The Pepto-Bismol is often indicated by the doctor for stomach problems. Don’t take the Ibuprofen for stomach pain, it will make it worse.
Honestly, I don’t know which kind of problem do you have to take the two medicines, I advise to ask your doctor.
If you are stomach problem, and you need to take the Pepto-Bismol, you don’t have to take the ibuprofen.
Always consult your healthcare provide, either your doctor or your pharmacist for this kind of questions.
At the end, It is your health.
There are no interactions that have been found between Pepto-Bismol and the painkillers in general, or Ibuprofen specifically.
