Question : Can I take ibuprofen or any headache medicine if I’m taking prescribed antihistamines?
I woke up with a headache and I’m taking prescribed antihistamines and prescribed nasal spray for allergies, will taking any type of headache medicine have a negative effect on me. I’m not sure if I should take something or not. Any thoughts?

There is no drug interaction between the antihistamines and ibuprofen. It is, indeed, safe to take them together.

A normal dose shold be fine, just follow the dirrections on the package. Ibuprofen is a very common medicine, doctors/ pharmacists assume people take it sometime.
If you were specifically NOT supposed to take it, they would have mentioned. For example, (being a girl) every time I am prescribed antibiotics, they ALWAYS tell me it can interfer with birthcontrol pills, even if I’m not on them. Also certain antidepressants can’t be mixed with ANYTHING, but they drowned you in the literature so their is no question.
If the headache gets worse, or doesn’t get better in a couple days, call you doc.

I believe it is ok to take the two together without any drug interactions, as I do know someone who does this and is fine.
