Calpol and ibuprofen

[Ringovandingo]

I can't remember please can someone jog my memory?

You can give them two hours apart can't you but only 4 x each in 24 hours?

Calpol up to 4x in 24 hours.

Some ibuprofens are 3x in 24 hours at least 6 hours apart.

Thank you just checked her prescription and it is 3x times a day

But I can give it 2 hours after calpol?

I've never had to give the two together before

They work differently so can be given together. Calpol 4xday, ibuprofen 3xday. Stagger doses to spread the effect.

Thank you

You can give at the same time - its totally safe. The 2hrs apart thing is just to try and maximise pain relief (as one wears off the other will be at peak effectiveness), so good to do but not essential.

Yea four hours apart but calpol and nurofen can actually be give together with 20min gap , then every 4 hours

My DD always gets a bad runny tummy with the Ibuprofen so I try not to use it much, but yes they can be used together.

How old is dc? Have you been advised to give both?
