Alcohol & Ibruprofen

Is it safe enough to take Ibruprofen after having a few alcoholic drinks? (not actively ttc at the moment).



I've got a nasty infection

:cry:

    Ideally not a good idea, but if you're going to, eat something before you do and after. Ibuprofen are non steroidal meds and devour your stomach lining bit by bit, that mixed with alcohol aren't a good mix.



    Normally any tablets with alcohol isn't a good idea... We've all done it though.

    Ibuprofen is part of the anti-inflammatory drug family known as NSAIDs, which can cause tears in the stomach lining if taken on an empty tummy. Add alcohol to the mix, and the potential danger is heightened. If you take ibuprofen when drinking more than the recommended amount for women, you increase your risk of stomach irritation and bleeding. This is especially true for people who are prone to ulcers.
