Can You Take Ibuprofen with Lisinopril?

Linda Girgis | MD

Yes, you can take ibuprofen with lisinopril, but caution is required due to potential interactions. Taking NSAIDs like ibuprofen with ACE inhibitors like lisinopril can reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects and potentially increase kidney strain. Studies show this combination may increase blood pressure by 5-10 mmHg in some patients. Short-term use of standard ibuprofen doses (400-600mg every 6-8 hours) is generally considered acceptable for most people. However, regular or high-dose ibuprofen use should be avoided. Always consult your healthcare provider before combining these medications, especially if you have kidney problems or take other medications.
