Yes, but be careful: Pamprin is naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory like motrin. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is entirely different class of analgesia. They work in different ways to prevent pain and, in the case of pamprin, reduce inflammation. However, both are very strong medications which can be toxic and tend not to be taken as seriously as they should because they're available over-the-counter without a prescription.

Combo therapy: The use of these two agents comes in very handy and obtains a better result when just one isn't enough. If you are doing this combination therapy for just a few days per month, then this should't be an issue. Just mind the dosage parameters on the labels as a general guideline for safety.

Which pamprin? label: Pamprin brand makes several products-some have Naproxen (nsaid, like Ibuprofen or aspirin), others contain Acetaminophen which is the ingredient in tylenol brand acetaminophen. Read the labels. Nsaids and acet. Have different mechanisms-can be added. Total Acetaminophen dose <4000 mg (newly decreased to 3000mg, ; even less if drinking alcohol).
