can u take paracetamol and ibuprofen together?

Answer 1

definately.... they work better together.
No more than 8 x 500mgs of paracetamol per 24 hours though
and no more than 3 x 400mgs of ibuprofen.

Answer 2

Yes you can as long as you don't exceed the maximum dosage in 24 hours 8 paracetamol and if not prescribed no more than 4 x 200 mg of Ibuprofen. I take 8 co-codamol and 1200mg of Ibuprofen they are prescribed.

Answer 3

Learn how to get rid of the cause of the pain
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with the principles below
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

yes but not at the same time. If you take paracetamol at 3pm you can take ibuprofen at 5pm they should always be taken 2 hours apart.

Answer 5

Answer 9
