Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen has fewer side effects than diclofenac, though it's anti-inflammatory properties are weaker. Common side effects include gastro-intestinal discomfort (stomach ache), nausea and bleeding and ulceration. These can be reduced by taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with food.

I must add though, you should follow the advice your doctor gave. If you turn to answers.com, you probably don't have the expertise on which to make an informed decision.

If you honestly think you could be pregnant, don't take it if the box says not to. Call your doctor and see what they say. It may be OK to take or they may tell you another type to take in case you are pregnant. If you're pregnant, it's worth the calling around.

I had a cold 13 weeks into my first pregnancy, and the only thing my doctor would allow me to take was Tylenol cold medicine, and that was only because I was past 12 weeks. I would not recommend taking anything until you are sure you are pregnant. Drink extra fluids and try a vaporizer.

4 to 6 hours after

I snorted a pill and everything became blurry for my vision except things I focused on. I also tasted things different and things were louder for me. However, it gives you a massive headache after and the high is only a few minutes

Not sure about cats but it will kill a dog and has a very small margin of safety even in humans so would highly recommend against giving it to a kitten. Tylenol will kill your kitten! If you don't believe it, your Vet will certainly tell you the same. All you have to do is make a phone call and even the Vet Tech at any animal hospital will tell you the same. NEVER GIVE YOUR PETS TYLENOL! IT WILL KILL THEM!

Tylenol does not reduce inflammation at all. It is a pain reliever and will reduce fever, but it has no action on inflammation. Advil is one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and it will reduce inflammation.

Tylemol 3 has codiene in it.I took two an hour ago,and I took a methocarbamol at dinner,so I guess if I am still alive in the morning,its ok....No,seriously,....Tylenol 3 and meth are not going to kill you,but tramadol and meth do not go together.I would rather had the doctor perscribe something that would actually take the pain away(oxycodone or hydrocodone) but the federal protect-me-from myself anti drug crusaders have these poor docs under a microscope,so,here we are in America,21st century----draconian pain management--thanks,Uncle Sam!Education should be a priority,not preventing pain medicine unless someone is dying,oh well,a few people (Rush Limbo) got hooked on the stuff,so now we all get tylenol....enjoy your pain!

It says on drug-world.com and other various drug sites that it can make you test positive for THC. THC levels will decrease with time so testing positive for the amount ibuprofen would make you test for and the amount smoking pot two weeks ago will, etc.

Before taking any medication for the first time, it is important to talk with your doctor first to see if there has been any cases of side effects from mixing two drugs together. Prednisolone is take to help with asthma, and Co-codomal is used for back pain, so it is possible that there will be some side effects.

Promethazine is an antihistimine and anti-emetic. Ibuprofin is a painkiller. There should be no problem using them both together in the proper dosages.

Ibuprofen itself is the drug in ibuprofen. It stands for Iso-BUtyl-PROpanoic-PHENolic acid. Advil is just a brand name of ibuprofen (they're the same thing) so just buy the cheaper store-brand ibuprofen.

As long as you are an adult, it is not advisable to take more than 1200mg at a time, even less for children. So, two tablets are the maximum at any one time.

Yes. Simvastatin is a cholesterol lowering drug that acts at the level of the HMG CoA reductase enzyme, inhibiting it. This mechanism of action is completely different and separate from the action of ibuprofen. However, if you have any partiuclar concerns related to your own experience with this combination, you should discuss this with your physician.

You should be fine. If you notice any stomach problems, rectal bleeding, dizziness, hives, itching, rash, or swelling. Discontinue use and call your doctor right away. An adult should not surpass 1200mg/day. This is without doctors supervision. It's not lethal, it's just recommended to not surpass that amount.

According to the drug interaction checkers available on the internet there is no drug interaction. However, as with all drugs you should verify this with your Dr. because you might be taking something else which would interact.

Well, I just did. I'll let you know if I survive. (Not a joke). In all likelihood, low doses of both should be okay. Ibuprofen is a pain reliever and reduces inflammation. Pain relieves are not good to take with benzodiazepams because the benzo is going to suppress nervous system activity while the pain reliever will intensify the effect.

Too much of an NSAID like ibuprofen can cause reduced nervous system reaction as well. Combined with Ativan (lorazepam), too much can make you fall asleep and way too much may stop nervous system functions, like your heart...

Low doses of both though, (200 mg of ibuprofen with 1 mg of lorazepam) will be fine... however, you shouldn't really need to take both. Take a different pain med for pain, not an NSAID. Tylenol might be better, but I'm not a doctor. There are likely side effects or consequences for everything.

General rule of thumb - unless told by a doctor - don't mix medications too much, even over the counter ones with prescription meds.

You can safely swap Tylenol and ibuprophen every two hours minimal. doing it this way is the best way to keep pain,fever and immflamation down.

Some opiod drugs include morphine, heroin, hyrocodone, oxycodone, and of course opium. Opioids have inherent analgesic (pain relieveing) properties and haven been used both medicinally and recreationally since 6000 BCE, making it one of the oldest drugs.

Only take as much as it takes to control the pain. Start out with 200 mg every 4 hours. If that works, stop. If it doesn't, take 400 mg. and see if that works. If you have to take more that 600 mg every 4 hours to control the pain, it's time to go to the doctor. Good luck.

Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (Naproxen sodium, which in higher doses is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory), and aspirin may be better at helping calm down the inflammation which part of the migraine reaction than Tylenol (acetaminophen, in the UK/AU - paracetamol)

That said, some people do find relieve from preparations like Excedrin (Excedrin Migraine is the same thing, same ingredients in the same amounts), which have acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine in it. Caffeine helps by making the other medications work faster, as well as acting as a vasoconstrictor (temporarily acting on inflamed blood vessels). Aspirin, like ibuprofen and naproxen, acts on prostaglandins to reduce pain and inflammation. Acetaminophen itself really only reduces pain, it does not act on inflammation.

If you are under 18 or pregnant/nursing, it may not be safe to take aspirin. If you an adult on anti-coagulant therapy (coumadin, warfarin) , please speak to your doctor first.

You should split them apart by about 3 hours. Both of these are pain medications, and are harsh on your stomach. Taking that much together would be very likely to give you severe heartburn and possibly nausea.
Yes you can. Ibuprophen, being an NSAID, is great for imflamation pain. Lortab, of course is a narcotic mix of Hydrocodone and "Tylenol". I recomend taking 400mg to 800mg of Ibuprophen ALTERNATING with the Lortab. In other words take the Lortab every six hours and in between doses of the Lortab take the Ibuprophen. This will keep stomach irritation down. The other possibility is to ask your Doctor to prescribe Vicoprophen, which is a pill that has Hydocodone and Ibuprophen (instead of Tylenol) in it. It has 200mg of Ibuprophen so it may require you to take another advil or two with it to boost the ibuprophen level.

the price

From my own experience there must be a difference in the coating. I can easily stomach 4 over the counter ibuprofin 3times daily (and have for 20 yrs.) which = the same as 1 800mg. prescription tablet 3times daily. I can not stomach the prescription at all. Taking 2 400mg. prescription ibuprofin also went down fine. but the prescription can cost much more than the walmart version-$8 or less for 500 tablets.

These two medications work on pain through different mechanisms so they can be taken together, but DO NOT take them until you have talked to your doctor and/or pharmacist. These drugs may have reactions to other medications you are on, diseases, and/or food and drink.

p.s. the 325 mg in percocet refers to the acetaminophen, but it also contains oxycodone (narcotic).

The chemical formula for ibuprofen is C13H18O2.

it is an anti-inflamitory drug, it has many usages from rhumatic pain, arthritis, headaches, migranes, backache, period pain, toothache feverishness and to releive symptoms of cold and flu.
