Answer 1

As long as the cough medicine doesn&#039;t have ibuprofen in it.

I take ibuprofen at 800 mg, up to three times a day for arthritis.

I think you are unlikely to have a problem.

The cough medicine likely had dextromathorphan hydrobromide to suppress the cough, and Guaifenesin to loosen the mucus.  These meds generally don&#039;t interfer with each other, and indeed this is the combination I use when I have a bad cold or the flu.

Answer 2

Your ok most cold medicines don&#039;t contain Ibuprofen. Just to be sure since I don&#039;t know what cold medicine you&#039;re taking just check the box where it says active ingredients and see if Ibuprofen is on it.  

Answer 3

Is ibu in the cold medicine?  If not, then it should be ok  at least 2hrs apart.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

you&#039;ll be fine...just make sure you eat.  

Answer 6

as long as there is no ibu in the cold meds its fine.
