Motrin, like aspirin is a pain reliever as well as an anti-inflammatory. The problem is that the side effects of the two tend to be quite different. Research the side effects before using either.

Regular aspirin would be safe if you needed it .if you are on tramadol then not mix it with aspirin.

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.

What caution should those taking CNS stimulates take in regard to caffeine use?

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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).
