A member asked:

I take prozac (fluoxetine) 20mg and today i have bad stomach pains, will it be ok to take ibuprofen to ease pain? thanks

Dr. Rowan Paul answered

Specializes in Sports Medicine

Try Tylenol (acetaminophen): Ibuprofen can help the pain but it can also cause stomach lining inflammation/gastritis or even stomach ulcers. Try Tylenol (acetaminophen) over the counter instead.
