Question too broad: OTC pain meds like Advil & Aleve have completely different dosage levels & one can be taken many times a day, the other only once or twice.Tylenol (acetaminophen) has a maximum dosage of 4 g per day or it can cause liver failure.Opiates have a wide range of efficacy & combinations and dosing schedules.You need to talk with your dr. to determine which med is best for you & the dosage.
