I should clarify: I didn't take them together, but about an hour apart. And both were with food. I've never had problems with that "family", but I still protect the tummy. I'm going to have to smack my pharmacist for saying that Ultram was an antiinflamatory. If I need synthetic morphene, I know how to get that... comes in little colorful chiles...

OK, George, I believe you, BUT....a gentle warning from a member of the medicine profession here. NEVER,Never ever mix ibuprofen and aspirin. They are "of the same family"and you are lucky to not have a huge gaping hole in your stomach. Musta been the chile exposure granting you cast iron stomach status. You can mix acetominephen and ibuprofen all you want to the max dosage(1000 mg acetominephen, 800 mg ibuprofen)as long as you are not allergic to either. And Ultram is a synthetic morphine, not an antiinflammatory. And the Cap cream is good stuff, tho rather pricey. Would anyone have any idea about making homemade cap cream?
