Can I take clofenac and ceftriaxone together?

Ibuprofen can be taken together with cephalexin, provided that it is taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Cephalosporin is a general term for cephalosporin antibiotics. Cephalosporins are a class of antibiotics obtained by semi-synthetically modifying the side chains of natural cephalosporin C obtained by culturing Cephalosporin C as raw material. Cephalosporin drugs can be distributed in various parts of the body. Therefore, if infection occurs in various tissues and organs, it can be used as long as the pathogenic bacteria are sensitive to cephalosporins. Ibuprofen is an antipyretic and analgesic drug. Its main ingredient, ibuprofen, can inhibit cyclooxygenase and reduce the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby producing analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and has an antipyretic effect through the hypothalamic temperature regulation center. In order to reduce drug interactions and side effects, it is best to take two doses one hour apart. Do not drink alcohol after taking cephalosporins to prevent a disulfiram reaction.
