Getting mild stomach cramp. cause ibuprofin? i was taking it for surgery recovery and severe dental pain (average of about 850mg/day for 17 days). now i'm getting stomach cramps. i also was on a couple rounds of amoxicillin?

Small dose in 17 days is enough for NSAID induced gastritis. You should stop it, take antacid (Mylanta), 2 table spoons before meals and at bed time for 3 days and start Prilosec OTC 40 mg or Prevacid 30 mg, daily for a couple weeks until symptom resolves.

May be due to antibiotics, pain med, or both. May be due to a post-surgical complication. Important that you report symptoms to your Surgeon, the practitioner responsible for our post-surgical care. Also, Ibuprofen comes in 200mg increments, so how did you manage 850mg?
