Treatment and medication
Can I take Methotrexate and Tylenol together?
Taking paracetamol (Tylenol) while on methotrexate is generally safe at standard doses, but there is a small risk that it could increase the levels of methotrexate in your blood or increase the strain on your liver. This is more likely to be a concern if you are taking high doses of methotrexate (usually for cancer) rather than the lower doses used for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis.
Treatment and medication
Can I take Bisoprolol and Ibuprofen together?
Taking ibuprofen while on bisoprolol can make your blood pressure medication less effective. It can also increase the risk of kidney problems and may cause your body to hold onto extra fluid, which can worsen heart failure symptoms.
