This is incorrect. Normal paracetamol dosing is less than half the toxic dose of paracetamol, and it is an incredibly safe drug at these levels. Ibuprofen however has rare but well know side effects of gastric irritation, ulceration and life-threatening haemorrhage
Unfortunately, paracetamol is included in some multi-drug combinations, so it's relatively easy to overdose by accident.
