Is It Safe To Take Z-pak While Taking Ibuprofen For Sinus Infection?
I thought I had the start of a sinus infection and was out of town. I put a call into my doctor and she got me a prescription for a Z-pack. I took started it that night (Friday) and have been taking ibuprofen every 4-5 hours as I have pain in my left ear, in front of ear and going down my jawline
Hi, Thanks for writing your query. You can take Z pack along with Ibuprofen. I would also suggest that you should take a probiotic along with it as Z pack can cause loose motion due to disturbance in normal intestinal flora which helps in the process of digestion and absorption of food. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
