Acetaminophen (Tylenol) passes though the liver, while ibuprofen (Motrin) is passed through your kidneys. You can take your dosage (based on your weight ) for either medications at the same time safely.
As a PA in the pediatric ER we do tell parents that they can give their child BOTH Tylenol and Motrin to help fight a bad fever. We like to have them have some overlap time because then the fever is covered (Take Tylenol 1st and 2 hours later take Motrin). Most of the time we just suggest straight Motrin (more than Tylenol) because the overlap can be confusing and their is a higher risk of Tylenol overdose than with Motrin. Remember Asprin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is different than Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetaminphen) and should NOT be given to children because it can cause Reyes Syndrome.

∙ 14y agoyou can take maximum dosage of both drugs (according to age of patient) as stated on the packs. there are no drug interactions between ibuprofen and paracetamol so they are safe to take together. however, gastric pain can be a side effect so do not take these tablets on an empty stomach and try not to stay on this combination for a prolonged period of time.

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.
