Interaction Found
Taking ibuprofen with venlafaxine may increase your risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers. This happens because both drugs can irritate your stomach lining. Venlafaxine also affects how your body processes blood thinners, which increases bleeding risk.
What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen with venlafaxine. They may suggest a safer pain reliever like acetaminophen instead. Never stop taking venlafaxine without talking to your doctor first.
