A member asked:

Is it safe to drink alcohol if i took a 600mg ibuprofen 8hours ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Med interactions: It is smart to be aware of the risk of interactions with medications and substances such as alcohol. Ibuprofen usually lasts in the system for around 6-8 hours (varies depending on how fast someone metabolizes it), so it should be metabolized by the time you are wanting to have a drink.
