Can Metformin be taken safely with over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen? What precautions should patients observe?
Yes, Metformin can generally be taken with ibuprofen. However, caution is advised, especially for patients with kidney issues. Monitor for any unusual symptoms and stay hydrated.
Taking Metformin with ibuprofen is usually safe, but patients should watch for signs of low blood sugar and reduced kidney function. Drink plenty of fluids and check your blood sugar levels regularly.
