Can i stop taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen pills abruptly after 8 days of use? i take two acetaminophen pills ( 500 mg each ) and one ibuprofen pill ( 400 mg ) every 8 hours?

It has to do with the initial plan and based on the condition that triggered the treatment in the first place. Such drugs can be safely stopped most of the time, there is no risk for withdrawal, rebound pain symptoms are sometimes seen and that’s why is important to have a formal follow up with your treating doc.

Yes, you can stop abruptly. There will not be any withdrawal symptoms other than feeling pain if the issue that caused you to take these medication has not resolved.
