Drug: New research shows that combining acetaminophen with ibuprofen may have better effects than taking either of these ingredients alone especially for acute pain after a minor surgical procedure., But always becareful about how much pain medication you are taking.

Generally yes: Tyelenol or "acetaminophen" has a different mechanism of action than ibuprofen and these two medicines are generally compatible. If you are treating allergies or sinusitis try an allergy medicine that does not contain tyelenol such as cetirizine or loratatdine.
