If i take 2600 mg of tylenol/day and still in pain at bedtime, how often can i take naproxen at bedtime before it is too often?

Specializes in Pain Management

See a PCP first: The maximum amount of Tylenol (acetaminophen) that you can take is 3000 mg/day. You can add 500 mg Naproxen at bed time. However, always speak with your physician or psychiatrist before taking any medication.
