Question 1

can i take advil while taking cepfodoxime?  thank you!

Accepted Answer

Drug interactions: I found on drug-drug interactions btwn Advil (brand of ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory pain medication) and Cefpodoxime (a cephalosporin-class antibiotic) at https://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=552-0,1310-782. But be sure to read about potential side effects of each, especially gastritis from former, and vaginal yeast infection &amp; diarrhea from latter.

Question 2

i took 4 advil pills by accident... is that considered overdosing? and will i die from it?

Accepted Answer

NoYouWillNotDie: One Advil pill contains 200mgm of Ibuprofen.4 pills make it 800mgm.That is the Maximum one time dose adviced for pain sometime.Some may get some stomach upset&amp;irritation&amp;symptoms of hyperacidity like heart burn or some epigastric pain.Dont take any more advil for 24 hours.If any symptoms of stomach upset you can take maalox or mylanta or Ranitidine or omoprazole available over the counter

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Advildosage: As long s you dont exceed 6 tablets per day you should be okay'

Question 4

i'm busy and accidentally took two advil 200 mg pills two hours after i had already taken two of the advil pills. will this make me sick?

Accepted Answer

Advil: If you are generally healthy, in particular if your kidney function is typically normal, you should be able to metabolize 800mg of Advil (ibuprofen) well enough.  There is a prescription dosage of ibuprofen that is 800mg in a single pill. It can be hard on the stomach and kidneys, however, so try not to take that much at once without first checking with your doctor.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Compariosns: Here's a comparison: http://treato.com/Ibuprofen,Meloxicam/?a=s

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is an acceptable dose to take at one time. Try to make sure you take it with food to minimize GI irritation.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

2 names/same med: Advil (ibuprofen) is a brand name for an Ibuprofen product as is motrin. They are all the same & generally come in the same dose sizes.

Question 9

mixing advil (ibuprofen) and motrin, is this okay?

Accepted Answer

Expired med: If expiration is 3/12 (end of march 2012) is just a few days experied. Won't be a problem.
