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.
