According to Drugs.com, Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil) are both over-the-counter (OTC) medications used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation, and they can be used together, but it is important to follow the recommended dosages to avoid potential side effects [1].
The recommended dosage for Tylenol is usually 325-650 mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 3,000 mg in 24 hours for adults [1]. For Advil, the recommended dosage is 200-400 mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 1,200 mg in 24 hours for adults [1].
It is important to note that both medications have the potential to cause liver damage if taken in excessive amounts [1]. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid taking more than the recommended dosage of either medication and to avoid taking them for extended periods without consulting a healthcare professional.
Additionally, DrugPatentWatch.com states that both Tylenol and Advil have been available as OTC medications for several decades, and they are among the most widely used medications in the United States [2]. However, it is important to use them responsibly and follow the recommended dosages to avoid potential health risks.
In summary, Tylenol and Advil can be taken together, but it is important to follow the recommended dosages to avoid potential side effects. It is also important to avoid taking them for extended periods without consulting a healthcare professional.
