James t Klerk is wrong. You can take Ibuprofen and Paracetamol together, they are 2 totally different drugs. However, never exceed the recommended dose of no more than 1 gram of Paracetamol at a time, with a mimimum of 4 hours between doses, and a max of 4g in 24 hours, and no more than 400mg of Ibuprofen every 6 - 8 hours, and only 3 doses in 24 hours.

Hi there I am a dental nurse, you can take painkillers with metronidazole, but you must not drink alcohol, it can make you really ill, you can alternate ibruprofen and paracetamol as long as you do not take more than the reccomended dose of each, salt water mouthwashes will help the infection also, one teaspoon of salt in some warm water hope this helps

Yes. Metronizadol is an antibiotic so you aren't risking an overdose by taking it with ibuprofen or paracetamol.
You shouldn't take 'i' and 'p' together, tho'!

While you are on Metronidazole,which is an antibiotic ,do not drink alcohol until you have finished the course.Drinking alcohol while on this drug may cause nausea,vomiting and abdominal pain.

DONT USE THE PARACETAMOL...IBUPROFEN WILL TAKE THE INFLAMATION DOWN AND I THINK metronidazole IS AN ANTIBIOTIC

painkillers will not intervene with the action of antibiotics, and vice-versa, so i don't see any reason why you can't take them. obviously you needed an analgesia, take Ibuprofen as it's an anti-inflammatory analgesic
