Can I take ibuprofen and paracetamol together?

For stronger pain relief, can these two be combined?

  Yes — for most adults it's safe to take them together or alternate them, as they work differently. Follow the dose on each pack and don't exceed it.

  I alternate every 2 hours when I have a bad migraine and it works well.
