Do headache medicines contain caffeine?
Many over-the-counter and behind-the-counter analgesics formulated specifically for headache contain caffeine. In the USA, probably the best known of these is Excedrin. Also, composition tablets known as "Tylenol #1" and "Tylenol #2" in the USA, and as "Compound 222" in Canada, contain caffeine in addition to aspirin and small dosages of codeine. Caffeine arguably works for to relieve certain headaches: those associated with caffeine withdrawal. The efficacy of caffeine in other headache types is controversial.
Can you take excedrin during a heart attack?
I am wondering this also, I am not a physician so I wouldn't know what to recommend. Taking 2 excedrin is like taking: 1 500mg Aspirin 1 500mg Tylenol & 1 cup of coffee (caffeine) I know the Aspirin will help, I don't think the Tylenol will hurt, and it comes down to the caffeine. Would you caffeine help or hurt a heart attack? I know caffeine will cause the heart to beat faster. I guess a physician can let us know his opinion on the matter.

There is a 100mg (milligram) difference between Acetaminophen 600's and Acetaminophen (Tylenol) which is sold normally at 500mg. There is generally nothing different between the two pills except the 100mg Difference. Remember never to exceed 4000mg of Acetaminophen per 24 hours.

Yes. Tylenol ES (extra strength) is an OTC pain reliever/fever reducer. Hydrocodone is an opioid pain reliever available only by Rx. You'll notice that on your bottle it will say Hydrocone/APAP. APAP is the abbreviation for Tylenol (Acetaminophen) so don't take additional Tylenol if you're taking the Hydrocone, which can wreack havoc on your liver. Don't confuse OTC Tylenol with the #'s.

The maximum dose of acetaminophen for adults is 1000mg at a time, and 4000mg per day. Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen. That makes up to 13 Tylenol 3's during the day. But Tylenol 3 contains 30mg of codeine, and they do not recommend to take more than 240mg of codeine daily. That makes 8 Tylenol 3's all in all at maximum. If you need more acetaminophen, you may try to replace Tylenol 3 with Tylenol 2 or Tylenol 1 (15mg and 8mg of codeine respectively).But, of course, the less you use the better.
