A member asked:
Hi. i am 46 and have had tooth pain & a nagging headache all day. do i have to wait 4-6 hours after 1250 mg tylenol (acetaminophen) to try 600mg ibuprofen?

No: they work in different ways. Can take at same time even, although would not take more than 2500 mg Tylenol (acetaminophen) a day, your dose of 1250 at once is a bit high.
