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.)

I've asked my doctor about this and he said it's fine and says that it's basically attacking the pain at two different angles. Whenever my DDD flares up to a pain level 4, I'd take a pill each and it works better than two of the same for me.

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!

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. ??????

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!

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!

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!

Very welcome Jim. So glad you are doing so well. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

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.

I think the bigger point being missed is that your poor organs have to deal with this crap by processing it. Less is more . Use foam rollers, stretch, epsom salts , walk and eat well.

Taking Tylenol every day also helps with that pesky empathy.

My dentist told me this 20 yrs ago! Take one each at the same time

I don't remember searching for these but I did have a conversion with my mom if I could take Tylenol and Advil together. Very strange that this video was in my recommendations!

Sometimes I take both. Mostly I avoid ibuprofen because my body adjusts to it so fast. Within a week it no longer works and I get extra pain as my body readjusts after discontinuing it. I save it for really bad days and then use a minimal dose. I lean on tylenol heavy. Pressure belts don't help in the long run. Osteopath said surgery was not a good option. Saw a specialist who mostly said exercise and stretch... yoga. Old enough that the final pain killer will come along soon enough.

I've never been one to take medications, only when I really needed to. Now that I have RA, which affects a lot of things, especially my knees, ankles, and hips. I was at a point where I just couldn't move. Everything hurt. I'm on Rinvoq, which has definitely calmed down the swelling in my joints. I take tylenol or Aleve. Usually only one or two in the morning to get me going. If I can get away without it, I don't take them. But that's just me.

Unfortunately some chronic conditions do require narcotics. Pain management is very important!🥰

Thanks to people abuse and sell drugs, I get to suffer. I have arthritis in the base of my spine, hands and fingers. I have 2 torn rotator cuffs, one that was operated on and tore again. Also my knees are bone on bone. I have been forced to go on a lower dose of Vicodan. One per day max. I used to have a few a day as needed. Every night I wonder why I am still alive. How can I deal with this body that is wracked with pain. I beg God to take me most nights. I would not care.... it is not living when you have pain like this.

@@suzannezethner8180 Oh, Suzanne, I'm so sorry you're going through this unfair treatment on top of your excruciating pain! It's so unfair. Please ask your insurance to get a second opinion appointment with a different pain management company. Tell them how much pain you are in and fight for pain management. You deserve more than one breakthrough pain medication per day! I hope you fight for it. I hope one day soon your pain is managed and you go to bed sleepy and looking forward to all the things you can do the following day bc you're not in so much pain.❤️ You deserve this fight! I have had to fight for medical treatment and it is unfair and traumatic but I am so glad that I did. You got this, Suzanne!!!!🥰💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

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'm allergic to aspirin and its derivatives which limits what I'm allowed to take. Also, I have no gall bladder since it was removed having stones impacting it. I do not digest grease or fats or fatty foods without experiencing gall bladder dumping syndrome. That makes my digestive area a mess too say the least. Now for a kicker into this mess, my primary care physician prescribed 55000 IU of Vitamin D3. I developed bloating, across the chest and under the arms, swelling everywhere below the waist, a metallic taste in my throat and a general feeling like I really didn't want to do anything which to my way of thinking isn't good. Now, I've developed hyperthyroidism on the r/h side of my throat. A quick note the left tonsil was removed totally with malignant cancer in it and the frozen and normal biopsies came back with clear margins. I have a sneaking hunch that the medication he has me on in addition to the D3 which he finally came down to a 2000 IU capsule and the Crestor 10mg, Mybetriq 25 mg, Lisinopril 5 mg, and the Omeprazole 40 mg has created the thyroid problem in addition to the Vit D3 being low. Is there any chance that these drugs have created the problems that I seem to have gotten?
