ibuprofen (advil, motrin) is an anti-inflammatory and an anti-pyretic (lowers a fever). Amoxicillin (a penicillin) is an antibiotic. If one follows their physician's orders, yes, these two medications may be taken together.

While I am definitely not a doctor and will suggest visiting one for a final verdict that's more specific to your condition, I can say that I have been prescribed Tylenol 3 along with amoxicillin (500mg) and Ibuprofen (600mg) after getting 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out.

Can you take amoxicillin and co codamol and ibuprofen and Sudafed together?

You can take Amoxicillin with any of the three, as Amoxicillin is an anti-biotic and co-codamol, ibuprfen and sudafed are not anti-biotics. Amoxicillin will not interact with these other drugs. Amoxicillin should not be taken if you have any Allergies to Penicillin, Amoxicillin or any of it's ingredients. Amoxicillin should be taken with caution if you are women taking the Birth Control pill, as it can in some cases render the birth control pill in-affective and a back up method, such as condoms whilst taking Amoxicillin and up to two weeks after finishing Amoxcillin. Co-Codamol contains a combination of Acetaminophen (aka Paracetamol) and Codine as a phosphate. Some combinations contain up to 500-1000mg's of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol). Sudafed Contains Pseudoephedrine and Acetaminophen (Paracetamol). Therefore, because both Co-Codamol combinations and Sudafed combinations contain Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) they should not be taken together, as the potential for overdoes of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) is strongly increased. The potential for liver and renal damage is also strongly increased. ibuprofen can be taken with all three drugs - Amoxicillin, Co-Codamol and Sudafed, as none of these three drugs contain Ibuprofen as an ingredient. Ibuprofen should always be taken with care, as directed and taken with food to prevent ulcers of the stomach. It is also unlikely you will need to take Co-Codamol and Ibuprofen together, as Co-Codamol is a strong pain killer and taking it together with ibuprofen will be unlikely to have any benefit. You may consider taking Sudafed and Ibuprofen together if you have a Cold or the Flu as the Ibuprofen will assist in reducing any muscle pain, aches or inflammation, whilst the Sudafed works on all the other Cold and Flu symptoms. You should always consult your Doctor or Pharmacist before mixing multiple drugs, as you could potentially harm yourself.


Can you take ibuprofen with amoxicillin and hydrocodone?

You need to check with your pharmacist first. Amoxicillin should not be a problem but there are many forms of hydrocodone (combination products) so you need to really consult a pharmacist before taking any over the counter products especially Tylenol (Acetaminophen).

May you take advil with Amoxicillin to kill the pain?

You should always consult a doctor for such questions. But generally speaking you can. Advil's active ingredient is ibuprofen, which is an anti-inflamatory agent. Amoxicillin in a common antibiotic (think it is a derivative of peniccillin). I doubt there will be any interaction between these two.

I am not a dr., but I remember clearly that ibuprofen/motrin/advil was a no-no during pregnancy. Pretty sure acetaminophen/tylenol is ok. Check with your dr. or pharmacist.
