Tylenol is acetaminophen so it would not be advisable to take Tylenol and acetaminophen/diphenhydramine since it would be a double dose of acetaminophen. However, it also depends on the total dose of the acetaminophen. Typically, you should limit a single dose of acetaminophen to 1000mg and a maximum of 4000 mg per 24 hour period.
No, this would exceed the recommended dose of acetaminophen. However, you could take just a Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with the Tylenol 3. It is the ingredient in Tylenol PM that makes you sleepy, without the extra acetaminophen.Tylenol PM contains 500 mg of acetaminophen and 25 mg of diphenhydramine.Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen and 30mg of codeine.Recommended doses for adults are:300-500 mg of acetaminophen every 4-6 hours, or up to 1000 mg every 6 hours; not to exceed 4000 mg of acetaminophen during a day25-50 mg diphenhydramine every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 50-100 mg every 4-6 hours
Since Theraflu contains phenylephrine it says you should not take it with Benadryl because it contains acetaminophen and diphenhydramine and can cause a reaction.
Tylenol PM contains diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and acetaminophen. Other sleep medications like NyQuil do as well.Acetaminophen by itself does not cause drowsiness. It is the other medications it is mixed with that do.
This depends how much Excedrin Migraine or how much Dayquil you are having. Both Excedrin (Extra Strength or Migraine) and Dayquil contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). An overdose of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, sometimes liver failure. You should not be taking more than 1000mg of acetaminophen in a six hour period of time, and no more than 4000mg in a 24 hour period. Each tablet of Excedrin Extra Strength or Excedrin Migraine contains 250mg of acetaminophen. So, each dose contains 500mg. Each tablet of Dayquil contains 325mg of acetaminophen. Each dose contains 650mg. It is up to you to add up what you are taking so that you are not taking more than is recommended. If you think you may have overdosed on acetaminophen, seek emergency care. The sooner they are able to treat you, the more likely it is they can help save your liver.
NyQuil does not contain diphenhydramine. It is doxylamine succinate.
Yes, you could probably get some psychoactive effects off of the diphenhydramine, but if there are any other ingredients, it might cause serious harm.
Not a good idea,ambien for sleeping,but diphenhydramine can cause sleepiness too.
Lortab, a medication that contains both acetaminophen and hydrocodone does not cause heart problems. However, it may cause a side effect on the heart by slowing it down.
Regular acetaminophen use increases both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, with an effect similar to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. This rise in blood pressure is seen both in those taking and not taking antihypertensive therapy
Possibly, yes, especially in large dosage.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is a Type I sedating antihistamine and should have auxiliary label "May Cause Drowsiness".
