It won't hurt you unless you do it regularly.  Do eat something and drink some extra water if you're going to do this as the advil will give you tummy problems.  To avoid this, I take two advil wait two hours and then take two tylenol.  It really works wonders on my headaches and I don't have to worry so much about an upset stomach.

Call your doctor or a pharmacist. It could be dangerous please don't drink after taking that medicine untill you know for sure.

Both Advil and Tylenol are about the same.  Some say Tylenol would eat away at your liver!  Too much of ANYTHING will be bad.  As long as you maintain a sense of moderation... you will be fine.  So if you suffer from a headache right now, whatever you have in your medicine cabinet would probably be best!

Absolutely. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are very dangerous. Ibuprofen, in fact, can increase your risk of heart attack (http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=635702005), or more commonly, cause internal bleeding.  The best thing you can do is to figure out what's causing the pain, and then eliminate the cause.

Take 2 anti histamines

If you are taking it every day, you should stick to one.  Be careful with more as aspirin causes the blood to thin and that can be dangerous if you get cut or injured.  Also, too many over time will upset your stomach.

Yes, you should be able to take tylenol - it is not an NSAID, so it won't make you bleed easily like the NSAIDs do.

I think it depends on what you are taking. Talk to your doctor.

I think you can take them all at once, it should not matter.  Try it and if it upsets your stomach spread them out. May try eating something before taking them first.

Makes no sense to take 2 short acting narcotics together.  Take one of them and wait 4-6 hours and then take the other one and see which one controlled your pain better.  Then stick with the one that works better and follow the doctor's instruction.  If neither of them work well talk to your doctor.  Do not take more that 8 of either or in combination because Tylenol overdose is also possible.  Also make  sure your doctor knows exactly what you are taking including over the counter stuff.

Please get yourself to your doctor.  In the interim, ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.

Well I would wonder how many over the amount you take? Some is alright. I think the ones I take say 8 per day, my doctor says 2 per hour, all day if needed. The first two answers make no sense to me. The only way you would throw up is by having toooooooo many(like a full bottle or more) as for the other well, gee whiz any food or supplement will do that.... Talk with your doctor if you find you need more than the bottle directs, as it could be something else that needs attention. Good Luck

8 in 24 hours.\n\nWhich means that you should take no more than 2 every 6 hours.\n\nIf there is a lot of pain, doctors recomend you take an alternative pain killer along with it. Normaly ibuprofen is also prescribed. \n\nSo what you do is take the Solpadol, then after 3 hours take the Ibuprofen, and then 3 hours after that take Solpadol again...that should cover it.\n\nHOWEVER.\n\nIf you suffer from stomach problems then DO NOT take ibuprofen because it will make it worst. \nNO ALCOHOL either

Advil *is* ibuprofen, so it would be taking 6 ibuprofen total. Aleve is naproxen, which is also an anti-inflammatory. They are both hard on the stomach and GI tract, as is aspirin. Alcohol can make this worse.\n\nTylenol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory, and should not hurt your stomach. High doses, however, are toxic to your liver. Alcohol can make this *much* worse.
