Not necessarily as Ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory, can interact negatively with other medications being taken.
I take daily medication after having a heart attack some 12 years' ago. To take Ibuprofen with the medication already prescribed would actually negate the effects of one of those, causing me considerable heart problems.
It's surprising what does affect us and any existing medications so always check first with the GP or pharmacist before taking any medication, they have all the facts and can advise. This also includes herbal remedies as some have similar properties to prescribed and over-the-counter medications.
