Can Ibuprofen And Lyrica Be Taken Together To Manage Pain?

I hope so. I take Lyrical 100mg 2x daily for knee and hip pain following cancer treatment. I also receive pt from a chiropractor, which has helped me a great deal with pain management and mobility. I also take ibuprofen 800mg along with the lyrical. Are there any reasons I should not be on this medication regimen? It seems to be working very well. I have been on it for nearly a year. Thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I'm glad to hear that Lyrica and Ibuprofen have been working well for you, fortunately, there are no interactions between those medications and they should be safe and appropriate for you to continue to use as long as you need to.

Ibuprofen 800mg should be taken no more than every 6 hours, and you may want to have your blood checked every once in a while to make sure your kidneys aren't being affected.

It can also cause GI problems such as stomach ulcers, so if you start to have any stomach pain make sure to let your doctor know right away.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
