No, it's always good to buy only one type of analgesics that is not prescribed by your doctor Yes it is fine to take paracetamol and ibuprofen together as long as you remember that ibuprofen should be taken every 6 hours! its one of the strongest painkillers you can get without prescription, and often the 1st course of treatment a doctor would suggest anyway

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.
Can you take Ibuprofen and paracetamol together?
Paracetamol should always be the first choice as it has fewer side effects than ibuprofen. It is therefore better to take paracetamol first and then use ibuprofen 2-3 hours later - but only if the paracetamol has not worked in controlling your symptoms. The chemist says - it is best to avoid taking several different pain medicines all at once because of stomach upset, nausea, and the possibility that you might not need all that medicine! You need to separate different types of pain medication. In this case, you can use the "Three Hour Switch" that doctors explain to all parents. Take one medicine, then after three hours, switch and take the next one. Three hours after that, switch back to the first one. Keep switching back and forth until you feel better. You should reconsider the need to take both paracetamol and ibuprofen on a daily basis because it's best to avoid taking unnecessary medicines. Avoid taking ibuprofen and aspirin together. They can cause serious stomach upset which can lead to indigestion, gastritis and ulcers.

When taking Tylenol and ibuprofen together should you lower the dosage of each?
Most Doctors would try to avoid having you taking both as together they can thin your blood. However, should you need to take both, as Ibuprofen (Naproxen) is an NSAID and reduces inflammation, you should take only 1000mg's of Tylenol (2 - 500mg tablets) and 2 Ibuprofen (2 - 500mg Ibuprofen) every 6-8 hours as needed for pain & inflammation.
Can you take codeine and paracetamol together?
Yes. Paracetamol and codeine are a very good combination for pain killing. The recommended safe dosage is 1 to 2 paracetamol (500mg tablets) + 1 to 2 codeine (30mg tablets) every four hours. If ibuprofen is taken in combination, it may cause nausea, so it is best to be avoided.
Can you take co-codomol and amlodipine together?

Can you take paracetamol and celebrex together?
Yes, you can take these two medications together. If additional pain relief is needed while on celebrex, acetaminophen is the best over the counter option because it is in a different class of medication. Celebrex is a potent NSAID, and you would not want to mix it with other NSAIDS such as ibuprofen.
Can you take cocodromol and Ibuprofen?
I have been advised several times that both these drugs can be taken to help relieve pain. The thing to remember is not to take 2 like for like drugs because then you overdose. These drugs should be taken intermittently and not together.
Can you mix phenylephrine and Ibuprofen together?
Yes, guaifenesin and phenylephrine was a combination drug called Entex LA. Ibuprofen and phenylephrine are in the new drug Advil sinus congestion. So taking the 3 ingredients togetherr are fine at normal dosage strengths
Can you take Tylenol and Midol together?
Yes, but only if the Midol product that you've chosen does not have ibuprofen in it. There are several formulations of Midol, and I know at least one of them has it in it! Read the back of the packaging...if it says ibuprofen, don't take extra ibuprofen with it. If it says acetaminophen (as well as other ingredients that are NOT ibuprofen), you can go ahead and take it with ibuprofen.
