Do you need to take ibuprofen 800 mg with food?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Some patients may find it easier to tolerate when taken with food, but food is not required. Ibuprofen is coated and generally does not cause stomach irritation.

You really should take Ibuprofen with food, or at least milk, it can be very harsh to an empty stomach. Do not mix with alcohol.

While not all people will experience health problems when taking ibuprofen without food, it is recommended that users take it with milk or food in order to prevent stomach and intestinal problems. Many people report stomach pain when taking ibuprofen alone, and in some instances the repeated practice can lead to ulcers.
