Can I drink alcohol if I'm taking ibuprofen or paracetemol?

youre technically not suppose to with ibuprofen because it can cause liver damage, but it probably wouldnt be a big deal if you space the drug and alcohol a few hours apart and dont go nuts with either. im not sure about paracetemol off the top of my head, you should ask a pharmacist questions like this in the future though instead of people on yahoo message boards that dont know what theyre talking about. your pharmacy's number is probably on the bottle if you wanna give them a call.

Tylenol lasts for 4 hours in your system.  Never take it within 24 hours of drinking, it can cause extreme damage for your liver.  All a hangover is is dehydration.  To avoid a hangover, always drink a few large glasses of water before going to bed, as well as the next morning.

Hon, you shouldn't drink alcohol while on those types of drugs anyway. If you are feeling really bad, go to the ER. They can help you more than anyone here can.

First let me say I am sorry for whatever ailment that has caused you to take any medication for such an extended period of time.  \n\nAs for your answer, Vicroprofen is Hydrocodone and Ibuprophen.  Hydrocodone is an opiate drug (highly addictive).  You will need an opiate receptor blocking agent (from a rehab center) to get over this.  Other remedies are also available, but professional help is a must.

As a general rule, absolutely not. Ibuprofen can double the risk of heart attack, by itself (www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.\ncfm?c_id=204&ObjectID=10384696), and acetaminophen is responsible for approximately 60,000 cases of liver toxicity, every year. Ad in another potentially toxic chemical, and your liver is really going to hate you.

Motrin is generically Ibuprofen...right? so are u allergic to Ibuprofen? if that's the case...then you cant take any Ibuprofen medicine...instead try to take acetaminophen...like Tylenol....i hope i helped u in a way. Besides, oxycodone is the one prescribed by your dentist, take it he will not give that medicine if it will damage ur health.

Call your doctor or a pharmacist. It could be dangerous please don't drink after taking that medicine untill you know for sure.

There are no specific contraindications to use of alcohol while on this medication. However, erythromycin is primarily metabolized by the liver, and general common sense would indicate you should be caution about the concommitant use of alcohol.

Not all antibiotics are the same. There are a few different classes and they have different mechanisms of action and different properties.\n\nSome classes of antibiotics cannot be taken with alcohol because it will make you very sick (by blocking breakdown of alcohol, causing some WICKED hangovers), and it will limit the efficacy of the drugs.\n\nPenicillin-class antibiotics don't usually have bad interactions with alcohol.\n\nHowever, cephalosporin-class antibiotics can make you sick if taken with alcohol. Same thing with metronidazole (Flagyl).\n\nWhat antibiotic are you taking, anyway? Your best bet is to ask your doctor whether the alcohol is safe with your durgs, but in general, NEVER drink alcohol if you're on medications. Alcohol tends to complicate a LOT of meds.\n\nADDENDUM: Augmentin (amoxicillin) is not contraindicated with alcohol, HOWEVER, in general it is not advisable to take this drug with alcohol anyway. The interactions between antibiotics and alcohol are more severe between cephalosporins like Cipro (coprofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), etc. These side effects include dizziness, nausea, and impaired ability to metabolize alcohol. Per that impairment, the antibiotics are processed in the liver, so if the lvier's busy braking down the drugs, they don't have enough resources to break down booze. so the alcohol doesn't get processed as it normally would, making you intoxication more severe and prolonged. That is, if you think two glasses is a little bit with dinner, the meds can make it feel like you drank 3 times that amount.\n\nWhile you aren't likely to suffer terribly for a little wine with Augmentin (unless you have a history of hepatitis or other liver troubles), it's generally better to abstain from alcohol until you have completed all treatment.

800 mg of ibuprofen every eight hours with food. this relieves inflammation as well as relieves pain. you can rotate this with tylenol 1000mg every six hours.\nEXample: at 8am take the ibuprofen. you'll take that again @ 4pm.  in the interim, you can use tylenol say -- @ 12pm then again @ 6pm.\ndon't use aleve (naproxen) and ibuprofen together. they're too close to being the same drug. don't use those on an empty stomach. don't use aspirin in case there is any potential bleeding problem. don't take too much tylenol. don't use tylenol at all if you have a known liver problem.\nYOU CAN ALSO -- use ice on the outside of your face. Even suck on ice. if ice is too large to suck on, put it in a washcloth and crush it with a mallot (or bottom of a HEAVY coffe mug or meat tenderizer or hammer. ha!) and then place the washcloth with the crushed ice enveloped in it, in your mouth. but yes -- DENTIST!\nmost "COUNTY HOSPITALS" have a dental clinic that is free if you don't have health insurance. they usually ONLY do extractions, give antibiotics and pain relievers. it's first come, first served here in phoenix. it opens @ 6 AM here and i would tell my patients to show up @ 530AM to insure they would be seen (the line gets long) and hopefully, they can get in and out sooner than waiting in line all day and not being seen.\nTMJ (jaw joint) problems can SEEM like wisdom teeth problems. if it's TMJ instead, sleep on your back - not sides or stomach, don't chew gum, relax your jaw (keep lips closed but teeth apart. it's hard at first and can make jaw muscles tired -- but it's usually less painful than the pain you're having now & you get used to doing it), and the same ibuprofen / tylenol / ice regimen will help! good luck!

You can take the St. John's Wort but just mention it to your doctor first.  If you are taking any antidepressants already, there may be an interaction beteen the, and the Wort do don't take them both together. Good luck...

The Tylenol will not affect you liver as much as the drinking will.  \n\nAlcohol causes cirrhosis of the liver.\n\nTylenol is acetaminophen and has a less likely chance of causing liver damage than Advil or any other type of ibuprofen.

Not a good idea. Alcohol dehydrates you and if you have some kind of infection that you need antibiotics for, you need as much fluids as you can get. Hold off on the alcohol til you feel better.

I know in New Zealand Tylenol with a TINY bit of codeine is legal but if your looking for something that strong then you need to get to your doctor. \n\nTrust me pal, too much of that stuff can give you kidney stones like crazy! After my surgery and being on that for awhile...woo lordy!

Anything in large amounts is bad, but a ice cold beer on a hot summers day is good, not because it's intoxicating, but because it's refreshing and relaxing. About the vit b12 i have no clue, but i have heard that a beer or glass of wine a day can help prevent a heart attack, then again i could be misinformed about it so don't quote me.

Take 800mg of Ibuprophen.  That's prescription strength.  It is going to work better than Tylenol because it has an anti-inflammatory in it.
