Question 1

can i take alka-seltzer plus with my 800mg ibuprofen and 750mg robaxin?

Accepted Answer

Avoid: Avoid Aspirin 325mg in Alka Seltzer Plus with Ibuprofen 800mg, as the combination would increase risk of Gastrointestinal bleeding (stomach ulcers). Caution is advised with the Chlorpheniramine ingredient in Alka Seltzer Plus with Robaxin as the combination increases the risk for increased drowsiness and possible psychomotor impairment.

Question 2

took alka seltzer and advil liquid gels like 20 minutes later for my stomachache, that was 3 hrs agohow long do i have to wait before i can take my xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Immediately.: Immediately. It might help with your stomachache also which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome.

Question 3

i've had a headache all day, i took alka seltzer heartburn 1 hour ago to see it it helped, but it didn't. should i take an advil, and my xanax (alprazolam) later?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol (acetaminophen) and. Xanax: Take one dose of 1000 mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) with your xanax now. If this does not help in 2 hours take 600 mg of advil. In the meanwhile take a relaxing bath by candlelight and listen to any soft relaxing music you have. Keep your eyes closed and focus only on the music candid breathing out with. Your mouth open but your lips slightly pursed. Feel the relaxation as it moves from the top of head to toes.

Question 4

i took alka seltzer plus at 9:15 pm not fully reading it.  i have mostly nasal congestion. when can i take either dayquil or advil cold and sinus?

Accepted Answer

Vapor inhalation: Rather than taking either of these medications, you may help your congestion better by taking steam or water vapor inhalation. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.  Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 5

can i take alka seltzer plus and ibuprofen together?

Accepted Answer

Should be OK: This combo should not cause a problem. Some alka seltzer does contain acetaminophen (Tylenol), but also should be fine together.   Read each individual package and be sure not to exceed the dosing recommended for either product.

Question 6

can i take alka seltzer after i took 2 tablets of ibuprofen ?

Accepted Answer

No: I would not mix the two, alka seltzer has aspirin in it, this is the same type of drug as motrin. They are both called non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS. Could cause an overdose which most commonly would be abnormal bleeding, irritation to the stomach lining, and kidney injury.

Question 7

i took 4 ibuprofen for a bad headache 1 hour ago but my stomach is still upset. can i take alka seltzer?

Accepted Answer

Think again!: Active Ingredients (in Each Tablet): Anhydrous Citric Acid (1000 mg), Aspirin (325 mg), Sodium Bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate). If your stomach upset is due to NSAID (ibuprofen) use, what do you think throwing another NSAID (aspirin in the Alka-Seltzer) will do to it?

Question 8

can you take alka seltzer plus cold and advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

According to the: Drugs.Com medication interaction checker- there is no significant interaction. Take care.

Question 9

how long should i wait to take alka-seltzer plus cold formula (has asprin in it) after taking ibuprofen?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Alka seltzer plus cold contains 325mg Aspirin (1 adult tablet). Not sure of any other medications you take that may increase bleeding, ulcers, etc  so i cannot comment on time. To be safe 4 hours should be ok.

Question 10

can i take advil (ibuprofen) and alka seltzer original together? took two advil (ibuprofen) gel capsules about 3 hrs ago but still in pain. is it safe to take alka seltzer wi

Accepted Answer

No: Try APAP (Tylenol). The other is just more of the same type. APAP acts differently.
