Is it ok to take norco with ibuprofen?

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.

What is the difference prescription Ibuprofen and store bought Ibuprofen?

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.

Is it safe to take 600 mg ibuprofen with 200 mg Tylenol?

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).

Does Motrin contain aspirin?

I'm not sure, but i think not b/c Motrin and aspirin are not to be taken simultaneously

one reason for this is Motrin makes aspirin less effective

No. Motrin does not contain aspirin. Motrin contains the active ingredient ibuprofen.

It is important to remember, though, that Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin are both in the same category of medication; they are both "NSAIDs," or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and therefore may not be suggested to be taken at the same time.

Can you mix morphine with ibuprofen?

i hope so...i just took 2 advil and 2 mersyndol to help with my severe back pain

Can you mix antibiotics and painkillers?

This is really a question for your doctor. What is safe for one individual may not be for another. Usually antibiotics and painkillers in appropriate doses are fine. Still, only your doctor knows your personal medical history, and should be the one who gives you the appropriate advise. Although most people will give sincere advise, they can be sincerely wrong. Do not take chances when it comes to your personal health.

Can ibuprofen and acetaminophen be taken together safely?

Ibuprofen and Tylenol work on different mechanisms, these drugs can be LETHAL if you take an overdose. Many teenagers have died after swallowing a bottle of Tylenol.

Ibuprofen can cause intestinal bleeding and ulcers.

Tylenol can cause liver failure or even death!

You can safely take Tylenol and Ibuprofen together as they are totally different drugs the combination of drugs controls high fevers, aches and pains, and several other conditions. However as with any drug you should speak with your doctor/pharmacist before taking anything new.

Ibuprofen is considered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meaning it blocks pain and reduces inflammation.

Tylenol is an analgesic (pain reliever) which is used for pain relief and fever reduction.

These drugs can cause serious side effects, so make sure you read the label, and the prescribing information before you take the drugs. If in doubt speak with your pharmacist who is very knowledgeable in this area and will advise you of the correct dosage, and the contraindications of the two drugs combined.

How long does it take for Saint John's Worts to start working?

St John's wort can take time to show results. Give it four to six weeks before deciding if it is or is not working for you.

Keep in mind that the quality of the product and the dose are important. I've had clients tell me that they had taken an herb and had no results, then take a better quality product (but same herb) and get the results they needed and wanted. There are a lot of junk herbal products out there.

How long do you have to quite taking advil before surgery?

2 weeks prior to surgery,

a week is ok but stop as soon as possible,

I found out I was having surgery in a week and I obviously wasnt informed about not taking any advil and such a week before so its ok.

Absolutely NO meds in you within 24 hours of surgery, unless the drug is approved by your doctor.

Is Advil a generic or brand name drug?

Ibuprofen is an NSAID so yes, it does come in generic form. Advil and Motrin are both name brand medicine that use Ibuprofen as their active ingredient, but you can get generic ibuprofen as well.

Can you take Advil with Ciproflaxin?

Although I am not a doctor and I believe you should ask your doctor in your individual case, according to my Epocrates http://www.epocrates.com/ iPhone app those drugs are contraindicated. Apparently something in the way the interact 'may' cause a seizure in those with a family or personal history of seizures. I am on Cipro right now myself for bladder issue but also suffering from leg cramps and sciatica so I kept plugging in pain relievers till I found one that doesn't have any major contraindications and found Tylenol a fit for me. Depending on where your pain is you can also use topical creams like IcyHot, Tiger Balm etc. Again though check with your doctor as well because I don't have any clue of your allergies or previous medical history or other medications. Again I am not a doctor just someone with physical pain in an 'allied' field - so please check with your doctor before doing anything!!! Good Luck!!!

What happens when you mix Advil pm and alcohol?

it is an acid that originally came from willow bark. you can chew the inner bark of Willow and get the same benefit (not a strong though)

Can you give ibuprofen swollen?

Ibuprofen is classified as a NSAID, which stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (e.g. of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug would be something like Prednisone). Like all NSAIDs, ibuprofen has been observed to affect us in three major ways: analgesic (pain releiver), anti-inflammatory (reduces swelling), and anti-pyretic (reduces fevers).

Your glands (aka Lymph Nodes) are an integral part of your immune system, and they swell as a response to attack. Ibuprofen may potentially reduce the swelling in the glands, but swollen glands are usually an indication that your immune system is pretty pissed off about something, so NSAIDs may be somewhat ineffective when compared to antibiotics (if bacterial infection is the cause) or other stronger anti-inflammatory medications that your doctor can tell you all about.

Swollen glands typically mean you are sick with something, and therefore require some level of attention. They can be indicative of relatively mild conditions like colds, flus, strept, mono, etc., but are also a major sign of some much more serious conditions, namely the 'C-word'. If you've been spooning with NyQuil and a box of tissues for the last few days, then the former is probably the cause of the swelling. If you feel relatively healthy, however, it might be worth checking with an MD (don't freak out though, I had one surgically removed when I was younger for this reason. Lab results determined that a house cat scratched me on the arm like 6 months earlier). Also, as with anything, if a week's time yields no improvement, go get help.

Does Tamiflu have acetaminophen?

Can you take diamox and ibuprofen together?

I looked at the site drugs.com - it has a drug interaction checker. I had the same question since my teen will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (almost 20,000 ft) and has been prescribed diamox to prevent or reduce altitude sickness. Anyway, it reports no interaction. Perhaps you should also ask a pharmacist.
