Question 1

hi my doctor switched my prescription from naproxen 500mg to ibuprofen 800mg, i understand i cant use it the same day...when is it safe to take ib?

Accepted Answer

See below : Ibuprofen and naproxen: both Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Though in the same class with similar benefits, risks, and potential side effects, some pts find that one drug works better or is better tolerated than the other.

The only information we have is with PG women telling the DR about the amt of IB that they have taken during a PG.

Always medications should be cleared with your OB prior to taking.
Unless necessary, avoidance of medications is best.
This includes OTC meds

Discuss with your DR on your next visit.
Also information can be obtained from you pharmacist
