Typically all painkillers and relievers when mixed with alcohol will cause your body to partially process the alcohol to a much more toxic form and have it sit in your liver while your body tries to process the pain medicine first. This toxin sits in your system for a long period of time instead of being converted quickly into digestable sugars making the combination of alcohol and many medicnes, especially pain medicine, very damaging to your liver. Additionally in large doses or weak systems can cause liver failure. Drinking 2 beers and taking 2 Tylenol is as bad for your liver as drinking a bottle of liqour in one sitting, doing this for extended periods of time WILL cause severe if not fatal damage.
NEVER Mix Alcohol With Pain Medicine!!!
Your doctor will not crucify you for wanting to have a few drinks but he will for mixing potentially lethal drug combinations without discussing it first with them.

Can you mix ibrofen and anitbioticas?
Yes
How long does codeine take to work?
depending on the dose and the person but about 10-30 mins faster if taken after food. However the longer you have been taken it the longer it take to work, ive been on it for 10 years and now takes about 30 min to kick in but only lasts about 2 hrs instead of the 4 hrs it is ment to.
How much paracetamal and ibrofen can you take at once?
You can take paracetamol four times a day, and ibuprofen 3 times. So you could take 1000mg of paracetamol (2 tablets, if you're over 12) with breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, and 400mg of ibuprofen (if over 12) mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening, for a painkilling regime where you get to take something every couple of hours. If you were having to do this all day every day, you should be visiting your GP for optimal help with your symptoms. You can take the tablets together, if you had a headache you could take two paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen together, or 500mg of paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen - always better to start with the smaller dose and see if it works for you before going in with the maximum! But you still need to remain within the daily limits described.
