Can I take Buscopan and Ibuprofen at the same time?

Just that really, google says it's fine but my stomach is quite sensitive so I wondered if anyone could reassure me they've done it and been ok? Am having investigations for endometriosis and ibuprofen is the only thing that touches the pain but I do have to be careful as too much upsets my stomach. An ibs flare up and endo pain together are not fun, buscopan is working for the ibs but the endo pain is getting really bad now and I'm scared to take the ibuprofen Xmas Sad

You need to eat before ibuprofen.

Yes it should be absolutely fine, but I agree you shouldn't take the ibuprofen on an empty stomach or it could irritate it.

Have eaten fairly recently, had dinner early for us and couldn't sleep for the endo pain so I got too empty which is why my ibs has flared so had something bland an hour or so ago. Between that and the buscopan my stomach is settling, it's just this awful endo pain because my period started yesterday. Going ahead with the ibuprofen and then to try and get comfy with a hot water bottle in bed. Thank you for the reassurance, I hate taking pills and the endo is relatively new so I'm not really used to needing them.

In short, yes.
Better to have a little food first or a glass of milk.
Hope you feel better soon.
