Was recently put on 20mg famotidine twice a day. is it okay to take either ibuprofen or naproxen for pain (such as menstrual cramps/headaches/muscle aches) while on famotidine? its not extended release. and are these okay to take on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All ok: with birth control. Ibuprofen, naproxen, may increase gastric irritation/inflammation.
