Can i takle advil (ibuprofen) and muscle relaxant together?

Yes: Yes, these are different classes of medications so can safely be taken together. Note that nsaids (such as advil) are not recommended for chronic long term daily use - they should only be used for short periods of time.

Yes: Advil (ibuprofen) and muscle relaxers have different mechanisms of action and may be taken together. Ask your doctor for the recommended dose of each, for you. Also, always take advil (ibuprofen) with food.
