Can I take Advil and a muscle relaxant?

37-year-old woman3 years ago

I took 2 Advil liquigel because I lost a piece of tooth and I have pain. I also have a sore shoulder for a while because I think I crysp during the night and I use my teeth so I wanted to take 1 muscle relaxant to sleep well. Can I take both at the same time?

Hello Ma'am,

You can take both medications (Advil and a muscle relaxant), yes.

On the other hand, you should avoid taking the muscle relaxant for too long, as it can cause problems, especially with constipation.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
