PubMed indexes 8 records that name Ibuprofen and Potassium together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Ibuprofen and Potassium. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“Based on the results, taking multi-dose DFK 50 mg by the clock had better analgesic outcomes than multi-dose IBU 400 mg for PEP management. (EEJ-2022-01-07).”
Names both Ibuprofen and Potassium in its title.
“Conclusions: Diclofenac potassium was more effective than paracetamol or ibuprofen for reducing postoperative pain associated with tooth extraction and deep cavity preparation. Patients' distress levels can be alleviated by using preemptive analgesics.”
Names both Ibuprofen and Potassium in its title.
“No serious adverse effects were reported. In conclusion, diclofenac potassium has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of acute ankle sprains and it had a rapid onset of action and good tolerability.”
Names both Ibuprofen and Potassium in its title.
“Ibuprofen-arginine gel and potassium nitrate with sodium fluoride proved equally effective in managing post-bleaching dentin hypersensitivity without compromising esthetic outcomes. The combination of ibuprofen and arginine represents a safe, cost-effective, and efficient alternative, offering clinical benefits and expanding therapeutic options for dental practitioners in daily practice.”
Names both Ibuprofen and Potassium in its title.
“The Kel for hydroxy-ibuprofen increased from 0.71 +/- 0.94 hr(-1) to 0.81 +/- 0.21 hr(-1) (p<0.05) respectively. The study has indicated that sodium/potassium salt extract significantly decreased the bioavailability of ibuprofen.”
Names both Ibuprofen and Potassium in its title.
“The administration of preemptive analgesics can induce superior intraoperative analgesia for patients with irreversible pulpitis. However, strategies such as co-administration of certain types of analgesics and anesthetic solution might be predictors of treatment effect. Additionally, there was no association between different timing and dosage of analgesics and treatment effect.”
Names Ibuprofen and Potassium together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
Names Ibuprofen and Potassium together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“Pharmacodynamic effects were seen with oral diclofenac (urine output) and ibuprofen (urine sodium excretion). Furosemide also affected plasma and urine pharmacokinetic profiles. Pharmacologic effects of DETP on furosemide were not observed under these conditions. Additional research is warranted to delineate the potential interactions of other NSAIDs with furosemide and other loop diuretics.”

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Ibuprofen, Potassium, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
