Headache : How much did you take? And do you have any other medical conditions? Depends on answer to these questions. Consult with us to determine if you need further evaluation.

Yes you can: You should be fine taking the Ibuprofen for the headache as long as you do not have any contraindications from using anti -inflammatories (Ibuprofen) such as stomach ulcers or kidney disease to name a couple. If you keep getting headaches after taking the Tizanidine, talk to your physician
