Can you take tramadol with extra strength Tylenol?

Absolutely! When I had my knee replacement done, I was prescribed Tramadol (or Ultram) and paracetamol (or Tylenol/acetaminophen) in combo. The doses were 50 to 150 mgs of Tramadol (NOT extended release!) with 1,000mg of paracetamol every 4-6 hrs minimum. It worked wonderfully well for me.

Can you take Ativan with Tylenol or Advil?

Both medication can be taken together. However, both have similar side effects and these might be increased. If you can take a smaller dose (half) of ativan the night you take Tylenol PM, it would be the best choice.

Can you take propranolol and paracetamol?

It will not hurt you, but only a doctor can prescribe the extra dosage. As always, only a doctor can prescribe an increase in medication, and it is a bad idea to take medicines in a dosage not prescribed by a medical professional.

Does Ibuprofen 200 mg contain acetaminophen?

No. Tylenol has acetaminophen as its active ingredient. Ibuprofen belongs to a separate class of drugs known as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and is the active ingredient in products such as Motrin and Advil.

What happens if you take two Paracetamol with a can of Coke?

As long as you take the recommended two paracetamol tablets (1000mg), a can of coke will cause no negative effects. In fact, it could be suggested that the caffeine in the drink would increase the analgesic (painkilling) effects of the paracetamol. This same combination can be seen in such products as Panadol Extra, which includes 65mg of caffeine in each tablet. A can of coke has just under 50mg of caffeine, so it won't be as effective, but nonetheless no harm will be caused.

Is it safe to take Percocet with Tylenol?

....really? Percocet is a mixture of two different active ingredients. Oxycodone and Tylenol. Tylenol is also known as acetaminophen. So there is already acetaminophen in percocet. There is no reason to take MORE Tylenol. However, if you really feel the need it won't hurt to take a Tylenol or two with your prescription. You need to be careful though, too much Tylenol is known to cause liver damage. Keep it reasonable and you will be fine.

Can you take Tamiflu and acetaminophen?

Yes, you can take acetaminophen and fluoxetine (Prozac) together without any adverse side effects. Keep in mind that you should take no more than 1000mg of acetaminophen in a 4-6 hour period and no more than 4g in 24 hours.

What classification is Tylenol?

"Class" is a bit ambiguous.

"Tylenol 2" refers to a specific brand and formulation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and codeine. Acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Codeine is a narcotic (it also has other properties, such as being an antitussive (cough suppressant)).


Codeine itself is a Schedule II drug, but when mixed with acetaminophen, it is usually classified as Schedule III (mixing it with acetaminophen reduces the abuse potential, because acetaminophen is toxic to the liver in doses much above the recommended therapeutic dose; this keeps people from just taking many Tylenol 2 pills to obtain a large dose of codeine).

Is Tylenol with codeine a opiate?

It depends on if you specifically need opioids in ur system. Most places do not check for opioids, but generally DO test for opiates. Now, from experience and knowledge of this subject, id like to clear up the fact that there's one big differences between these two. Right from first check's web responses recently, it only shows that standard opiate screens pickup codeine, hydrocodone, morphine, and diacytel morphine (heroin) show as opiates. Their "oxycodone" (opioid) screen picks up on hydromorphone(dilaudid), oxycodone(percocet/oxy contin) and oxymorphone(opana er), and can show low lvl positives.. if Bupenorphrine(suboxone main ingredient) is in ur system. If the latter is the case, n if a specialized test is done for it, it will no longer show as a simple opioid so keep that in mind. But anyway, opiates r naturally occurring alkaloids in the poppy plants, in the "pods". Opioids are a class that gets processed from the opiate alkaloids. These include codeine, morphine, heroin, narcatine,
Codeine is indeed an opioid

What happens if you smoke acetaminophen?

Why are oxycodone and acetaminophen combined in one drug if they are both analgesics?

Because all analgesics do not work the same way. Different medicines treat different kinds of pain because theyaffect the different receptors in the brain. Percodan works the same way, it uses 5mg's of oxycodone as well as a certain amount of asprin. It is very common for Dr's who treat people with chronic pain or certain diseases with a combination of different pain medications.

Can dogs take Tylenol powder?

oh no, my dog took medication and he started to get really hyper. there are natural ways to help dog's allergies. I used doggy goo and it helped my dog, and stopped him from biting his paws.

No. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is very toxic to the liver and could even kill a very small or young dog depending on the dose. Never use it unless the vet prescribes it.

Can you take Tylenol and Risperdal together?

No, you cannot take two sedating medications together. If you are having pain which is keeping you up at night, you need to call your doctor and find out what to do. Overdosing on sedating drugs can cause confusion and trouble breathing. You might pass out.

Does Vicodin have Tylenol in it?

Depends on the type of vicodin. Generic vicodin ES contains 7.5 mgs of hydrocodone and 500 mg acetaminophen.

Can you take both dramamine and Tylenol cold medicine?

The answer is probably yes - dramamine is an antihistamine while Tylenol is generally acetominophen (an NSAID). However, if the Tylenol has any other active ingredient (check the back of the box), I would not mix the medications without consulting a pharmacist.

Can you take Tylenol cold and sinus night time and Wellbutrin?

Short answer: yes, they can safely be combined in full, normal doses.

Advil Cold and Sinus is ibuprofen (NSAID analgesic) with pseudoephedrine/phenylephrine (nasal decongestant; the active ingredient in Sudafed), and Tylenol PM is acetaminophen (analgesic) with diphenhydramine (sleep aid; the active ingredient in Benadryl). Combining ibuprofen and acetaminophen is a little redundant, but perfectly safe. Both also have no significant reaction with either diphenhydramine or pseudoephedrine. Some people do report different reactions to both diphenhydramine and pseudoephedrine: some people are sedated by both, and some report excitability. Be sure to note your personal reactions for future reference.

Note that you'd probably save some money and take fewer unneccesary drugs by purchasing generic versions of each drug separately -- ibuprofen, acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, and pseudoephedrine. The first two are for pain (you can opt for the one you prefer), the third is for insomnia, and the fourth is for nasal congestion. That way, you can take only what you need.

Can you take codeine phosphate and paracetamol on the same day?

Yes, you can take paracetamol (Tylenol) with codeine AS LONG AS the prescription does not say "APAP". APAP means that it already contains paracetamol which can increase risk of overdose and death.

As always with Codeine Phosphate, do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking it. You may need to increase your intake of clear fluids, as Codeine is notorious for causing constipation. You should take this medication with food as taking on a empty stomach can cause upset stomachs. Also, do not take codeine for long periods of time, it is a narcotic and can be habit forming.

With Tylenol (paracetamol/acetaminophen/APAP) do not consume more than 4g (4000 mg) or 8 - extra strength (500 mg) tablets in any 24 hour period.

Does tylenol extra strength acetaminophen come back positive in urine tests?

These are the drugs they test for in a standard drug test, Tylenol is not one of them.

  1. Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash)
  2. Cocaine (cocaine, crack, benzoylecognine)
  3. Amphetamines (amphetamines, methamphetamines, speed)
  4. Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)
