Specializes in Internal Medicine

Tylenol (acetaminophen): You are right, you should not take other NSAIDs like ibuprofen/motrin/advil or naproxen/aleve when you have an ulcer. If you are having pain unrelated to your stomach, your doctor can prescribe narcotic pain medications. If the pain is related to your stomach, please discuss with your doctor the best treatment for your ulcer.
