Taking ibuprofen and paracetamol together

[WigWamBam]

I know I can take both, but should I leave a certain amount of time between taking one and then the other, or can I take both at the same time? I have a raging toothache that ibuprofen isn't touching on its own, and I want to take a dose of paracetamol as well, but I only took my last lot of ibuprofen twenty minutes ago.

Please tell me I can ...

Yes you can! I was told could take 3 paracetamol + 2 nurofen , 4 times a day,when suffering.

Hope you get better

I normally take them 2 hours apart but that's only so that you get a boost every 2 hrs instead of every 4 iyswim!

no reason not to take them at the same time afaik!

Oh, thank you! I haven't had any of the paracetamol at all today so still have some in hand for tonight, so to speak.

(runs off to grab paracetamol!)

I dont know if you can but I do and I'm still here
Had an extraction filling and clean all in one recently so I have felt your pain. of course being a bloke meant it was ten time worse

Hmmmmm ... thanks for that, Carlk

Dh had an infection a couple of months ago ... man-toothache is something else.

You definitely can! I took medical advice after being diagnosed with meralgia parasthetica.Agony!
Take a 400mg of ibuprofen and two paracetemol together. Then space the rest of the day, 4 hrs paracetemol and 6 hrs between ibuprofen. No side effects, can still look after baby!

I take both together and its the only thing that clears my migraines at the moment.
