Is Ibuprofen okay for me?

Question

I am on Lovan (Fluoxetine hydrochloride) and Diabex XR (Metformin Hydrochloride) and was wondering does anyone know if its okay to take Ibuprofen pain tablets while on these medications.

Answer 1

So long as neither of them is an NSAID drug, it's probably okay, but you can check with any pharmacist, or do a drug interaction check on a Web site such as WebMD.

Answer 2

u need to ask your pharmacist
