Acetaminophen has many uses, most as a pain killer, as for my chronic back condition. But before you take it ask a pharmacist what would be the best treatment for the condition that is bothering you, or your family Doctor.

Can you mix oxycodone with excedrin?
I have found that mixing the two increases the effects of the oxy. Not a good combination though if you are taking oxy apap due to the fact that two excedrin has 500mg of acetaminophen in it that is simply too much tylenol in that case I would use ibuprofen instead. Keep ur head on straight and stay safe.
What was your hypothesis when you did which pain reliever dissolves the fastest?
i recently did this project and our hypothesis was that out of our four pain relievers (naproxen sodium - like aleve, acetaminophen - like tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen - like motrin), naproxen sodium would take the longest to dissolve while ibuprofen and acetaminophen would dissolve the quickest. our hypothesis was proved partially right: naproxen sodium did take the longest to dissolve. however, aspirin was the quickest, not acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Can you take acetaminophen in place of your low dose aspirin for your heart palpitations?
You could, but it would not have much of an effect. Aspirin is prescribed for heart problems because of its anticlotting abilities; acetaminophen does not have any real medical use aside from being a good painkiller (the only trait the two drugs share).
What are the long term affects of using goody powders in excess?
Since Goody's Powder contains both aspirin and acetaminophen, it would be reasonable to assume that two of the possible results would be stomach irritation -- perhaps ulcers -- (aspirin) and liver malfunction (acetaminophen). Both would be exaggerated and accelerated by use of alcohol.

What other aspirins can you take that do not have aspirin?
Aspirin is Aspirin. When people say "Take an Aspirin," they are actually referencing the drug itself. If your question is "What other Over the Counter pain reliever/blood thinners can I take that do not contain Aspirin," then I would have to ask what purpose you need it for. As for Pain Relievers, anything containing Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Advil), or Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) may be of some help. If you're looking for an OTC Blood Thinner, Aspirin is your best bet, however Ibuprofen may also be of some help.
Can you combine Vicodin and acetaminophen?
Most over-the-counter cough syrup medications have ibuprophen, or a similar drug, in them already as an inflamation reducer and pain relief. Look at the directions that came with your cough medicine, as a list of all included medications should be listed. If the medication does not contain ibuprophen, and there are no warnings against taking the ibuprophen, then it should be ok to take the recommended dose of both. For a more complete answer, and before taking most medications, see you doctor.
