    As long as no more than 3 doses nurofen and 4 doses of panadol in any 24 hour period, you're all good. So if you're dosing over night, don't forget to add those in.

    Yep, what the other girls have said!

    Such a lifesaver overnight when they're so sick.

    Hey Olive. Yes it is fine. but you will get a much better, stronger, and longer lasting effect giving the two together. They are safe to have at the same time providing you don't exceed the maximum dose in the 24hr period.

    Alternating the two medications actually cuts short the effect of the one given at the earlier time.

    Hope your wee one is better soon.

    Yes it's fine, my Dr said they can be allternated as long as the doseages aren't exceeded.

    They can be given either at the same time or spaced
    Out, so we were told recently when DD was in hospital with a shocking dose of tonsillitis...
    They actually said to give them at the same time for the best affect for DD
