Robitussin<\/span><\/a> is a <\/span>cough suppressant<\/span> medication<\/span><\/a>. There are different formulations of Robitussin that may help with congestion and <\/span>cough.<\/span><\/a> These can be <\/span>symptoms of a respiratory tract infection<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>bronchitis<\/span>, or <\/span>sinus<\/span> infection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibuprofen<\/span><\/a> is a <\/span>nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug<\/span> (<\/span>NSAID<\/span><\/a>), <\/span>fever reducer<\/span>, and <\/span>over-the-counter medication<\/span> that relieves pain. You may have seen it in stores as <\/span>Advil<\/span> or <\/span>Motrin<\/span>, the common brand-name versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can take most formulations of these two medicines together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you take <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> together?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most forms of Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> can be combined safely. \u201cPlain <\/span>Robitussin<\/span>, which contains only <\/span>guaifenesin<\/span>, is safe to take with <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>,\u201d says<\/span> Dr. Aaron Emmel, Pharm.D., BCPS<\/span><\/a>, the founder of <\/span>Pharmacy Tech Scholar<\/span><\/a>. \u201c<\/span>Guaifenesin<\/span>, when taken in recommended amounts, is typically well-tolerated, so I wouldn\u2019t say there are significant risks to mixing it with <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>.\u201d He adds that they won\u2019t interfere with each other\u2019s effectiveness, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, according to Dr. Emmel, mixing those meds can be beneficial when <\/span>treating the common cold<\/span><\/a> or a minor respiratory infection. The guaifenesin in Robitussin may loosen <\/span>phlegm<\/span> and make coughing more productive. Many Robitussin formulas also contain dextromethorphan (DM), which is a cough suppressant. <\/span>Ibuprofen<\/span> can treat fever, inflammation, aches, and pains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other <\/span>cold medications<\/span> can be taken with <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>, too\u2014but be careful about which one you choose. \u201cSome cough medications (particularly ones labeled cold\/flu relief) may have <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> or another similar NSAID (such as aspirin or <\/span>naproxen<\/span>), and these should not be mixed with <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>,\u201d says <\/span>Dr. Bryan Cochran, MD<\/span><\/a>, a family medicine physician at MedStar Health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some formulations of Robitussin contain phenylephrine, which is a decongestant. If you have high blood pressure, it\u2019s probably best to avoid taking those formulations. And it\u2019s best not to combine decongestants with ibuprofen if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Emmel says <\/span>dextromethorphan<\/span>, antihistamines, and <\/span>decongestants<\/span> are generally safe; however, he warns about decongestants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne consideration is that <\/span>decongestants<\/span> can increase blood pressure,\u201d he says. \u201c<\/span>Ibuprofen<\/span> can increase blood pressure and reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure-lowering medications, so individuals with <\/span>high blood pressure<\/span> should use caution when considering either medication alone and especially with combining them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Each medication has its risks, too. Dr. Cochran says <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> has broad <\/span>side effects<\/span>, such as kidney damage and gastrointestinal bleeding, though the risk isn\u2019t increased by adding plain <\/span>Robitussin<\/span>. He adds that <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> can have adverse effects, too, such as dizziness, <\/span>drowsiness<\/span>, headache, rash, nausea, and vomiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Dr. Cochran agrees the two can usually be taken together safely, he encourages talking with a <\/span>healthcare professional<\/span> first. \u201cEven though both medications are <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span>, you should always ask your doctor before taking them as you may have specific conditions that would be affected by them,\u201d he says. (Case in point: <\/span>high blood pressure<\/span>.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> have <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> in it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>active ingredients<\/span> in <\/span>Robitussin<\/span><\/a> formulations may include <\/span>acetaminophen<\/span>, <\/span>dextromethorphan<\/span>, <\/span>guaifenesin<\/span>, and phenylephrine. In other words, <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> does not have <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> in it, so people should be able to take it even if they\u2019re allergic to <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a 100% guarantee, though. \u201cIf you are allergic to <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>, it is not expected that you would have a reaction to <\/span>Robitussin<\/span>, but you should always talk to your doctor before starting any new medication,\u201d Dr. Cochran says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just remember you should not <\/span>take <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> at all if you\u2019ve had an allergic reaction to any of its ingredients, have <\/span>high blood pressure<\/span> or heart disease, take MAO <\/span>inhibitors<\/span>, or are a young child. Additionally, before taking this medicine, let your <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> know if you\u2019re using tricyclic antidepressants, antihypertensives, beta blockers, or any other medications.<\/span><\/p>\n

What happens if you take <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> together?<\/span><\/h2>\n

No major, common implications result from taking plain <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> together. \u201cThere are no specific <\/span>side effects<\/span> from the combination of <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>, but separately, they can each have notable <\/span>side effects<\/span>,\u201d Dr. Cochrain says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Emmel’s only warning is that both medications can cause an upset stomach, so there may be a slightly increased risk when you take them both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Health effects are generally unlikely, however. \u201cExcessive amounts of <\/span>guaifenesin<\/span> intake have been associated with kidney stones, and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> is known to potentially cause kidney issues, but this is a stretch of a concern with the combination of the two products,\u201d he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The risk lies more in <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>, or an NSAID, alone\u2014especially if other <\/span>health conditions<\/span> are present. Dr. Emmel says NSAIDs are associated with an increased risk of <\/span>heart attacks<\/span>, strokes, kidney toxicity, gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding, and increased blood pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you experience significant abdominal pain, bloody stools or urine, new, significant rashes, or signs of a <\/span>heart attack<\/span> or stroke, seek medical attention immediately, he urges.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPatients should always seek counseling prior to taking NSAIDs if they have any <\/span>health conditions<\/span> or take any medications,\u201d Dr. Emmel adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have questions about the specific ingredients in different Robitussin formulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long should I wait to take <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> after taking <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Emmel says the standard <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> dosage<\/span><\/a> for adults is 200 to 400 mg, three to four times daily.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would exercise caution that anyone considering <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span> over-the-counter<\/span> discuss it with their pharmacist or prescriber if they have any conditions or take prescription medications,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>dosage for <\/span>guaifenesin<\/span><\/a> is similar: 200 mg to 400 mg every four hours, as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t remember that, or want to be extra safe? Check the bottle and seek <\/span>medical advice<\/span>. \u201cAs there are various dosages and formulations on the market, always follow the instructions on the back of the medication bottle as to what is a safe dose to take,\u201d Dr. Cochran says. \u201cIf you have questions, please ask your doctor.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it safe to take <\/span>Robitussin<\/span> and <\/span>ibuprofen<\/span>?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, most people can safely take Robitussin and ibuprofen together. But check the ingredients on the formulation you\u2019re taking. Different combinations of medications sold as Robitussin might not be right for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consult your <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> for more specific information, especially if you have chronic health conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
