Painkillers

The name suggests just what they do -- kill pain. However, simple as the idea may be, there are still questions about what to use painkillers for, what types, and what happens when they're abused.

Can you take aspirin while taking adderall?

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

There is no documentation of interactions between aleve and Ritalin or aspirin and Ritalin. But there is a negative interaction if you take aspirin and aleve at the same time.

ASPIRIN may interact with NAPROXEN (in Aleve)

Naproxen is broken down by the liver and removed from the body in the urine. If this happens too quickly, then potentially less naproxen would be available for the body to use and blood levels could become too low. This could make naproxen less effective. Aspirin may cause naproxen to be broken down at a faster rate than normal. Based on information from a number of studies, this does not appear to have a significant impact on the therapeutic effect of naproxen. However, both of these drugs can cause stomach irritation and may potentially damage the lining of the stomach. The risk of experiencing these side effects may be increased when aspirin and naproxen are taken at the same time. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.

Why are you in severe pain after tooth extraction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Visit AlphaCare Inc. for Online Medical Consultation.

Severe pain after tooth extraction is a common experience, and it is usually a result of the trauma to the tissues and nerves during the procedure. Several factors contribute to post-extraction pain:

Tissue Trauma: The tooth extraction process involves removing not only the tooth but also surrounding tissues, including the gums and bone. This trauma can lead to inflammation and pain.

Nerve Irritation: Nerves in the surrounding tissues can be irritated or damaged during the extraction, contributing to pain. The extraction site may also expose nerve endings, leading to increased sensitivity.

Inflammation: The body's natural response to any injury is inflammation. Inflammation is a complex process that involves the release of chemicals that promote healing but can also cause pain and swelling.

Blood Clot Formation: After extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the exposed bone and nerves. Disruption of this clot, known as dry socket, can lead to severe pain.

Infection: Infections can occur if bacteria enter the extraction site. Infections can cause increased pain, swelling, and sometimes a bad taste or odor.

How can you detox your body from opiates without feeling pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's rare that people can get off synthetic or street opioids without any physical pain, and of course it depends on how much opioid use is involved. The reason for this is that physicians are reluctant to prescribe you with pharmaceutical opioids with which you can step down. What you'd be doing is weaning yourself off the opioids gradually, in order to minimize discomfort -- but that means spreading out what discomfort there is over time. Synthetics (Fentanyl, Suboxone, methadone, in that order) take longer. I would encourage you to think outside the box and look at Ibogaine.

Ibogaine is a plant-based medicine that takes away withdrawal and resets the dopamine receptors that get damaged from chronic opioid use; proper treatment with Ibogaine can be found in Mexico, not in the US, most of western Europe, or Canada.

A proper Ibogaine clinic would do one of two things: either coach you through transitioning onto a short-acting (real) opioid, such as morphine, Oxycontin, or percoset prior to coming for Ibogaine treatment; or facilitate the detox on site, which would run into weeks of residency and more money spent on medications and nursing services if they're synthetics. It can be done, but the goal is to get the toxins out of your system in order for the Ibogaine to work.

NewPathIbogaine.com would be the best Ibogaine clinic for you, whether they detox you, or you detox yourself.

Can you get sick taking old pain meds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how old the medicine is, and what the medicine is. Most medicines are still safe to be taken if they are only just slightly past their use-by date. Use-by dates are fairly conservative and the stability of the actual medication is often far superior to the date printed on the label. However, there are a few medicines that you should not take if they are past their date of expiry. Taking old medicines should not be a routine practice. Do not hesitate to speak to your local pharmacist if you have concerns about old medicines. They will be able to tell you.

What produces oxytocin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

oxytocin: a pituitary octapeptide hormone C43H66N12O12S2 that stimulates especially the contraction of uterine muscle and the secretion of milk.

Oxytocin ( /ˌɒksɨˈtoʊsɪn/) is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin has the distinction of being the very first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized biochemically, by Vincent du Vigneaud et al. in 1953.[1]

Oxytocin is best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts 1) after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, and 2) after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors.[2] For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone".[3]

The word oxytocin is a corruption of the Greek ὼκυτοκίνη, ōkytokínē, "quick labor".

What painkillers are available for cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Carl55

None of the human pain medications - these are extremely toxic to cats and a single dose can be enough to kill. These medications include Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Paracetamol, Motrin, acetominophen, ibuprofen, aspirin and all other common human pain relievers.

If you feel your cat would benefit from pain medication, you need to see your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for cats, but they are only available from your veterinarian.

Can you use acetaminophen tablets for cats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you cannot give Tylenol to cats for pain because it can cause a fatal reaction (Heinz body anemia). Even a single pill is far too much and could kill your cat.

This is why you should never give people medication to pets - they are not small humans and what would be safe for you may be lethal to them.

Can you drink beer with Ibuprofen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the medication, if there is a warning on the medication that you should not drink alchohol while taking that medication, then the answer is a big fat no.

If there is no such warning, it should be okay, though you should always ask a health profesional about potential drug interactions before taking medication.

yep. co- codamol, but it is combined with paracetamol, which is called acetaminophen in the U.S. It's like 8mg codeine with 500 mg acetaminophen.

You can also purchase Panadol Ultra, with 500mg paracetamol and 12.8mg codeine and Rokacet Plus, with 500mg paracetamol, 15mg codeine, and 50mg caffeine (similar to Tylenol #2) without a prescription in The Bahamas, but ONLY at a pharmacy.

Can you mix vicodin and a rockstar energy drink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes and you won't die. So don't listen to anyone else except me because I have experience with Vicodin ES750. If you crush Vicodin and have vodka you will trip. Vodka or any other alcohol over 80 proof will make your extremely high and you will hallucinate. You only get liver damage from the drug if you take large amounts of it for a long period of time. Ex: 12000mgs a day 5 days a week for a month. I have taken 4 or 5 at a time with no problems. 750 x 4 = 3000mg and i am very healthy and has no liver damage. There are other ways to get high without taking a Vicodin and alcohol.

Can you take Tylenol after you take apple cider vinegar tonic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Funny, I just taked with my doctor about this. I'm going in for surgery, and she said that detoxing the liver is OK when you're taking tylenol. She mentioned that the only risks with Tylenol (acetaminophen, to be exact) is liver DAMAGE. Apple cider vinegar help the liver, so it more or less balances it out.

Hope that helps!

Can you take dairy products while taking Vicodin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are no special warnings about Vicodin (hydrocodone) and dairy products. You SHOULD AVOID alcohol, sleeping pills and other NARCOTICS unless prescribed by your Doctor. Also avoid anti-anxiety meds like Valium, etc. unless directed. Some anti-biotics should not be taken with dairy products: tetracycline, minocycline, and doxycycline and Cipro/ciprofloxacin, Levaquin/levofloxacin, Avelox/moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin. Some of those kinda sound like Vicodin. Sorta, kinda.
