How far apart do i need to take ibuprofen and 50 mg.tramadol? i was told i could take both if needed.

Usually you want to limit the frequency of taking a medicine like that, as it is addicting. So most doctors would recommend that you take the ibuprofen and wait 2 hours. If your pain is tolerable, you can do without the tramadol.

Their modes of: action are different you may take them together, but you cannot take the tramadol as frequently as the ibuprofen
