I can not take Advil (ibuprofen),What type of pain medication can I use instead of that??

Answer 1

If it is muscle - aleve

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 2

Before taking this medicine

Ibuprofen can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term or take high doses, or if you have heart disease. Even people without heart disease or risk factors could have a stroke or heart attack while taking this medicine.
Do not use this medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Ibuprofen may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using ibuprofen, especially in older adults.
You should not use ibuprofen if you are allergic to it, or if you have ever had an asthma attack or severe allergic reaction after taking aspirin or an NSAID.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
- heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or if you smoke;
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
- a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding;
- asthma;
- liver or kidney disease;
- fluid retention; or
- a connective tissue disease such as Marfan syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, or lupus.
Taking ibuprofen during the last 3 months of pregnancy may harm the unborn baby.Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are pregnant.
It is not known whether ibuprofen passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give ibuprofen to a child younger than 2 years old without the advice of a doctor.

Answer 3

With any type of medication, it would be best to speak with your doctor or a chemist. Chemists will be able to recommend the best time of medication for your problem that does not contain Ibuprofen. For minor headache relief (if that is more what you are looking for) try plain old ordinary asprin. Still the best there is.

Answer 4

It depends on why you can't take ibuprofen. Is it an allergy reason or does is simply upset your stomach? Other pain options are Naproxen Sodium, Acetaminophen but I'd recommend asking your pharmacist or doctors first.
You should take any of these with a snack and a glass of water to avoid stomach upset.

Answer 5

ibuprofen is an asprin based drug and has an effect on you blood. paracetemol is an alternative and works well.

I cannot take anything based on asprin eg as above, anti inflammatory etc.

check with the pharmacist to see if the pain killer has any asprin in it. you can try a combo of paracetemol and codeine but watch the codeine as you may have a reaction to that also (I can't take codeine)

your pharmacist (not the shop assistant) will help you find a suitable OTC pain reliever.

Answer 6

Tylenol (acetaminophen), or if over 21 or so, aspirin. You could also try Alleve (which works for a longer period of time than any mentioned--but not everyone can take that, either).

Answer 7

Tylonol

Answer 8

Talk to your doctor. I would say something like Tylenol or BC. Ask your doctor first. Good luck =)

Answer 9

Tylenol or asprin, talk to your doctor to be on the safe side.

Answer 10

ponstan or mefenamic acid
