both these med's you risk a GI or stomach bleed.

Ask your doctor for stomach protection if you want to take these two together.
