Can acetaminophen and lithium carbonate be taken together?

Answer 1

id recommend against it.

lithium is for schizophrenics...so consult your doctor first! to disagree with the above but not entirely. Lithium is presribed,as it was originally intended for,for Bipolar and mood disorders that become severe. Opiates from my little knowledge are for pain. Now I dont think that opiates and lithium are going to kill you or even give you a permanent brain injury from seizures and now i just called the poison control center and they said its ok as long as it is prescribed but too much of drugs can be taxing on the liver any way. They usual are concerned for the callers there but dont use illegal or unprescribed drugs it is habit forming and can potentially make you find you are and addict.

Answer 2

From: http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php Interactions between your selected drugs Lithium and Morphine (Moderate Drug-Drug) MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Answer 3

Acetaminophen and lithium carbonate can be taken together, but it is important to consult with a healthcare provider first. Acetaminophen can interact with lithium and may increase the risk of lithium toxicity. Monitoring by a healthcare professional is recommended to ensure safe and effective use of these medications together.
