A member asked:

I'm currently taking aleve-d for a sinus infection. is it safe to also take tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for immediate pain relief?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not Ibuprofen.: Two nsaids simultaneously is asking for trouble. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is less of a problem, but do not overdose.

No ibuprofen: Tylenol (acetaminophen) is ok with aleve. Ibuprofen and aleve are both similar medications and should not be combined.
