Do not combine Advil (ibuprofen) and prednisone without professional guidance. Both medications affect your stomach lining, and combining them increases the risk of ulcers and bleeding.
Prednisone suppresses your immune system. Ibuprofen can also have side effects, such as increased bleeding risk. This combination may amplify these risks.
- Your doctor can assess your health status and determine if this combination is safe for you based on your specific medical history and current medications. Your pharmacist can provide valuable information on potential drug interactions and side effects. Always report any unusual symptoms, such as stomach pain, black stools, or easy bruising, to your doctor immediately.
This information is for general knowledge only and does not replace the advice of a healthcare professional. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and carefully read medication labels.
Seek professional medical guidance before starting or changing any medications. Discuss all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs, with your doctor or pharmacist. Never self-medicate, especially with medications that may interact negatively.
