Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can increase the effect of Coumadin, so it should be discussed with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. There a many, many drugs that should not be taken with Coumadin, including many herbal medicines/supplements, such as garlic, ginko biloba, chamomile and ginseng. You need to tell your doctor and your pharmacist every med you are taking, including all OTC (over the counter) meds and herbal supplements.

Will acetaminophen-codeine help a cough and cold for a child?
Adult formulations have more Tylenol(acetaminophen) in them than childrens' codeine/APAP syrups and could be lethal to a child. It is not worth the risk. Codeine is a cough suppressant, but, again, it is dangerous to give children adult medications. It is illegal to give anyone prescription medication if it is not prescribed for that person. For colds, nutritional support and increased fluids are helpful and for coughing, there are OTC cough medications or "steaming in the shower/bathroom" alternatives...until you can get pediatric medication.

Can you take coumadin and Adderall together?
Yes, acetaminophen in LOWER doses can be used for a short time while taking coumadin. When you exceed 1300 mg a day, this modifies the INR and the action of coumadin.. However if you take acetaminophen every day at the same dosage (e.g. 2 Tylenol 500 mg 4 times a day) and did when the Coumadin was prescribed, then your Coumadin dosage has already been adjusted for this interaction (as long as you reported it to your doctor), and there is no problem in taking acetaminophen in this way. However, if you stop your acetaminophen daily use, you need to advise your doctor and take a blood test for INR 6-7 days later.
How do you deal with Panadol abuse?
Stop taking/giving it if not necessary. It's just an over the counter analgesic. Not addictive. Panadol is a brand name of acetaminophen (Tylenol). Abuse would be taking more than 4000mg. in a 24hr. period. 4000mg. in 24hrs. is the absolute MAXIMUM> The thing to keep in mind is that your liver will "take a beating" and if you drink alcohol you could be in danger of liver faliure. Some guy took Tylenol, then had two martinis, and suffered liver failure. Be good to your liver, the waiting list for a new one is..........a LONG time. BGTYL (be good to your liver). Panadol is non-narcotic so abuse may just be a habit of taking too much I am surprised by the previous two answers. There are formulations of Panadol that contain codeine, and in some countries, may be available without prescription (requiring, however, consultation with the druggist). Abuse is generally associated with the codeine containing versions of Panadol, because codeine can produce psychological or physical dependency, even in the small doses available in the OTC compositions of Panadol. Panadol/codeine abuse is dealt with by tapering down the dose taken each day, until stopped. A 21-day taper is typical in the USA, and probably enough for a codeine habit, which is a moderate dependency. There are many internet sources for information on opioid tapering strategies. The main health concern with Panadol abuse (or in general, codeine/acetaminophen, including Tylenol 1, 2, 3, and 4, Compound 222, and many others) is with the acetaminophen. Codeine, while a weak opioid and narcotic, has no tissue toxicity. In contrast, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a poison in high dosages. People taking acetaminophen/codeine may attempt to take many tablets in order to overcome the inherent weakness of codeine and the limited doses of it available, thus poisoning themselves not with codeine, but with acetaminophen!

Overdosage. Stop coumadin and give Vitamin K as an antidote. Bleeding is a risk.
Why is Coumadin given in the evenings?
Coumadin could be taken at any moment of the day.. as long as it is taken always at the same time. However, coumadin needs to be controlled by blood test and the dosage should be modified with the INR. The blood test is made in the morning.. the analysis and the results are received in the afternoon. We should modify the dosage for the evening... this is why Coumadin is taken in the evening.
Comadin making you tired?
Coumadin could very well make you tired. If you are taking Coumadin, a blood thinning medicine, speak to your doctor about any side effects you might be experiencing.
Could you mix codeine and Xanax?
You could but it's advisable not to. Both are sedatives. Codeine is an analgesic anti-inflammatory. Xanax is a Benzodiazipine used in treating Anxiety disorders.
Can you take cetirizine and phenylephrine together?
Just to clarify, acetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP) is a painkiller, codeine is an opoid painkiller, and cetirizine is an antihistamine. If you take them at the recommended doses, it should be fine. Remember to take in to consideration the other product warnings (eg. don't take while pregnant, if you have kidney disease etc). However I assume you want to take Cetirizine because you are taking large or recreational doses of codeine and you are getting the itches. In this case, it may be dangerous to take cetirizine with the codeine as they both cause depression of the central nervous system and their combined effect in a high enough dose would be enough to kill you. Even on their own they could kill you from respiratory arrest (you stop breathing). Also be careful if you are taking high doses of the acetaminophen and codeine tablets. There is generally enough acetaminophen to kill you or at least do some serious damage, long before you will get high from the codeine. If you insist on taking a larger than recommended dose, at least look up cold water extraction and do this on the tablets first if you want to minimise your chances of harm.
Mixing aspirin and coumadin?
COUMADIN IS A POWERFUL prescription medication that acts as a BLOODTHINNER to prevent bloodclots and strokes. ASPIRIN also acts as a BLOODTHINNER. SO....unless your physician is a specialist and specifically tells you to take aspirin and Coumadin together, you should NEVER take these two medications together. What will happen is that your blood will lose it's ability to clot. You could suffer anything from a non-stop nosebleed, to internal bleeding. The higher the doses, the more dangerous it is. If you are taking these two together or think you should take them together, PLEASE contact your prescribing physician and your pharmacist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Best to you.......
