hi guys sorry just a little question to see if any of you have an answer, I know I should consult my doctor but I take 10mg propanolol when and if required which isn't often, my back if killing me and paracetamol isn't helping is it safe to take ibrofen I'm wondering that if I take ibrofen then I panic later and need my propanolol can j still take it as I only use it for when I'm not feeling too good?
thanks in advance just a little reassurance x

Google says this “Combining these medications may reduce the effects of propranolol in lowering your blood pressure, especially if you use ibuprofen frequently or regularly (for example, to treat arthritis or chronic pain). You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications.”
Def call a pharmacist at your local drug store to double check
Ibuprofen and Propanolol don’t mix well at all. Ibuprofen reduces the effects of propanolol and it took me a while to find what was the cause of propanolol not working correctly. Try to avoid ibuprofen when you can as it will definitely stop it from working.
