I'm not supposed to take aspirin or acetemaphen because of Stage 3 kidney disease. I have fibromyalgia and have a lot of pain. Celebrex worked fine when the doctor let me take 200 mg twice a day. Because of scares about celebrex's possible connection to heart trouble, she cut me down to one a day. At this dosage the celebrex isn't working; so, I'm trying to find an alternative.
Does Ibuprofen contain acetaminophen?

Hey canussaba,
Ibuprofen does not contain acetominophen. They are two different medicines. I would not recommend taking Ibuprofen with the Celebrex though as it can lead to inflammation and bleeding problems if taken in too high of dose and over too long a time.
Best to consult your doctor on this issue. There are alternatives such as Cymbalta and Savella but do not know if you can take either of these because of your kidney disease. Again, please contact the doctor and let him/her know the Celebrex at 200mg once a day is not helping.
Best wishes,
Laurie
