What is the difference with 325mg to 3.25mg?
This is the same as asking what is the difference between $325 and $3.25; there is a HUGE difference. However, a small number doesn't always mean much. Tylenol and aspirin are 325mg per tablet. A patient who is having a heart attack would receive 2-4 mg of morphine. 325mg of morphine would be deadly and 3.25mg of tylenol wouldn't even be helpful if you were the size of a cat.
Dogs and Tylenol?

Can you take aspirin and acetaminophen together?
You Should not mix Acetaminophen (Tylenol)[Paracetamol ]and Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). The reason for this is long term renal (kidney) damage. What happens is - the Tylenol induces the formation of free oxide radicals which damage tissues (especially the kidneys and liver). This is normally not an issue at low Tylenol doses.However, when you add Aspirin to the mix, the free oxide radicals become an issue. Aspirin is a Cyclooxygenase inhibitor (COX), which decreases prostaglandin (PGE 2) synthesis.Prostaglandins are responsible for vasodilatation of the renal afferent arterioles. If you are on Aspirin the renal afferent arterioles are vasoconstricted and subsequently renal blood flow is decreased. When renal blood flow is compromised your kidney is less able to deal with the free oxide radicals produced by Tylenol.So what happens?The free oxide radicals damage the renal medulla (which may slough off) or lose the ability to concentrate urine due to damage to the most notably the thick ascending limb of the nephron. This is called Analgesic Nephropathy.Having said this, the damage is caused by long term mixing of Tylenol and Aspirin, so having mixed the two in the past once five years ago is not going to compromise your kidneys. Just make sure to avoid the mistake in the future, and Pass on this information (there are way too many sources providing incorrect information on this subject).
Does drinking a hot coke and taking two aspirin kill a fetus?
Acetominophen (Tylenol) is usually the recommended pain/fever reliever in pregnant women. Esp. in the third trimester, taking aspirin can cause problems with blood clotting, and women can "bleed out" during childbirth. Pregnant women often take acetylsalicylic acid, for example to relieve headache. This sometimes happens before the pregnancy has even been detected. There is no cause for concern in either of these cases. Clinical studies have shown that when used correctly (i.e. on occasion and at the standard, prescription-free dose), acetylsalicylic acid is safe for both mother and child. In the last trimester of pregnancy however, acetylsalicylic acid should not be taken by pregnant women due to the risk of a contraction-inhibiting effect.
