Assuming two 500mg tablets of Tylenol (acetaminophen), you could take some ibuprofen as well. Some doctors will prescribe this as both drugs work in different (but similar) ways. You need to be careful of the dosage of Ibuprofen that you take. I would recommend reading this article: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_take_acetaminophen_and_ibuprofen_together

Yes, but do not take them in excess. If you have cirrhosis or liver problems, simply take the Tylenol with Codeine 3. Tylenol and Ibuprofen have the same effects and mechanisms of action, so there is no reason, unless explicitly instructed by your physician, to take them both together.DON'T DO IT. Use of Tylenol with other pain relievers (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen or prescription pain relievers) is not recommended, unless directed by your doctor. Don't take Tylenol(acetaminophen) with other acetaminophen products. You can exceed the daily recommended limits and cause liver damage. Dosage is different for kids and adults. A five year old took four Tylenol and had irreparable liver damage.research it at www.Tylenol.com. Don't listen to message boards. Talk to your doctor.
