A member asked:

Can i take ibuprofen with ranitidine?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

May be of use.: Wouldn't be contraindicated, but not technically the type of medication useful for prevention of NSAID-induced ulcers. That would be Nexium (esomeprazole).

Yes: Yes, ibuprofen may be taken with ranitidine. They do not interact with each other and are safe taken together.
