Can You Take Ibuprofen and Iron Together?
No documented interaction was identified between ibuprofen and iron in the sources reviewed.
See the full Ibuprofen page and Iron page for other reviewed interactions and reference information.
What the interaction means
Ibuprofen's own FDA label does not name iron anywhere in its Drug Interactions section. The NIH ODS iron fact sheet does not mention ibuprofen or NSAIDs; its interactions section names levodopa, levothyroxine, proton pump inhibitors, and calcium.
No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.
Practical context
Both substances' own current authoritative sources were checked directly, full text, in both directions.
