Yes: It should not cause serious drug drug interaction, but only use the Ibuprofen as needed. If the medication is for fever, ensure that you know your temperature prior to taking the medication. Your respiratory plan and follow up may be reviewed during a Healthtap virtual consult.

Question 4

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 5

Accepted Answer

: It would be best for you to ask your oncologist this specific question as that individual knows your meds best as well as their interactions and can give you the most accurate answer.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just do not take Advil (ibuprofen) in a daily basis. Just in moderation

Question 7

is it safe to take advil (ibuprofen) 1 hour after taking ibprofin 800mg? bad toothace

Accepted Answer

No: Advil and ibuprofen are the same thing.  Advil is one of the brand names for ibuprofen.  Ibuprofen is the generic name.  Doses should be 6 to 8 hours apart.  A patient with a tooth ache should ask his dentist about pain medication.  Some people say their pain is helped by taking a dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) (acetominophen) between Advil (ibuprofen) doses.

Question 8

is it okay to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) after taking a advil cold & sinus medicine ?

Accepted Answer

Medicine: Read ur label.  Advil cold and sinus might have Benadryl (diphenhydramine) in it.  If it does not then go ahead.

Question 9

how long do i have to wait to take nyquil cold which has acetominaphen after taking 1 advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

You don't: Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are in different classes / families of medicines, so you can take them together if desired.

Question 10

i have been drinking wine throughout the night (roughly a bottle), my neck hurts and i am thinking of taking advil but i don't know if it's ok to take?

Accepted Answer

Neck pain: If you have a normally functioning liver that is not typically treated to an alcohol load, Advil should not be a problem.  More helpful may be drinking at least a liter of plain water and being sure to be adequately hydrated.
