A member asked:
Can i take ibuprofen 800 mg and 4 hours later take tylenol (acetaminophen) 1000 mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is ok: yes, ibuprofen (an NSAID) is compatible with tylenol (acetaminophen). You can even take them at the same time. However, be careful of dosing. You are reaching maximum dose for each.
