My dog is sore. Can he take Carprofen with Carafate and Omeprazole?

Question

My two standards poodles had a pretty hard collision playing ball. One was fine, the other was limping for awhile after. He is walking normal now, but does appear sore. We have Carprofen on hand because this has happened so many times. Is it safe to give him 50mg of Carprofen? He is also on carafate and omeprazole for acid refulx. I just wanted to make sure there are no drug interactions since he was not on these the last time he had Carprofen. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 6 months old | 56.2 lbs

There are no drug interactions between omeprazole, carafate and carprofen however, don't give them all together. You would want to give the carprofen either 1 hour prior or 1 hour after giving the others. Carafate and Omeprazole given at the same time as carprofen will inhibit it's absorption. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
