ibuprofen
Do NOT give ibuprofen to your dog, it is highly toxic to them. If you want to try an over the counter medication to your dog, you can try aspirin, but in low doses. Here's a website with a pretty good break down on what you should and shouldn't give your dog as far as pain killers go.

Tylenol is classified as an "analgesic" . This is the same classification as asperin. The most common anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS - Non-Steroidal Anti-INflammatory) are Motrin (Generic = Ibuprofen) or Aleve (Generic = Naproxen or Naproxen Sodium). I agree - use only one of these.
style, rather than through an anti-inflammatory mechanism. I do wonder, though, if it has *any* anti-inflammatory effects? I don't know.
So, yes, your 800mg ibuprofen is an NSAID.
Then in addition, anti inflammatory drugs can be taken like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen but they should be taken under a medical supervision. Surgery is the last resort to go in for a hematoma.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Certain companies take advantage of this and use extraction techniques (in order to standardize an herb, you have to use an extract, not just the powdered herb) that maximize the extraction of fat soluble compounds. This is why turmeric is traditionally more for liver support than the now more common use as an anti-inflammatory.
If you have liver disease, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), like Advil (ibuprofen) can also be dangerous to take.
Aspirin should also be taken with care because it can lower a person's platelet count. People with liver disease often experience a swelling of the spleen. This can destroy platelets faster than the body can make them. Taking aspirin will add to this problem.
All benzodiazepines can harm the liver.

This is a question best directed at your Pharmacist. We often forget that they are the true experts in medications - interactions and so forth.
It truly sounds like the flu....but, I would do as the doctor recommended, and try the ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory, which means it will not only help with discomfort, but it helps reduce any swelling that may be causing discomfort. If you symptoms don't improve, or get worse, you should at least call your physician and let him know. He may want to see you again, and run further tests for a more specific diagnosis.
Hope you feel better soon!
I went to the eye doctor and he examine the eye and stated that I had episcleritis. The first two weeks I was put on anti-inflammatory drops, which did not help. This past week I was put on Prednisolone and over the counter ibuprofen and it has help tremendously. However, I still have just a little redness. Should I be worried?
Hi
You should discuss with your doctor about the diverse abortive medications available to terminate an attack as soon as the symptoms begin. Treatment is there for both the prevention as well as abortion of an attack.
Paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), triptans, ergot alkaloids and anti-emetics are used for treatment of migraine.
Ibuprofen – (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin and others) reduces high body temperature, is an anti-inflammatory and inhibits normal platelet function. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal upset and bleeding. Those at risk of portal hypertension are already at risk for gastrointestinal bleeding, intensifying this risk. Studies have demonstrated that at certain dosages, ibuprofen can stress the liver and elevate liver enzymes in people with Hepatitis C.
Both the medication with give almost equal amount of pain relief though meloxicam is associated with fewer side effects as compared to ibuprofen. Though pain relief may be immediate, anti-inflammatory action may take a few days to build up.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
Naproxen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), along the lines of Motrin (ibuprofen). It can be rough on the tummy, and is usually not recommended in people who have a history of a GI Bleed, bleeding ulcers, etc.

If this is a recent change in your memory and/or sudden change, I would definitely check in with your doctor - advil is an anti-inflammatory and can, in some instance, cause bleeding problems - mostly in the GI tract, but there's also a chance of bleeding elsewhere, such as the brain.
