They are ok to take : You can take 600 mg ibuprophen. And 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6 hours for pain, unless you have a medical condition that prohibits these. Work with your trainer.

Possibly but...: I would maybe call a pharmacist and ask. You have to be careful post-marathon with dehydration and meds- potential terrible stomach problems
