What else can I help you with?
Tylenol 500mg is it similar to Tylenol 3?
yes but Tylenol three has codiene in it which means you need a prescription to obtain Tylenol 3 really contains codeine, but that is not all. Tylenol 3 contains only 300mg of acetaminophen, almost half of 500mg in Extra Strength, Tylenol PM or Tylenol 500). It is very important, as the maximum dosage of acetaminophen must not be exceeded (1000mg at a time, or 4000mg during the day).
What is maximum dose of ibuprofen and acetaminophen when taken together?
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) passes though the liver, while Ibuprofen (Motrin) is passed through your kidneys. You can take your dosage (based on your weight ) for either medications at the same time safely. As a PA in the pediatric ER we do tell parents that they can give their child BOTH Tylenol and Motrin to help fight a bad fever. We like to have them have some overlap time because then the fever is covered (Take Tylenol 1st and 2 hours later take Motrin). Most of the time we just suggest straight Motrin (more than Tylenol) because the overlap can be confusing and their is a higher risk of Tylenol overdose than with Motrin. Remember Asprin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is different than Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetaminphen) and should NOT be given to children because it can cause Reyes Syndrome.
Can you take diflucan and Tylenol at same time?

Can you take regular Tylenol with Tylenol 3?
You can if you do not exceed the maximum dose of Tylenol taken at a time (1000mg) and during the day (4000mg). Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen. Tylenol Extra Strength contains 500mg of acetaminophen, Tylenol 8 Hour contains 650mg of acetaminophen. So, you have to count not to overdose.
How many milligrams of Tylenol can you take at a time?
Tylenol contains acetaminophen. The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen must not exceed 4000 mg ('daily' means 24 hours). It is not recommended to take more than 1000 mg of acetaminophen at a time. The interval between 1000 mg doses should be about 6 hours. 500 mg doses can be taken more frequently, e.g. every four hours. Each Tylenol 500 gelcap, etc, contains 500 mg of pure acetaminophen. So, the daily maximum is 8 doses of Tylenol 500, not more than two doses at a time. The less, the better, as acetaminophen is not good for the liver.
Is it safe to take Tylenol and kaopectate at the same time?
There will be absoption problems on the part of Tylenol induced by the kaopectate. Hence can't be used at the same time. In other word the plasma concentration of the Tylenol will be reduced resulting in reduced bio-availability. Thus its efficacy will be jeopadiced.
Can you use Tylenol tablets by mouth and Tylenol suppositories at the same time to lower fever?
The maximum amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol, Motrin) that can be taken a day is 4000mg. The maximum one dose (every 4 to 6 hours) is 1500mg. Whether you make a combination of oral and anal doesn't matter as long as you do not cross those limits. -Jennapsyche
What is the peak effect time of Tylenol?
The peak effect time of Tylenol (acetaminophen) typically occurs about 1 to 2 hours after oral administration. However, this can vary based on individual factors such as metabolism, dosage, and whether it is taken with food. It is important to follow dosing guidelines for optimal effectiveness and safety.
Can you take two Tylenol 3 with codine?
Two - every 4 hours, and even three - every 6 hours. The matter is that the maximum dose of acetaminophen for adults is 1000mg at a time, and 4000mg per day. Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen. That is, not more than three Tylenol doses at a time.
What are the numbers on a Vicodin caplet?
Vicodin is an opiate analgesic compound drug, and has 2 primary components, Hydrocodone, and Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Tylenol and Aspirin are very common combinations with opiates, though aspirin is used less than Tylenol for longer term patients. The lower number on the pill indicates the amount of Hydrocodone in milligrams; the larger number is the amount of Tylenol in the caplet, in milligrams. It's extremely important to note the Tylenol dosage in the caplet if you're taking OTC Tylenol at the same time to augment the Vicodin to help your pain levels. You must take into account the total dosage amount of Tylenol in your system over a 24 hour period so you don't exceed the daily limit, which has been lowered from 4 to 3 grams per day.
How many Tylenol does it take to overdose?
it only takes about 50 tylenols to kill yourself, but only 15 to overdose, but it cant kill you. Also depends on gender, age, wt, etc
Is taking 7000mg of Tylenol per day dangerous if so what are the effects?
Yes, it is dangerous. Adults are not supposed to take more than 1000mg at a time. (Two Tylenol tablets containing 500mg each) Maximum is 4000mg per day. (8 Xtra Strength Tylenol) Exceeding the recommended amount can damage the liver. "This includes all products that contain Tylenol. It takes quite a long time for one Tylenol to be completely broken down by the liver and excreted by the kidneys.." -(part of original answer.)
