It will be good for you and your doctor to have a talking relationship.
After you tell him/her about your thoughts, it will be interesting to see
what the doc says.

It is most often suggested that people ask their pharmacist, instead of a
doctor, about the meds they are taking.

i believe you are referring to the unmonitored, self-administration of
this combination - folk who go and stock up and scarf down quantities
never intended or approved of. there continues to be reported cases of
folk who ingest so much everyday that they go toxic - and indeed, die -
from excessively large amounts - many 1000's of mg a day

your dosage is very low.

which is a brand name for 500 mg ACETAMINOPHEN
"Acetaminophen is a synthetic, nonopiate, centrally acting analgesic
derived from p-aminophenol."
acetaminophen is not associated with a risk for gastrointestinal
bleeding
Most studies do not show any cross-reactivity with the use of
acetaminophen in aspirin-sensitive patients [or with other nsaids].

[Ibruprophen] is 'ibuprofen'
a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
"The most frequent type of adverse reaction occurring with ibuprofen
tablets is gastrointestinal."
Long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary
necrosis and other renal injury.

so, the combination would call for monitoring for hypertension, and
liver function, if you are going to be long term.

and in rare cases nsaids can cause serious skin adverse events such as
exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), and toxic
epidermal necrolysis (TEN), but it's RARE
