As a Combat Medic we mix these two quite often. They work very well together. Almost as well as Opioid pain killer especially in the field where performance may still be required. For initial dosing I usually do 2x2 then 1x1 there after as needed. This sometimes gets a bit high for normal dosing. But we are talking field emergency situations with generally healthy soldiers

Something not stressed here, and should be noted (these doctors know this but I think they sort of skipped over this): If a tablet is enteric-coated, such as basic Ibuprofen, DO NOT cut or crush these tablets. The special coating is there to protect your stomach. As always, if you’re not sure, ask your nurse, doctor, or pharmacist. -Fran RN (ret.)

The way it was explained to me was these 2 meds work in very different ways. Ibuprofen goes to the source of the pain, and tackles the inflammation that causes the pain, and acetaminophen works by telling your brain it doesn't hurt. ????? IDK if this is an oversimplified explanation, but it makes sense. The liver is affected by acetaminophen and the kidneys by the ibuprofen. ??????

For those who say Tylenol “doesn’t work”…my surgeon explained that in combination with ibuprofen, acetaminophen works in concert, from separate loci, for an optimal outcome in pain control. In my case I couldn’t tell you if they both worked but based on my pain level I’d say we need something much better to be developed. If not for the narcotics I’d have been truly suffering the first ten days home. Demand your meds people!

The biggest advantage of taking these two drug together, other than the different MOAs (mode of action), is that you can lower the dosage of each one. 200 mg of Tylenol is less damaging on the kidneys than the usual 400mg and 325 or 650mg of Tylenol is less harsh on the liver than a full gram (i.e. 2 x 500). This combo works really well for me - headaches. Taking 4 grams of Tylenol a day is an excellent recipe for those seeking a kidney transplant. I think the docs completely missed the fact that you can lower the dosage.

Back in the '90s I was in pain after a car accident where my car was rear ended by a truck. Prescription pain meds didn't do me any good so I was taking Motrin and sometimes Tylenol. Then I asked my pharmacist if I could safely take them together he said the same as these two doctors. I took them when I needed pain relief and they worked better than the prescription pain meds. I also made sure to take them with food.

That's really helpful. I've learned a lot about pain control (as opposed to pain relief) as a result of a broken wrist and a broken ankle 11 years later. I wasn't getting much help or advice from my GP and found a lot of this information about combining the two on the internet, but this video explains why what I found worked for me - worked. Super helpful to have my own research findings confirmed and more information about why. It wasn't the broken bones that caused me to grind my teeth with pain, it was the post-surgery recovery for about 10 days that was the problem. British GPs seem incredibly reluctant to prescribe opiods now which is excruciatingly frustrating post-operatively. I'm still struggling with my ankle sometimes, six months after surgery, but paracetemol works wonders when I've overdone it!

Okay, so the main reason you can take acetaminophen and ibuprofen together is because they work on two completely different receptors. The one thing you don't want to do is take two medicine that bind to the same receptors, because then typical dosing goes out of the window. There is a point to be had about liver metabolism, when you're mixing medication. You can check the insert for such issues, but it's better to ask your pharmacist when you are in any sort of doubt. That is not to say that both acetaminophen and ibuprofen aren't potentially dangerous when used for prolonged periods of time. Talk to your GP when you feel you need to rely on either - or both - for more than a week or so.

I wouldn't recommend taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen at the sametime. I made that mistake before and had a serious axe to skull headache for about 7 hours. I also felt very dizzy and loopy like I waa drunk. Maybe it just happened to me idk. I would suggest that you ask your personal doctor before doing so. I've taken both 4 hours apart with no problems. If you are taking a opioid combination with a opioid/ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and you want to either take a Tylenol with your opioid/ibuprofen combination vice versa! You should most definitely talk to your personal doctor 1st.

I'm sure it has been mentioned here but my MO has always been to have something/anything in your stomach before oral meds. Long issue with aseptic necrosis in hip joint at an early age and ibu, aspirin and acetominphyn (vitamins etc.) use over long term led to minor ulcers. Something in the stomach before has always served me well since then. My story and I'm sticking to it. YMMY.😁

BTW plenty of water. My doc has me drinking 100 oz per day. It can be a little bit of a struggle sometimes, but no biggie and I believe in it. I always did the old 8, 8 oz cups a day but he said not enough for a big guy like me. I keep a 20 oz bottle with me and drink 5 (refills) from 6A to about 7P. (I'm no environmentalist but there are too many empty bottles out there. I might use the same one for months. Just rinse it out once a day) Just makes sense that water is good for you. After all it is what we are made of for the most part! Thanks again.

Acute Rehab RN here- this combo is not unusual for our multiple trauma/fracture patients (of course those without renal or hepatic impairment). That combo gets ordered as a routine pain management modality, with prn opioids on board. And those patients usually get Lidocaine topical patches administered around the affected site (assuming the fracture is not in a cast, like an ORIF of the hip), and some kind of muscle rub cream (think of bengay) to apply as well. Good info for the average layperson!

I had a total hip replacement 4 weeks ago. I was on opioids in the hospital (overnight stay), and was prescribed 2 opioid meds upon discharge, along with several other meds. I did not take any of the Oxycodone, and only took the Tramadol for 2 days. Essentially, all I've taken for pain is 1000 mg of Acetaminophen 3 or 4 times a day. Yes, I still have the pain, though not as intense as the first week, but I have a rather high tolerance anyway, and I did not want to take the opioids. My Dr. did instruct me not to take NSAIDs while on the Acetaminophen, but since that is my pain reliever of choice, I may take your advice and intersperse some Ibuprofen with the Acetaminophen. Thanks!

I alternate Tylenol with Naproxen. But I alternate them by the hours..spacing them 4 to 6 hours apart. Tylenol for pain, and Naproxen for inflammation. But these two do not even mention the types of pills they are. Some are "TIME RELEASE" with little holes drilled in them so you get a small quantity at a time. These types should never be crushed under any circumstances.
