acetaminophen is from a very different drug class than ibuprofen and should be safe at normal doses. BTW, my brother lives in Prospect Heights.
HTFU? Why not!

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I think my kidneys thank Trent. I really avoid overdoing it on the "vitamin I," and only a single 200mg pill at a time.

Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
+1. Went from 800mg 2x a day, every day (years of wrist tendonitis) to nothing except 200mg when TOM renders me in the fetal position (and I sure as heck don't run those days). MTA: My ortho suggested I could use IB to combat the pain of my broken knuckle, but I have not caved. Training is more important than comfort. Thanks, Trent.
Jazz hands!
Bringing this question up again--how long after taking Ibu. is it okay to run?
6-24 hours after a long run or a hot run.
What about the other way around--Vitamin I in the morning, running in the evening? I woke up with an awful headache this morning and am trying to figure out if I'm OK to run 11 at 6pm.
Experts say 24 hours before a run. Unless you are on a prescription being monitored by your doctor. If you are well hydrated and it is cool out, you may be okay.
