Hello dear
I understand your concern
There is no known interaction between ibuprufen and omeprazole,
You can take it safely.
Take the omeprazole one hour before meal and take ibuprufen after the meal for 3 times daily.
Also apply warm pad application to the painful area, proper rest.
Hope this may help you
