Why this happens
Paracetamol and ibuprofen belong to different classes of painkillers. Paracetamol works mainly in the central nervous system to block pain signals, while ibuprofen (an NSAID) reduces inflammation and pain at the site of the injury. Because they work through different pathways, they do not interfere with how the body absorbs or processes each other.
What you should do
You can take these medicines at the same time or stagger them. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging for each product. Ensure you do not take more than the maximum daily dose for either medicine. If you are using a 'combination' product that already contains both, do not take extra paracetamol or ibuprofen on top of it.

Can I take Amlopadine and Amytriptaline together?
Taking amlodipine and amitriptyline together can cause your blood pressure to drop lower than intended. This may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when standing up quickly from a sitting or lying position. There is also a small risk that both medications could affect your heart rhythm.
