You are not supposed to swallow them together or right after the other, that's right. But you can alternate them safely and take ibuprofen before the paracetamol starts wearing off (roughly four hours after the other).

Of course it's not ideal to take ibuprofen regularly for days on end. And don't exceed the maximum dose at any given time.

Personally paracetamol does nothing for me, so I rely on ibuprofen solely.

This isn't true. You can take them together. You should not take them together regularly though without a doctor's okay.
