Q: took 800 mg ibuprofen and 1000 mg tylenol @ 1820. took the same dose again at 2230 by accident. forgot it was in my hs meds too. should i worry?

No worry: Remember ibuprofen can induce gastric bleeding &amp; other side effects. Only if you have liver disease &amp; alcoholism need to worry about tylenol- up to 4000 mg/day is allowed.
