A member asked:

Took an aleve 3 hours ago but just now took an asprin and a single tylenol (acetaminophen). oops? never taken them so close together before. bad idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad idea: Your mixing medications is not a good idea. The overlap of the effects from the meds is not advisable Stick with one of the meds, and use it as directed.
