¿Puedo tomar Ibuprofeno y Amoxicilina juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria, while ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation. They work in different ways and are processed by the body through different pathways, so they do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or safety.

You can take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist. To help prevent stomach upset, it is a good idea to take ibuprofen with food or a milky drink. Always finish the full course of amoxicillin, even if you start to feel better.

Asma

No tome ibuprofeno si tiene asma, ya que puede causar un empeoramiento potencialmente mortal de su respiración o una reacción alérgica grave.

Úlceras estomacales o sangrado

Evita el ibuprofeno si alguna vez has tenido una úlcera estomacal, perforación o sangrado, ya que puede causar daños graves al revestimiento del estómago.

Embarazo (tercer trimestre)

No tome ibuprofeno si tiene más de 6 meses de embarazo, ya que puede causar problemas graves de corazón y riñón en el bebé no nacido y complicaciones durante el parto.

Penicillin allergy

Do not take amoxicillin if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, as this can cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.

Glandular fever (Infectious Mononucleosis)

Avoid taking amoxicillin if you have or suspect you have glandular fever, as it frequently causes a widespread, itchy skin rash in people with this condition.

Alcohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking ibuprofen. Combining alcohol with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen increases the risk of irritation to your stomach lining and can lead to stomach ulcers or bleeding.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking amoxicillin. While there is no direct chemical interaction, alcohol can dehydrate you and interfere with your sleep, which may slow down your recovery from infection. Additionally, both alcohol and amoxicillin can cause stomach upset or nausea, and combining them may make these side effects worse.

Alimentos (General)

Se recomienda tomar ibuprofeno con alimentos o un vaso de leche para reducir el riesgo de malestar estomacal o indigestión.
