Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen vs ketoprofen

ibuprofen

Avatar f tn the poster who wrote about ketoprofen is correct. it is an NSAID like ibuprofen and although not steroids, NSAIDS do the same thing for inflammation and pain (just not quite as well) and are safe (unless you have ulcer or kidney disease). you do not need a prescription, ketoprofen works the same way as ibuprofen just in different dosages. there is also a perscription med called feldine that is similar.

Avatar f tn Hello, In primary dysmenorrheal(usually starts with menarche),adequate rest ,sleep,moderate exercises,anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or ketoprofen,aspirin, low dose oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestin or IUD containing hormones are required. Very severe cases may require endometrial ablation.
Avatar f tn So unless your healthcare provider prescribes it, you should avoid taking aspirin altogether, as well as other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen sodium (Aleve), and ketoprofen (Orudis), which can have similar effects. Check the labels of all over-the-counter drugs to make sure they don't contain aspirin or other NSAIDs. Better yet, check with your caregiver or pharmacist.
Avatar n tn Not really any difference. Vicoprofen has Ibuprofen with the Hydrocodone. Vicodin has Tylenol. Strength would be the same if they both were the same dose.
Avatar f tn Ketoprofen and tramadol should help with the sharp pain, but there is a drug called Lyrica which is used to treat nerve pain. You can discuss this option with your doctor.
Avatar f tn Until you can get to the dentist, take 800mg ibuprofen (4 tabs OTC) and gargle with some warm salt water. This really does help! So sorry for your pain, there is NOTHING worse than a toothache!
195469 tn?1388322888 Something that worked very well for me when I was first dx is Ketoprofen brand name Oruvail. They used to make it in 200mg caps but stopped, so now it comes in 50mg, just take 4 a day. I work for doctors and they are split on the use of Celebrex, personally I stick with the ketoprofen. If the inflammation can be alleviated the pain usually is too so you dont need the pain meds. Of course all of this is based on my own experience so take from it what you will.
Avatar n tn i am to take 2 tramadol twice daily or as needed along with 800 mg ibuprofen twice daily. i have not found any resolve with this medication (i have been on it 2 weeks). i also have not had any typical withdrawl symptoms from stopping the vicodin. i have degeneration of my t3 and t4 vertebre and spinal rotation and of course subluxation. i have had 2 diagnosises and both times the prognosis was long term chronic pain. i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal.
Avatar n tn Is it ok to take ketoprofen and allpurinol. Not at the same time but during the day?
Avatar m tn 2 weeks after that, at week 10 past exposure, a swollen lymph node appeared on her neck, ibuprofen a couple of days and it was gone, only one, no bilateral, really painful.
Avatar f tn He started me on Plaquenil 200mg/day ofr the first month then up to 400mg/day. He has also recommended 200mg ibuprofen three times a day. I have a follow up appointment in three months. I do not have a diagnosis as of yet and would appreciate an opinion on the diagnosis. Do I wait for three months or do I seek out additional help?
689265 tn?1251130087 just had my 2 year old at the drs for a check following a fever and told him I'd used calprofen ( children's ibuprofen ) initially when trying to bring his temperature down. He hit the roof!!! He said ibuprofen is proven to cause kidney damage and should NOT be made for children at all, he's on quite a mission to ban it. Just thought i'd let you guys know. fortunately, i'd only given my lad 2.

7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
