Q: So, I took two advil migraine pills about 45 minutes ago, but forgot I took them. My headache is almost worse, so I just took a 5-500 hydrocodone-APAP. Am I going to overdose??

You shouldn't have any problems. A Drug Interactions checker on Drugs.com did not find any interactions between these two drugs (but check with your doctor). Because you took two different kinds of NSAIDS; advil (ibuprofen) and acetaminophen (APAP) you're not at a risk of overdose from either. Be sure to tell your doctor, though, about all the medications you are taking.
