What is the difference between ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol), and can one be taken after the other as long as the minimum time between the two is respected?

Ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) are two different types of pain relievers that work in different ways. Taking them together within the recommended time frame should not cause any problems. It is always a good idea to check with your pharmacist to ensure that taking these medications is safe based on your current medication regimen or medical condition.
