Does anyone know if cuprofen (a ibuprofen tablet maximum strengh) cause any problems with the pill.?

Answer:
i dont think so its not a antibiotic

I have never heard of that interacting with the pill, but antibiotics can mess it up. Call your local pharmacy and ask them, they will be glad to help you.

No, it shouldn't. Only ani-biotics cause trouble and causes the pill to become ineffective.

I doubt it. I was recommended to take this last week by my local chemist, he is very knowledgeable and if there was any chance of it affecting the pill, I'm sure he would have advised me. It is just a painkiller.

Cuprofen is a 400mg table which is the same dose and taking two of the regular (it makes no difference how). I used take ibuprofen regularly and I am on the pill and there is no interaction. Cuprofen will not stop the pill working.

They are fine to take with the pill, you dont need to worry about any medicine really (even antibiotics) if you are on a progesterone only pill.
