Does Ibuprofen contain aspirin?
610526
No.  Ibuprofen, like other 2-arylpropionate derivatives (including ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, naproxen, etc) contains a chiral carbon in the α-position of the propionate moiety. As such there are two possible enantiomers of ibuprofen with the potential for different biological effects and metabolism for each enantiomer.

Take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.

Aspirin\n\nOnly its acetylsalicylic acid

ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug.  So it can be used anytime one has inflamation that is not caused by infection, or for general aches and pains.  The prescription strength of this drug is 800mg.

81 mg aspirin are commonly prescribed for heart patients as a daily medication.  The law of supply and demand drives the price up...

No, actually, it's good for you. Also, when my neighbor went into the ER with chest pains, they gave her 4 childrens chewable aspirins right away. Aspirin thins your blood, and helps to keep you from having a heart attack. Just use caution, because some people are allergic to aspirin. If you aren't allergic, then it's a good thing. \n\nAlso, when I broke my ankle and was in a cast, my doctor insisted that I take an aspirin every day to keep from getting blood clots where the cast was. Aspirin is good for many things...not just for headaches anymore!

Absolutely. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are very dangerous. Ibuprofen, in fact, can increase your risk of heart attack (http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=635702005), or more commonly, cause internal bleeding.  The best thing you can do is to figure out what's causing the pain, and then eliminate the cause.

The answer to this is that yes it can probably happen.  You should probably stop reading right here and see a doctor, but since you probably want to know more before visting a doctor I have given an explanation of this phenomenon.\n\nIbuprofen and other NSAIDs are cox enzyme inhibitors.  Nonselective NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen) inhibt both cox 1 and cox 2, while cox-2 specifc NSAIDs (Celebrex) inhibit only cox 2.  Cox 2 enzymes make prostaglandins, which is a class of compounds that do many things in many different places, including an involvement in the body's inflammatory repsonse mechanism.  Prostaglandins also have a function of reducing intraocular pressure in the eye.  \n\nIn one study of the cox 2 inhibitor Celebrex, intraocular pressure increased slightly, but not signifcantly enough for concern.  NSIADs seem not to display this effect, at least not as strongly generally, but medications can have rare side effects in a small group of people. \n\nI do not know how substantial this effect is, but your eyes are sensitive and very valuable organs.  You should see the doctor.

It depends on the medication mostly. But yes many medications can cause bleeding on their own, and the chances of this are increased if you take it along with other medications.\n\nNSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) have this as a side effect. this is why many people who take aspirin on a daily basis are advised to take the aspirin ec, which is entericoated and causes the  medication to be released inthe intestinal tract rather than the stomach.\n\nOther meds inthe NSAID category are ibuprofen (advil and motrin), and naproxen sodium (aleve). These should not be taken together.\n\nIf you take aspirin as a maintenance drug and need a pain reliever, it would be wise to ask your doctor for specific instruction but mostly they recommend tylenol (acetometaphen) since it is not an NSAID and doesn't upset the stomach as much.\n\nAny time an NSAID is taken, drink milk or take it after eating something.

Please get yourself to your doctor.  In the interim, ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.

NSAIDS each have the same basic property- inhibiting COX 1 and COX 2. However, people do respond to each one differently.  Some people with arthiritis swear by alieve, while others prefer Advil.  Like everything else, it is trial and error.  Each drug has a slightly different chemical form, which is why they are marketed under different names.  it is basically trial and error to find which NSAID is right for you. However, too much NSAID usage can cause GI upset/bleeding.  That is the side effect which everyone fears.  Use them sparingly especially with a prior history of ulcers.

It is best if you check in with your physician first, but I would say yes.  Just don't take large amounts and don't use it more frequently then suggested. \nMy husband is on coumadin and he is allowed to take Tylenol per his doctor.  Just don't use any anti inflammatory agents like ibuprofen, aspirin or aleve (naproxen) without checking with your physician as they effect the clotting ability of your blood too.

NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) are great because they not only alleviate pain, they also decrease swelling.  Ibuprofen is available over the counter, and is frequently recommended for post-extraction pain.\nNarcotics or narcotic combinations are popular prescription medications for pain.  While quite effective for relieving pain, they also can be addictive, and can cause respiratory depression in overdose.  The most common formulations are:\nPercocet: oxcodone with acetominophen (tylenol)\nPercodan: oxycodone with aspirin\nVicodin: hydrocodone with acetominophen\nTylenol #3: codeine with tylenol\n\nThe NSAIDs are non-sedating, but you should not drive, etc. while taking narcotic pain killers.

Let’s see:\nParacetamol is an analgesic antipyretic meanwhile Aspirin is an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory. There’re 3 substances in the cells of the body called COX-1 COX-2 and COX-3 enzymes (COX-3 is not well known today) \nWhen COX-1 is active provoke augmentation fo mucocus production in the stomach which protects it from acid damage.\nWhen COX-2 is active provoke pain, swelling and fever (what we are interested in) but also bronchial constriction. \nWhen COX-3 is active provoke pain and fever.\nParacetamol works blocking COX-3 enzyme and Aspirin works blocking COX-1 and COX-2.
