To ease the indigestion why not take the Ibuprofen with a meal or a full glass of water.
Yes, you can take Zantac with your Ibuprofen.

Surely a glass of water isn't enough Sqad?

I understood you needed some fat in the stomach to protect the stomach lining.

[Peter Pedant]

yes you should
as on the package insert
which I think is one tab twice a day

this is a commonly seen issue in the more mature patients

and the ibuprofen-rantidine combination is often used

Hopkirk....a glass of water is quite sufficient.

I have taken ibuprofen a lot over the years, for back problems, and I have been told to always take it with food and not just water.
