ibuprofen and Tylenol work on different mechanisms, these drugs can be LETHAL if you take an overdose. Many teenagers have died after swallowing a bottle of Tylenol.

Ibuprofen can cause intestinal bleeding and ulcers.

Tylenol can cause liver failure or even death!

You can safely take Tylenol and Ibuprofen together as they are totally different drugs the combination of drugs controls high fevers, aches and pains, and several other conditions. However as with any drug you should speak with your doctor/pharmacist before taking anything new.

Ibuprofen is considered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meaning it blocks pain and reduces inflammation.

Tylenol is an analgesic (pain reliever) which is used for pain relief and fever reduction.

These drugs can cause serious side effects, so make sure you read the label, and the prescribing information before you take the drugs. If in doubt speak with your pharmacist who is very knowledgeable in this area and will advise you of the correct dosage, and the contraindications of the two drugs combined.

Can you take amoxicillin and co codamol and ibuprofen and Sudafed together?

You can take Amoxicillin with any of the three, as Amoxicillin is an anti-biotic and co-codamol, ibuprfen and sudafed are not anti-biotics. Amoxicillin will not interact with these other drugs. Amoxicillin should not be taken if you have any Allergies to Penicillin, Amoxicillin or any of it's ingredients. Amoxicillin should be taken with caution if you are women taking the Birth Control pill, as it can in some cases render the birth control pill in-affective and a back up method, such as condoms whilst taking Amoxicillin and up to two weeks after finishing Amoxcillin. Co-Codamol contains a combination of Acetaminophen (aka Paracetamol) and Codine as a phosphate. Some combinations contain up to 500-1000mg's of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol). Sudafed Contains Pseudoephedrine and Acetaminophen (Paracetamol). Therefore, because both Co-Codamol combinations and Sudafed combinations contain Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) they should not be taken together, as the potential for overdoes of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) is strongly increased. The potential for liver and renal damage is also strongly increased. ibuprofen can be taken with all three drugs - Amoxicillin, Co-Codamol and Sudafed, as none of these three drugs contain Ibuprofen as an ingredient. Ibuprofen should always be taken with care, as directed and taken with food to prevent ulcers of the stomach. It is also unlikely you will need to take Co-Codamol and Ibuprofen together, as Co-Codamol is a strong pain killer and taking it together with ibuprofen will be unlikely to have any benefit. You may consider taking Sudafed and Ibuprofen together if you have a Cold or the Flu as the Ibuprofen will assist in reducing any muscle pain, aches or inflammation, whilst the Sudafed works on all the other Cold and Flu symptoms. You should always consult your Doctor or Pharmacist before mixing multiple drugs, as you could potentially harm yourself.

Is ibuprofen the same as Motrin?

They are both NSAIDS and should not be taken together, but no; they are different medications. Motrin is Ibuprofen. Aleve is Naproxen Sodium. They are both anti-inflammatory medicines, with similar side effect profiles. They should not be taken together.


Is it safe to take ibuprofen today if naproxen was taken yesterday?

Yes, but as these are both NSAIDS they cannot be taken together. Maximum dosage for ibuprofen is 800mg. up to 3 times daily.
