Can you take triaminic thin strips and Tylenol?

Just read the Triaminic packaging. Tylenol's active ingredient is acetaminophen. If the Triaminic does NOT contain any acetaminophen, then you can safely take them together without double doses.

If Triaminic DOES contain acetaminophen, then try taking Motrin or Ibuprofen 2 hours after the acetaminophen.

Check with your pediatrician! Call their office number and get connected to the after-hours emergency service. A nurse will gladly call you back about medication questions.

How much Tylenol is in 20 mg of Oxycontin?

You should double-check what is listed on the label, but Oxycontin is a brand name for time-release oxycodone tablets that contain no acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Can dogs take Tylenol for cold weather joint pain?

No; dogs are not small humans and do not react to human medications well. Over the counter pain medications for humans, like Tylenol, are actually toxic to dogs and can kill them even in small doses. If you suspect that your dog has arthritis (joint pain), you should take your dog to your veterinarian and he/she can prescribe a pain medication that is safe for your dog to take.

You can also make it easier for your older dog to handle cold weather by providing warm blankets for him/her to lay on or providing heat to his/her resting place through the cold weather. Remember that dogs with long hair coats (German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, etc.) will tolerate the cold much better than humans while short-coated breeds (like Chihuahuas, Boston Terriers and Boxers) will be more like humans in their reaction to cold weather.

How many tablets of acetaminophen codeine?

The Tylenol is much more toxic than the codeine in the medication. You would die from liver damage before you would die from lack of breathing/heart function and CNS (central nervous system) depression from the codeine. So, follow the protocol for Tylenol toxicity and maximum daily dosage. That is, no more than 4000mg, or 4 grams, of Tylenol when taking the medication short term. In extra strength Tylenol, this equates to 8 tablets. You should never take more than 1000mg, or 1 gram, (2 tablets of extra strength Tylenol) in a 4 hour period.

If you're taking the medication for chronic or long-term treatment (continuously for 2 weeks or more), 2500mg per day is the rule of thumb. Anything over that and you're at risk for liver damage. Alcohol consumption, of course, (as well as intake of several other substances) increases the likelihood of liver damage and lowers the threshold of the amount of Tylenol required to cause liver damage and failure.

Liver failure from Tylenol is not sudden nor immediate. It happens slowly and often unnoticeably before it's too late. I don't think I need to say that getting a liver transplant for a liver that you damaged yourself and avoidably so is very difficult as "supplies" are limited and reserved for those who have a failing liver though no fault of their own.

Is Tylenol codeine 4 stronger than norco 5Mg?

First of all, the "500" on the label IS tylenol, the generic of tylenol actually, acetaminophen. Vicodin will show up as 5/500 etc. The 5 is the dose of the hydrocodone and the 500 is the dose of acetaminophen. SO the answer is NO they are not.

Zyrtec contains cetirizine, it is a class of medications called antihistamines.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure.

Can dialysis patients take Tylenol?

As long as you take Tylenol in small recommended doses, you should be fine. This is because Tylenol is broken down by the liver instead of the kidneys.

What is maximum dose of ibuprofen and acetaminophen when taken together?

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) passes though the liver, while Ibuprofen (Motrin) is passed through your kidneys. You can take your dosage (based on your weight ) for either medications at the same time safely.

As a PA in the pediatric ER we do tell parents that they can give their child BOTH Tylenol and Motrin to help fight a bad fever. We like to have them have some overlap time because then the fever is covered (Take Tylenol 1st and 2 hours later take Motrin). Most of the time we just suggest straight Motrin (more than Tylenol) because the overlap can be confusing and their is a higher risk of Tylenol overdose than with Motrin. Remember Asprin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is different than Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetaminphen) and should NOT be given to children because it can cause Reyes Syndrome.

Is it safe to take Vicodin and Tylenol together?

No never take extra tylonal when taking vicodin. vicodin already contains tylonal. More tylonal will hurt your liver and kill you.

Is it safe to take Tylenol pm with Wellbutrin?

I would recommend talking to your doctor if you are having pains which keep you up at night. The Benadryl in Tylenol-PM can react with Wellbutrin and cause increased side effects. They are not life threatening, but why risk it if you can talk to the doctor and figure out what's causing this problem. One of the early symptoms of depression is vague aches and pains - if that's what's going on, your doctor can adjust your wellbutrin dose.

How do you sniff Tylenol?

Follow the directions on the bottle. It's different for adults and kids. Also, don't take Tylenol, which is acetaminophen, with other acetaminophen products. You can exceed the daily recommended limits and cause liver damage. Use of Tylenol with other pain relievers (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen or prescription pain relievers) is not recommended, unless directed by your doctor.

How did acetaminophen get its name?

The trade name "Tylenol" is derived from the name of the chemical formula: para-aceTYLaminophENOL. Note as well that both common generic descriptions of the drug ("acetaminophen" in the U.S., Canada and several other countries but "paracetamol" in most other countries) are derived from that same name.
