Hello,

Misoprostol and ibuprofen do not interact with each other so yes, you can take ibuprofen (up to 800 mg) before taking misoprostol.

However, mifepristone may increase the blood levels and effects of Ibuprofen, even after you have stopped taking mifepristone for a while.

You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
