They are totally different meds. You can take it as needed.

Question 2

What is the difference between advil and tylenol. thanks so much for answering this question it means a lot to me!!!!!

Accepted Answer

Tylenol is acetaminophen - metabolized by the liver ; it helps alleviate fever and pain but has no anti-inflammatory properties.   Advil is ibuprofen and is metabolized by the kidneys. It helps with pain by minimizing the inflammatory cascade. 
People with renal insufficiency should avoid Advil.  People with liver problems should avoid Tylenol.

Question 3

I have taken 5 tylenol at 500 mg & 4 advil at 200 mg since 11 am. i am approximately 135 lbs & have eaten with every dosage. can i take advilpm now?

Accepted Answer

Why are you taking this many pain pills? If the pills you have taken have not provided relief, taking more will only cause toxicity without providing relief. If you have severe pain, consult your doctor or go to the emergency room of a nearby hospital for an evaluation.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 4

Is tylenol better than advil for headache?

Accepted Answer

They both may relieve headache. Advil has an additional effect of being anti-inflammatory and Tylenol does not but doesn't irritate the stomach lining or cause fluid retention. Because of this I would favor taking Tylenol if it's effective.

Accepted Answer

A number of things should be noted from your questions. First - it is generally not a good practice to take medication, whether "over-the-counter" or prescription, from someone else. Even well intentioned friends may not know important details of your medical history that may make it unwise or dangerous to use certain medications. Second - "tylenol" is a brand name for acetaminophen, and "advil" is a brand name for ibuprofen. Although both of these medications can be used for fever or pain reduction, they are different types of medication. Whether either of them is safe or correct for you to use could only be determined based on your medical background: important facts would include medications you may take for chronic conditions, and any history of allergies or intolerance of other medications. Third - there are many online "pill identifier" websites now; but the medication you are referring to may not be referenced since it is an over-the-counter product. Better to consult with your physician about what medications are right for you, and take only medication that you can verify by it's source bottle or package.

Question 7

Can one take tylenol or advil while on paxil?

Accepted Answer

YEs but check all other meds you are on for interactions by going to Drugs.com

Question 8

What to do if i had a brow lift and tylenol/advil are not helping?

Accepted Answer

I would normally give some narcotic pain medication after this operation.  I would see your doc and let him/her examine you to make sure u are not having any complications and to possibly be given a prescription for stronger medication.

Question 9

What are some alternatives to tylenol/advil that can relieve pain from a brow lift?

Accepted Answer

There are many options but most are prescription (such as hydrocodone and other narcotic analgesics) but also include medications such as tramadol, Celebrex (celecoxib) as two of the more popular non-narcotic medications. Topical medications may also provide some alternative options as well as ice compresses or distraction therapy with light vibration or massage.

Question 10

Can i take tylenol or advil 24 hours before pfizer/moderna vaccination?

Accepted Answer

Some actually suggest you do so. I have no reason to believe it would interfere with the vaccine or increase your risks of any side effects. It may reduce some of the soreness many experience.
