it is better to stop
My mom's friend brought back some acetiminophen325mg 15mg caffiene and 8mg codiene. not exactly a Tylenol 3 but it does have codeine in it. Although the bottle says regular strength so maybe the extra is better.
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.
codiene as a pain relieverusually codiene is already mixed with a pain reliever, like Tylenol. (Tylenol #3 is Tylenol with codiene) to add advil would probably do you no better, and might even contribuite to a stomach ache. But if you already did it, it won't hurt you.
I would say that taking 1 2mg Dilaudid pill is equivalent to 10 mg of Morphine. Which is basically like taking 40 Tylenol 3's. Dilaudid is the strongest painkiller available, while T 3's would be the weakest. Hope this helps, not a Dr. but know about painkillers.
They are similar in strength, some people feel Codeine works better.
i would say Tylenol, but that's just me. i have been buying Tylenol for years and it never let me down.
Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (Naproxen sodium, which in higher doses is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory), and aspirin may be better at helping calm down the inflammation which part of the migraine reaction than Tylenol (acetaminophen, in the UK/AU - paracetamol) That said, some people do find relieve from preparations like Excedrin (Excedrin Migraine is the same thing, same ingredients in the same amounts), which have acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine in it. Caffeine helps by making the other medications work faster, as well as acting as a vasoconstrictor (temporarily acting on inflamed blood vessels). Aspirin, like ibuprofen and naproxen, acts on prostaglandins to reduce pain and inflammation. Acetaminophen itself really only reduces pain, it does not act on inflammation. If you are under 18 or pregnant/nursing, it may not be safe to take aspirin. If you an adult on anti-coagulant therapy (coumadin, warfarin) , please speak to your doctor first.
Tylenol
No. Naproxen is an anti inflammatory, so does not make you high. You will likely get better pain relief though, when you take an anti inflammatory with an opioid painkiller.
I would say Tylenol, definitely. Advil secondly, Motrin thirdly.
Does drinking water with promethazine with codeine cough syrup help the medication work better
