Learn more Ibuprofen details here. The main problem with a tooth ache is that it is going to keep lingering and returning, unless you see a dentist and get the underlying problem taken care of, such as getting a cavity filled or having a root canal done, having the tooth extracted or whatever is required. Have you visited a dentist yet? You need to do so as soon as possible and make sure that you tell them what you were taking to treat the pain, before they do anything.

my mother has been prescribed the above and is worried about high blood presure and the titnus of which she has both is this a problem ? ## According to Medicinenet.com, "you should not use Melfen (ibuprofen) if you have high blood pressure, unless your doctor has explicitly told you that you can." Reason being is that ibuprofen can elevate blood pressure and contribute to water retention. I'm not sure if you meant to say "tinnitus" instead of "titnus", but an article from the University of California Irvine, states that: "Many different medicines can cause tinnitus. The most common medicines that cause tinnitus include aspirin, ibuprofen, naprosyn, among others." Ref: ent.uci.edu/tinnitus.htm With that said, I would probably want to encourage her to ...

Iv had three wisdom reeth extracted two days ago and the pain is getting worse.. Iv been prescribed tablets that don't dont seem to help very much at all.... Is it ok to take two melfen at once as I was told that was te strongest of what I was given. I was also given solpadol tablets too... Can they be mixed? ## Hello, Sazcoyne! How are you? No, the Melfen just contains Ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. However, the Solpadol contains Paracetamol and Codeine, the Codeine is actually a narcotic analgesic, which would likely help a bit more. And no, please don't double up on anything with your dentist's approval. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Can I take these with diclac 75mg? ## Hi, Gav! How are you? No, you shouldn't take both of them. The Ibuprofen in the Melfen and the Diclofenac in the Diclac are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, so essentially you'd be doubling up on the same thing. To help with any possible pain, fever or swelling, only one of them is needed. Learn more Diclac details here. Learn more Melfen details here. Which one has your doctor advised you to take? ## Is difeen the same as melfen

I am taking melfene 200mg i have gained weight since i have been on then can it be a side affect ## Hello, I'm having trouble finding any information on a drug by the name of Melfene, is it possible that you meant to say Melfen? If so, my research tells me that the main ingredient in Melfen is Ibuprofen- a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication used to treat fever and pain, including pain caused by headache, toothache, arthritis, cold or flu, migraine, or menstrual cramps. To my knowledge, weight gain is not a side effect of Ibuprofen. Everyone does react to medication differently however. Have you made any changes to your diet that could be the culprit? Or are you taking any other medications? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Ibuprofen Details

I'm taking salazopyrin (5 x 500mg per day) and also metatrexate (20mg once weekly) for psoratic artritis, I've had a bad flair up can I take melfen 400mg with my normal meds ## Hello, Emma! How are you? No, both the Melfen and Salazopyrin are anti-inflammatories, so you shouldn't double up, unless your doctor specifically says that it is okay for you to do so. As reported by the U.S. FDA, both can cause increased risks of bleeding and stomach ulceration. How often do you experience a bad flare up?

Pulled muscles in my neck & back so I'm in severe pain. Can I take the two meds mentioned above? Thanks. ## No, both of these medications are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories that are used to treat pain, fever, and swelling, so it is best to just stick with one or the other. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Doubling up can increase the risk of liver damage, liver failure, bleeding, and stomach ulceration. Which one has your doctor told you to take?

Fell in france and ankle is just short of broken and was prescribed enantyum 25mg tablets. Managed to work out that they're ibuprofen.
