Ibuprofen 600mg And Ulcers

I have had ulcers (bleeding) but am fine now. Can I take Ibuprofen 600mg? I am concerned that it may cause bleeding again... Also, is ibuprofen 600mg a narcotic?

REPORT

No, it is not a narcotic. This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, and, yes, it does increase the risk of bleeding, stomach irritation, and ulceration, or worsening existing ulcers, according to FDA reports.

It would be best to check with your doctor to discover what medication is safe for you take. You may need to stick with one that is milder, such as Tylenol/Acetaminophen.

Is there anything else I can help with?

You might have seen this on another post but am asking about Ibuprofen and Tylenol (no other variations) combined. My post was moved to a not as appropriate post as I was hoping it would be...

Is it safe to take Ibuprofen and Tylenol together (short term)? If so, how much Ibuprofen would work? I have the 500 mg strength of Tylenol and wanted to have an idea of what’s safe (or the ratio) and how much time I should wait before combining both?
