There is a HUGE risk from taking expired Tylenol / acetaminophen! Never, never take it - it can be toxic to your liver. Always call and speak with your pharmacist before deciding to use expired meds. Those expiration dates are there for a reason.

Can endocet and ibuprofen be taken together?

Yes. Endocet does contain acetominophen, however, so I wouldn't take any additional Tylenol or any pain reliever that contains acetaminophen, unless you have no liver problems and are monitoring how much Tylenol you are getting in a day. For an adult with no liver problems, the maximum is 4g. So if your endocet tablets contain 500mg each for example, and you are taking 8 a day, then don't take anymore Tylenol. If you are only taking 4 a day, then you could potentially take up to 4 Tylenol a day. Ibuprofen is fine to take with both.


What are the effects of mixing Tylenol with morphine?

It is not dangerous to take Tylenol and Morphine together because only one of them are narcotic pain relievers. This is why it is safe. Use care when taking Morphine as it depresses the respiratory system (breathing). Be careful with Tylenol too, as it can cause severe liver damage or even liver failure. Dr. Jacob M. Deese, MD

Can you take Lexapro and tyrosine together?

Lexapro is generally safe to take with Tylenol (acetaminophen) but is not recommended to be taken with Advil (ibuprofen) or any NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) becausecombination of both may increase the risk of bleeding due to synergistic effects, NSAID antiplatelet effects augmented by inhibition of platelet serotonin uptake. The combination increases risk of upper GI bleeding. In short, don't take NSAID's with Lexapro because they can cause stomach bleeding. Tylenol is safe.
