Question I take Apo-Zopiclone 7.5 mgs to sleep... Can I also take Ibuprofen 600 mgs to relieve my back pain?
Answer There have been no documented drug interactions between Apo-Zopiclone and ibuprofen. The only caution would be to make sure you take the ibuprofen with food since either drug separately can cause nausea and taking them together may worsen this.
