Ibuprofen & Acetaminophen...can you take at the same time???!
Question: Yes. Though the two are both analgesics (pain relievers) and fever reducers, taking both enhances the effect of the other so it becomes more effective for pain. There are even medicines with both as active ingredient. But take them on a full stomach or it'll upset your tummy. Lower dosage is also recommended. And, don't do it often.

you dont need to, ibuprofen is a better pain reliever.
Yes. That is sometimes recommended for a stubborn fever. Always follow the directions on the bottle for the max dose.
Yeah, you can.
Don't take ibuprofen with either aspirin or aleve, though (although, you can take tylenol and aspirin together).
Yes indeed you can.
Just alternate the doses of each in two hour increments
if you take the Ibuprofen first, wait two hours then take the acetaminophen, then wait 2 hours and take the ibuprofen, etc etc as long as you need too.

No. If it's for swelling; you should take ibuprofen. If it's for pain; take acetaminophen.
