Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen and stomach pain

ibuprofen

Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen and such tends to give me stomach pain and I've been On ibuprofen for years. Heat helps but just for the 30 sex or so the heat is applied. Other than that nothing.
1305767 tn?1361192676 I take 15 mg of the Meloxicam in the morning for pain but need additional pain relief later in the day and I know that both drugs are NSAID so I don't want to accidentally overdose.
Avatar m tn So far in my experience, Deramax has been the best non-steroidal anti-inflammatory for pain in dogs - particularly for arthritis pain. Rimadyl is a close second and fairly cheap since it's been on the market for years. What kind of pain is your dog experiencing?
Avatar n tn Becareful on how much ibuprofen you take. It can cause stomach issues such as a stomach ulcer. 800mg is quite a bit. With the lortab, make sure you are following your doctors orders. You can take the two together. If your pain is not being managed, let your doctor know. My medicine has caused me stomach issues and right now I can't take any ibuprofen, aspirin and other medications due to being on oral medicine for the last 5 years.
Avatar f tn The problem with NSAIDs like Advil is the risk of GI bleeding, it is extremely hard on the stomach and digestive tract. Any pain med will make you tired and drowsy - heck I can take one extra strength Advil and I'm out cold for 8 hours so I'm surprised you are only fatigued with the dose you took. Just realized you posted this is 7 hours ago, any risk is probably over and I hope you are feeling better but I would still call your doc and let them know.
3122657 tn?1357432602 Most people still don’t know about this risk and don’t realize that acetaminophen is in hundreds of OTC cold, allergy and headache products and some prescription pain relievers. Check labels for acetaminophen, and don’t take more than 4 grams—equal to eight Extra Strength Tylenol tab--lets—a day from all sources. Alcohol (three drinks or more at a time) and certain other drugs increase the risk. Heavy drinkers and those with liver disease should avoid, or at least limit, acetaminophen.
Avatar n tn I am having severe upper back pain just on one side and chest pain. My doctor told me to take 2 Advil every 6 hours and Morphin every six hours. I usually take the Advil and wait an hour or two before taking the Morphin. After I take the Advil the pain is so back I actually cry. Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

Avatar n tn Has anyone taken an NSIAD(like Ibuprofen or Celebrex) after being treated for GERD or H. Pylori infection? I recently injured my back and a Pain Management specialist said I could possible take Celebrex to help with the inflammation.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 and a female but about 5 weeks ago I wasn't feeling good and went to the doctor had a cold and chest pain on the left side of my chest. We just figured it was congestion or something but the cold went away and the chest pain never did. A few days later it had gotten and I had gone to the doctor I think 2 times and I had a chest x Ray and it was normal and the doctor listened to my heart and stuff and it was all normal so she just said it was musculoskeletal pain.
1729448 tn?1342094737 ive been going to see the doctor and ive been still having a burning/ knawing kind of feeling in my stomach, mostly upper abdomen and a little pain once in a while in the lower.
Avatar f tn I drank 6 glasses of water and the pain stopped. Today the pain is back. I told both my mom and dad and they said that what I had taken shouldn't hurt me, but I'm not so sure. I'm on my first period after having a D&C, I retain a good amount of fluid when on my period causing me to not pee as much and I've been drink WAY much more water than usual so I'm not sure if i'm peeing less than I should.
Avatar f tn i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a year ago after experiencing pain in my wrists and legs and was finding walking quite difficult on many occassions. i was quickly put on a medication called Naproxen which is similar to ibuprofen as it is an anti inflamitory medicine (i live in the UK and don't know if this medicine will be called this in other countries). i had previously tried ibuprofen itself but it didn't work.
Avatar f tn you could take medications such as Ibuprofen or Aleve to help with the pain. If you continue to have bad pain, you may wish to consider a laparoscopy to determine whether or not you might have endometriosis. Good luck!
Avatar f tn s how I found out about my low thyroid, but the pains feel very much like the pre-menstrual cramps and indigestion, but it last longer and is less predictable than the menstrual cramps. I take 2 ibuprofen and tons of Tums and a shot of pepto at least once a day. the pain comes and goes at no particular time, but is always worse after eating. Could this be from my medicine, or is this expected? Is it worth going in for testing?
Avatar f tn Ok so my period like bleeding and horrible back pains with sharper pain and Sharper stomach pain occurring every 3 mins started last night about 1:30 am. The on call doc told me to take ibuprofen apnd Tylenol. At 4 am I took a second dose of 400mg ibuprofen after the first 400 didn't work. Finally I was able to to sleep but this am it's started again. At 12:45 pm I took 1000 mg of Tylenol which didn't help at all. So I took 800 mg of ibuprofen at 4:15.
Avatar m tn After months of severe shoulder pain from tendons, and little sleep, I threw the towel in and started hitting the ibuprofen. Onkly thing that kills this sort of pain. I hit it hard for a few days then take a reality check and give my poor old kidneys a week break :( Its actually affecting my mental heatkh, the pain and disturbed sleep for 9 months (rotator cuff injury) cant get in to surgeon for 6 more weeks so any pain relief advice would be great!
Avatar n tn Rather than giving Ibuprofen for pain, it is better to stick with paracetamol (pain relief medication) and take the dose as prescribed on the packet or as the doctor advises. Chest pains could be from anxiety and stress as well as other reasons. If your son experiences any more chest pains, take him back to the doctor so that the doctor can listen to his chest. Lung infections and asthma can cause chest pains as too as indigestion as well as heart problems.
Avatar f tn Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.
Avatar m tn Is she an over-eater or an under-eater? Aspirin, ibuprofen, alchohol are very hard on the lining of the esophagus and stomach. More so if there is not enough food to absorb it.
Avatar f tn I am recovering from breast cancer and have chronic pain in the breast area. I just purchased 200 mg ibuprofen/12.8 mg codeine (package of 96) online from a drugstore. It said it was an over the counter drug and I want to make sure I'm not doing anything illegal. Does anyone know if this is okay to purchase online? I live in Florida and sure don't want to end up in trouble over something so minor. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!
