A member asked:
I recently had 2 teeth removed surgically. the dentist prescribed me 50mg of tramadol for pain but is not working. can i take 400mg of ibuprofen also?

Call ur surgeon: Don't know how recently the teeth were extracted, the extent of the surgery, or any complications. Tramadol is a pretty strong pain reliever, and if it's not working, something else may be amiss.

Yes, you can: Tramadol and ibuprofen combination is used to relieve pain. When used together, the combination provides better pain relief than either medicine used separately. Always talk to your doctor before starting any new prescription or OTC medication.
