I’ve got no idea what the alleged evidence for this is, but what I do know is that the people making these announcements are completely untrustworthy.
A combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a crazy effective painkiller. It’s been found to be even more effective than some opioids. Watch your dosage, know what you’re taking, and it’s perfectly safe.
If you do that, be sure to space them out, alternating, with at least a couple of hours between. Having done it on doctor’s advice, I’ve noticed the Tylenol is barely enough to keep me hanging on as the previous Advil wears off and until I can take the next one. I’m not 💯% sure it was helping at all, but at least I could say to myself, “surely it will be kicking in any moment now…” until I got through to where I could start saying “Only half an hour more until you can take the good stuff.”
I think people have idiosyncratic responses to pain meds. I don’t respond to Aleve either. Aspirin is mildly helpful. But a single Motrin was all I needed the day after a C-section.
Huge risk of liver toxicity. Mix two drugs then drink like an average American and the liver has no chance.
People take 2x doses of ibuprofen to recover from hangover.
Then don’t drink. Why would you mix poison with medicine and think that’s an ok thing to do? No shit that’s bad for you.
If you are taking any kind of medicine, don’t drink. If people are too stupid to realize that, then they are deserving of the Darwin Award.
Also, don’t eat grapefruit when taking medicine. That one is more forgivable because it’s not obvious it’s a problem.
