A member asked:
I took 2 ibuprofens around 4 this morning, i want to take a tylenol (acetaminophen) for my headache, is that safe?

Yes: Yes. Taking tylenol (acetaminophen) after Ibuprofen is not a problem. If you have severe liver disease, tylenol (acetaminophen) should be avoided.

Yes: You can take both. I would wait a few hours in between and not exceed the suggested dosages of either drug.
