I think so, but call your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist. S/he will be able to give you the correct answer to your question ... most of us would be guessing. Best of luck!

Yes, you can. They won't interact with each other in any negative way toward you. However, it is inadvisable to take both acid reflux medication and ibuprofen, as ibuprofen is often an elevator of acid reflux symptoms. Ibuprofen is rather bad for acid reflux. Instead of Ibuprofen, try acetaminophen (or paracetamol, it's the same thing), which is also an equally effective painkiller, and it won't affect your acid reflux negatively. Just a bit of advice. Regardless, even if you do take the combination you named, it will not affect you negatively. It would just be better for you medically to be taking acetaminophen.
It is very common for many to take a pain killer along with Amoxicillin. This combination will never go wrong, except in the case of allergic reaction to either of the two, in which case you shouldn't be taking one of them anyway.
As for Acid Reflux; I have experienced acid reflux for as long as I can remember, and it just so happens that I kept taking medication for acid reflux while having a rather bad strep throat (I was taking amoxicillin and acetaminophen). I had studied basic pharmacology, and knew there would be no reason for the three drugs to interact negatively; and they didn't. I was fine then, and I'm fine now.
So switch the ibuprofen to acetaminophen, take the amoxicillin and the ranatidine, and you'll feel great soon enough.

If you're not allergic to them, yes you can.
Be aware that Ibuprofen can worsen acid reflux and predispose to ulcers.
However, some doctors will prescribe Ibuprofen in conjuction with Ranitidine or Pantoprazole or some similar medication to offset this.
These medicines are well tolerated.
However, just because many people can take them without side effects, does not mean you will not have side effects.
For instance, Amoxycillin is notorious for causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and rash in some people
The more medicines you take, the greater the risk of side effects or drug interactions
Good luck

My immediate thought is that it should be OK because I have taken those 3 medications together as well. But I would recommend for safety's sake to check with your pharmacist. If you do not feel like checking with your pharmacist, you can always use www.mayoclinic.com or WebMD.com to check for problems with taking all 3 together. Hope you get feeling better!

I'm sorry, but I see more and more questions like this. This is a question for your doctor or pharmacist! Sure, there are some very bright users on this site, but you could also risk getting an answer from a guy wearing ruffled purple panties on his head who sings "Ol' McDonald had a farm" all day.
