IS 'Ibuprofen' For Inflammation In The Knee And 'Apo-Omeprazole ' 20mg Both Daily For Hepatitis C Patient Safe?

I am a Hepatitis C patient with very little liver damage. I was taking Ibuprofen daily for inflammation in my knee and my doctor prescribed Apo-Omeprazole, 20mg daily. Is it alright for me to take this medication or is there a risk of damage to my liver?
