A member asked:

Muscle relaxer with advil (ibuprofen) pm, is this okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem: Advil pm is ibuprofen, a non-steroidal medication and diphenhydramine. There should be no problem with using a muscle relaxant with the advil. Might have slightly increased somnolence.
