Question 3

is it ok to take advil (ibuprofen) and omeprazole and amlodipine in a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These medications should be safe together. Always check with your pharmacist about drug interactions especially with over the counter meds.

Question 4

can i take occasional ibuprofen for muscle soreness? i am currently on 5 mg amlodipine, 10 mg lexapro and 10 mg atorvastatin?

Accepted Answer

: At your age and history of hypertension, I would recommend acetaminophen (tylenol) as needed first before using ibuprofen. Episodic use of NSAID is still risky than taking acetaminophen although ibuprofen is more active. If acetaminophen is not helpful, taking aspirin 325 mg with food as needed is safer than ibuprofen or naproxen if you have a strong stomach.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: The medicine in vicodin works on different pain receptors than ibuprofen.  In addition,  Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory where vicodin is not.

Question 6

headache several days in row i've taken tylenol n ibuprofen nun seems to help?

Accepted Answer

Status migrainous: this may be status migranous (if classic migraine features are present) and when it persists and escalates for days, it may require IV treatment in ER or urgent care with more potent medications (ex: Toradol) to get aborted. by now its unlikely triptan class abortive (ex:imitrex,zomig) would work. in the interim try naproxen as it is longer acting.

Question 7

went 2 back specialist yesterday n was told pain coming from musculoskeletal. if take advil (ibuprofen) n try to strengthen and stretch would it help or no?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Medications like ibuprofen in combination with physical therapy are the main treatments for musculoskeletal back pain, and have been shown to prevent recurrences and shorten the duration of recurrences.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

If you took more: than the directed amount - then it was too much. If you took an overdose - call poison control at 1-800-222-1222. If you are having
thoughts about killing yourself,  get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk .

Question 9

is 1000 mg of ibuprofen too much?

Accepted Answer

Side effects: The maximum dose for adults is 800 mg/dose or 3200 mg per day. Use only the smallest amount needed to get relief from pain,swelling, or fever. Take ibuprofen with food or milk to lessen stomach upset. An ibuprofen overdose can damage your stomach or intestines. If you take ibuprofen for a long period of time, our doctor may want to check you on a regular basis.
