Can you take the daily limit of paracetamol, aspirin and ibruprofin independant of each other?

Question

e.g.. every 4 hours as per instructions I take

2x aspirin (pure)

2 x Paracetomol (pure)

2X ibruprofin. (pure)

Are these pain killers independant of each other?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Paracetamol maximum is 8 daily - no more else you will damage your liver

Aspirin and Ibuprofen are both non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs (Nsaids) these work in the same way but different to paracetamol.  Taking these in high quantities and for long term may cause damage to your stomach and cause ulcers.

You should not take these together as they are the same thing.

Have you seen a medical professional about your pain it sounds like you may need something stronger or at least something to protect your stomach from the Nsaids.

Answer 3

yes but you will have gut rot!

Answer 4

Stop doing the aspirin, that won't mix, but the ibuprofen and paracetamol are fine. If you take a dose of paracetamol and then take the ibuprofen 2 hours later, you will maintain the pain killing effects better (and won't be wishing for the 4 hours to be over so you can take more), and also you will be putting less stress on your liver.

Do not keep this up for a long time, and if your pain is really bad or long term see a doctor who can give you better and more suitable painkillers, and mayber help to sort out the source of whatever problem you have.

Answer 5

u shouldnt take aspirin and ibuprofen as they are similar u can take asprin and paracetamol or ibuprofen and paracetamol.  paracetamol u can take 2 every 4 hours max 4 doses in 24 hours and ibuprofen 2 every 6 hrs max 3 doses in 24 hrs.  if u need to take these more than three days u should consult yr doctor

Answer 6

No don't take Asprin and Paracetomol togeather!!!!!!!

You can take paracetamol and then ibruprofen 2 hours later and then paracetamol 2 hours after that then ibruprofen 2 hours after that etc. !!!!

But don't do this for long because it will really damage your internal organs.

Answer 7

Paracetamol and ibruprofen are fine together. I had these when my arm was broken (and I checked this with my doctor and with my local chemist). I did 2 ibruprofen then two hours later 2 paracetamols.  I did 6 ibruprofen and 6 paracetamol a day.

I don't know about aspirin on top.

If you're in this much pain you should see your doctor.

Answer 8

idk, my bff jill

Answer 9

do not fill your body with all those medicine at once it is not healthy they all have blood thining properties and this would not be save. Choose one pain killer and take it as instructed.

Answer 10

Not sure about the aspirin and ibuprofen together - you can certainly do ibuprofen and paracetamol

Answer 11

No they aren't.  Why are you taking so much?  If you need that much pain medicine you should go to a doctor and get a prescription so you can get something stronger.

You are probably doing damage to your liver.
