Hi doctor, my dentist gave me a antibiotic and asked me to take ibuprofen if i have pain. it is safe to take both together?

Medications: The antibiotic fight the infection and the ibuprophen will relieve the pain until the antibiotic takes effect. You can take both of these medications. If you are concerned about the medications or interactions with each other or other medications you are on then consult with your pharmacist. They are the most knowledgable on drug interactions.

Yes: You can take both together but as long as you are not taking other medications. If your are taking more meds, consult with your pharmacist. The dentist gave you an antibiotic because you have an infection. You need to be sure to return to the dentist because an antibiotic is temporary help . You need to treat the offending tooth.
