The combo of acetaminophen and ibuprofen is pretty much the strongest pain relief combo I can get over the counter. But I like to have the individual components instead of the "premixed" medications so that I can adjust the dosing as needed. (It's also much cheaper if you buy generics of the classic meds.) Just make sure you look up doses and understand the info, or talk to a pharmacist first.

After the events of the past several years, has nobody learned to back up their claims with links to sources yet?

Tylenol is not an NSAID. Mixing Tylenol and NSAIDs is both safe and highly effective.

Don't take NSAIDS (Ibu/Aleve) if you have any stomach issues. Go easy on them regardless.

Acetaminophen is fine as long as you watch dosing and don't double dip. ie folks take tylenol by itself in combo with some cough/pain meds that already have it in there.

Still outrageously expensive for 250mg Ibuprofen and 500mg Acetaminophen. You can buy both these ingredients at the DollarTree.
Definitely check the expiration dates when you buy medication at the Dollar tree. However if you can buy 144 capsules of both 250mg ibuprofen and 500mg acetaminophen for less than this you should do so. Since I have 5+ subscribe and saves my total is $7.98, I can't touch 144 capsules of either dosage for $4 let alone both for <$8 at the local Walmart for example 130 200mg Advils are $9 by themselves....

Quote from kyu1001 :
It's usually unnecessary to use dual NSAIDs. If ibuprofen is ineffective, it's better to seek medical advice instead of adding another NSAID. Additionally, acetaminophen is a safer option for "above the neck" pain and fever, as it works centrally and has no peripheral effects (anti-inflammatory). Acetaminophen is actually recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for use in children, unlike aspirin which should be avoided in kids.
Tylenol is not an NSAID. Mixing Tylenol and NSAIDs is both safe and highly effective.

No one trusts any sources these days. All that matters is gut instinct and the holy spirit. The shadow government controls all the source of information.

Except Alex Jones and Infowars. He knows the truth. I know a guy, who is cousins with a girl whose ex-boyfriend's roommate once met Alex and said he's a fine upstanding christian, so I believe every word he says. That's why I'll only use 2G phones.

Just reduced empathy. It's also very poorly understood and minor, and temporary. Pretty benign in terms of medication side effects.

Yeah, anytime someone says "blah blah blah .... look it up", the general internet that has an IQ north of their age responds with a mental "nope, they're full of sh..." and moves on, rightfully so.

Yes. For pain there is little differance between 200 and 800 mg.

For inflamation reduction 800 mg is needed.
Close. Pain response is negligible after 400mg. There is some data that maybe 600mg has some increased efficacy. There is no place for 800mg ibuprofens in modern medicine, it has 0 benefit over 400 to 600 and is very nephrotoxic.

The dual action is time release coated for maximum effectiveness, so it's not like it's a gimmick.

If you're buying generics, at least try to match coatings. Mixing a rapid release gel with a time release capsule isn't as effective, for instance.

There are prescription option NSAIDs if you have stomach issues/gastritis/ulcer history. Namely celebrex and Meloxicam. They are COX2 selective, which means they spare the stomach lining/GI tract. Issue is they also spare platelets, so no "thinning" effect of the blood to offsets the decrease in heart perfusion, so they are not great in people with heart disease. But all in all, they are very safe, and vastly under utilized by doctors who forget they exist.

This is not a time release product.
