Can I take Ibuprofen and Amoxicillin together?

Perché succede

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria, while ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation. They work in different ways and are processed by the body through different pathways, so they do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or safety.

You can take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. To help prevent stomach upset, it is a good idea to take ibuprofen with food or a milky drink. Always finish the full course of amoxicillin, even if you start to feel better.

Asma

Do not take this medicine if you have asthma, as it can cause a life-threatening worsening of your breathing or a severe allergic reaction.

Stomach ulcers or bleeding

Avoid this medicine if you have ever had a stomach ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding, as it can cause serious internal bleeding or perforation.

Penicillin allergy

Do not take this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, as it can cause a severe, life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis).

Alcol

Drinking alcohol while taking ibuprofen can increase the risk of stomach irritation and bleeding. It is best to limit or avoid alcohol, especially if you are taking ibuprofen long-term.

Food (General)

It is recommended to take ibuprofen with food or a glass of milk to reduce the risk of stomach upset or indigestion.
