Take Tylenol And Aleve
UpdatedCan I take 2 aleve and 2 Tylenol at the same time for pain. Is there any benefit to doing this? Are there any adverse reactions with taking both at the same time?

Hello, Steve! How are you?
That's not advisable, though you may get more benefit by alternating them every 8 hours, if your doctor approves.
However, for pain, the best to try first would probably be the Aleve, since it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that can help with both pain and swelling, while the Acetaminophen doesn't help much with swelling, which can easily worsen someone's pain.
The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding.
If you feel you need something stronger, then you should see your doctor as they can prescribe more effective medications that will help pain much more than these over the counter options.
Is there anything else I can help with?
