Pharmacist Advice

Take DENTIFEN exactly as prescribed. Taking it with food or milk may help reduce stomach irritation. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration.

Do not combine DENTIFEN with other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen or aspirin for pain unless specifically advised by your doctor.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have a history of stomach ulcers/bleeding, kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure or asthma triggered by aspirin/NSAIDs.

Tell your healthcare professional if you take blood thinners, corticosteroids, diuretics or medicines for blood pressure.

DENTIFEN should generally be avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
