No. The highest dose of acetaminophen without a doctor's supervision is 3000 mg, and it is 4000 mg with a doctor's orders. Any higher than that, the risk of acetaminophen poisoning with severe, irreversible liver damage can occur. If you are taking higher these doses under the conditions, please check to see if you have jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) and consult a doctor as soon as possible.

How many milligrams of Tylenol can you take at a time?

Tylenol contains acetaminophen. The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen must not exceed 4000 mg ('daily' means 24 hours). It is not recommended to take more than 1000 mg of acetaminophen at a time. The interval between 1000 mg doses should be about 6 hours. 500 mg doses can be taken more frequently, e.g. every four hours. Each Tylenol 500 gelcap, etc, contains 500 mg of pure acetaminophen. So, the daily maximum is 8 doses of Tylenol 500, not more than two doses at a time. The less, the better, as acetaminophen is not good for the liver.


Can you take NyQuil with Ventolin?

No because NyQuil has acetaminophen in it and Vicodin has it too. If you are very careful and know how much you are taking you could do it but its not recommended to take "extra" acetaminophen. The max dose of acetaminophen is 4 grams or 4,000 MG / day vicodin has .5 g or 500 mg of it. Vicodin is also given in different doses of Acetaminophen the number on the right is the amount of hydrocodone the number on the left is acetaminophen. Vicodin is prescribed in these doses of acetaminophen with different doses of acetaminophen 325, 500 and 750 MG and these doses of Hydrocodone 5, 7, 10 and I think it even comes in 15 but don't quote me on that. If you know how much acetaminophen you are taking and are very careful about how much you take you can do it without hurting yourself but be very careful because acetaminophen is HELL on your liver. You don't want to overdose on that.

Can you take 3000 mg of vicodin and not overdose?

The problem here is that Vicodin is a mixed medication. Vicodin contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. While hydrocodone is a narcotic, it is the smaller dosage medication in the pill, on average 5-10 mg per pill. Acetaminophen doses per pill can be as high as 750 mg. This is where the problem can rise. Acetaminophen creates a toxin in the liver. Normally this is not a problem, as a healthy liver can metabolize and deal with prescribed doses of the drug. However, the "3000 mg" of vicodin often refers to the acetaminophen portion, and 3000 mgs of acetaminophen is 3 times the highest recommended dosage. In short, 3000 mg of acetaminophen is likely to kill a healthy adult. Do not take more than the prescribed dosage of any medication. Do not especially take a medication you have not been prescribed. Another consideration here is that if you are familiar enough with the medication to know that the hydrocodone portion is typically no higher than 10 mg., if you take enough pills to equal 3000 mg of the hydrocodone portion, you would be taking as many as 300 pills, making the acetaminophen portion equal 225,000 mg...a bullet to the brain would be a less certain death sentence.


What of the vicodin have in it?

Vicodin is made up of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (same as Tylenol), usually at a ratio of 1:100 hydrocodone to acetaminophen. So if you had 7.5 mg of hydrocodone, you would have 750 mg of acetaminophen.


Can you take naproxen and codeine together?

Yes that would be fine, but you may want to just take more of the codeine. Just look at the prescription, these drugs usually come with 325 or 500 mg of acetaminophen, or the second number (ex, 5/500 APA the first number is the mg of Codeine and the second is the acetaminophen content. Don't exceed 3000 mg of acetaminophen as this is very hard on the heart and liver!
