Are aspirin and acetaminophen the same thing
because aspirin inhibits platelet aggregation...afetr extraction aspirin can cause prolonged bleeding leading to complications like shock etc
Yes you can. If you are going to have a General Anaesthetic for Surgery, make sure you take it with just a little water a few hours before the surgery. Remember you have to stay fasting at least 4 - 5 hours before the anaesthetic.
It's acceptable, but still isn't a solution. If you have heart attack symptoms you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. The pill you should take one of if you feel you are having a heart attack is an aspirin, (not Tylenol, not Ibuprofen), and you still need to get to a doctor immediately.
No. Alkaseltzer contains aspirin which we generally do not give to children for fear of Reye Syndrome ( a severe neurologic syndrome that happenes when you give kids with certain viral infections aspirin). If the child is having headaches a better choice would be Tylenol or Motrin. If the child is having upset stomach a better choice would be Maalox.
Aspirin has been a standard pain killer that was introduced patent free from the German company Bayer. Over the past 15 years or so, it has been recommended for daily use in certain cases of people having heart problems. This is because aspirin is a blood thinner.
You'd better see a vet. Some causes would not be problems that an aspirin could help with, such as a stroke. If you suddenly couldn't walk, you'd want more than aspirin.
If you are referring to the pain caused by your teeth moving, then you can use anbesol, which numbs mucous membranes. It is relatively easy to find.
Take Tylenol or Advil. If you want to fall asleep too take Tylenol PM.
This is the same as asking what is the difference between $325 and $3.25; there is a HUGE difference. However, a small number doesn't always mean much. Tylenol and aspirin are 325mg per tablet. A patient who is having a heart attack would receive 2-4 mg of morphine. 325mg of morphine would be deadly and 3.25mg of tylenol wouldn't even be helpful if you were the size of a cat.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) can cause liver damage and death in dogs. Aspirin can cause life-threatening gastric ulcers in dogs. Ibuprofen has a very high incidence of causing gastric ulcers in dogs and can also cause death. If your pet is in pain you MUST call a vet for advice.
I dont know but it may damage your liver. Thats 3 times the maximum dose of Extra stength Tylenol. One caplet is 500mg. If you are having to take that much for your pain relief you need to see a doctor to find an alternative or see if something more serious is going on.
Acetominophen (Tylenol) is usually the recommended pain/fever reliever in pregnant women. Esp. in the third trimester, taking aspirin can cause problems with blood clotting, and women can "bleed out" during childbirth. Pregnant women often take acetylsalicylic acid, for example to relieve headache. This sometimes happens before the pregnancy has even been detected. There is no cause for concern in either of these cases. Clinical studies have shown that when used correctly (i.e. on occasion and at the standard, prescription-free dose), acetylsalicylic acid is safe for both mother and child. In the last trimester of pregnancy however, acetylsalicylic acid should not be taken by pregnant women due to the risk of a contraction-inhibiting effect.
