How long after taking Aleve can you take Tylenol?

Answer 1

Advil and Aleve are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. You don't want to take them together. If you took Advil, you need to wait at least 6 hours before you can take Aleve. If you took Aleve first, you will need to wait at least 10 hours.

Answer 2

As you may know, Tylenol or Acetaminophen (APAP), can cause liver toxicities at certain doses. In people who do not drink, the limit is 4,000 mg of APAP a day, and for drinkers (more than 2 drinks a day) is limited to 2,000 mg a day. Therefore, it is extremely important not to exceed these limits in a 24 hour period.

Midol usually contains 500mg of APAP per dose. The usual recommended dose of APAP is 325mg - 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. I would wait 4 to 6 hours before taking any APAP products after talking Midol. The major concern is not to go above the limits within a 24 hour period, as I explained earlier. If you need any additional pain control, talk with your physician. It is important to determine the reasons for the use of APAP. This could include adjusting your dose of Birth Control (if taking) or other triggers for use of a pain medication.
