A member asked:
I took 1000mg of tylenol for period cramps can i take 400mg of ibuprofen on the same day for the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These drugs have different actions and metabolism. You can alternate them provided you limit your total Tylenol dose to no more than 3gram/24hours and 3.2 grams of ibuprofen/24hours.
