In one sitting taking anywhere from 6-200 will overdose but not kill.

Can you take diplofenac sodium tablets and paracetamol together?
Yes Diclofenac can be used as an adjuvant treatment with Paracetamol to reduce pain. They can be used together for up to 48 hours, after that it is reccommended that Paracetamol use be discontinued to avoid it building up in your system. For the same reason you also must not exceed one paracetamol tablet in every 4-6 hours and stay within the daily maximum dose of 4g. There are no interactions between the drugs to worry about but confusion can be caused because Diclofenac can be used long term and Paracetamol cannot, and so if someone believed they could take the two together long term, or simply got used to taking the two together by habit, then they would cause a paracetamol overdose.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! 5mg is alot of lorazepam. And 2 Tylenol pm is usually more than the directed dose. I would not take anythinggggg at all with PM in it if you are taking lorazepam. If 5mg lorazepam is not enough of an anxiolytic/sedative for you please see your doctor.
Can i take Tylenol cold when taking adderall for a cold?
I don't think you're taking Adderall for a cold, at least I hope not! Tylenol should not have any interactions with Adderall when taken as indicated.
It is recommended that you do not take adderall while you are using cold medicine. Both adderall and cold medicine are known for raising your blood pressure, so if you are taking both it would be a good idea to monitor your BP.
Can you take dextromethorphan HBr with amoxicillin?
Several products contain both, so it would seem safe to assume "yes". The caution lies in being careful not to mix combination medications which may each contain the same or similar medications, leading to the risk of overdose. Always read your labels carefully, and if you have any question whatsoever, so not hesitate to ask your doctor or licensed pharmacist.
Examples:
Theraflu® Cold & Cough (containing Dextromethorphan, Pheniramine, Phenylephrine) Zotex® (containing Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, Phenylephrine)
Zicam® Cough Plus D (containing Dextromethorphan, Phenylephrine)

Can you take prednisolone and paracetamol together?
Before taking any medication for the first time, it is important to talk with your doctor first to see if there has been any cases of side effects from mixing two drugs together. Prednisolone is take to help with asthma, and Co-codomal is used for back pain, so it is possible that there will be some side effects.
== == Easily Tylenol/Acetaminophen/Paracetamol can be overdosed on. For average size adults, greater than 4g in 1 day will be toxic and more than this has been indicated to cause severe liver toxicity and liver failure. Never exceed the recommended amount stated on the back of the medicine box. If overdose is suspected even if no simptoms appear you must immediately call your Poisons information center, Doctor or Pharmacist. Don't take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) with other acetaminophen products. You could exceed the recommended limits and cause liver failure. Acetaminophen is in many cough and cold products and sleep aids, and is an ingredient in many prescription pain relievers. You don't want to overdose. Parents should be cautious when giving acetaminophen to children. For example, the infant drop formula is three times more concentrated than the children's suspension. It's important to read drug labels every time you use a drugand to make sure that your child is getting the children's formula and your infant is getting the infants' formula.
Can you take aspirin and tylenol 3 together?
You should not mix Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). The reason for this is long term renal (kidney) damage. What happens in 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).
If you're having pain that bad, maybe your doctor can prescribe something stronger or more effective. It's very important not to exceed the recommended daily dose of either medication. Like prescription medications, there are side effects to medications that you can buy over the counter. When you have questions about medications, the best person to ask is a pharmacist. You can call any drugstore and speak to one, you don't have to be a customer.
Yes you can take both together (called polypharmacy) There used to be an over the counter med called Vanqish. It had aspirin/acetaminophen (TYLENOL) and caffeine. The Tylenol compliments the aspirin and the caffeine helps aspirin work better. BUT don't take high doses of each--take like 325 mg. Tylenol and 325 mg aspirin. If aspirin bothers your stomach, buy coated aspirin, called enteric aspirin. It dissolves in your intestine instead of your stomach. Generic enteric coated aspirin from a place like Wal*Mart is inexpensive. Also save your money and buy generic Tylenol (acetaminophen). Long term use (within reason) should not be a problem.
Do not use Tylenol (acetaminophen) with any other products containing acetaminophen. You can exceed daily recommended limits and cause liver damage. Read all labels carefully (cough syrup, etc.).
Advice from a US licensed pharmacist is that it is safe to take acetaminophen and aspirin together as long as you follow the recommended dosages of either and have no allergies to either or conditions that would preclude your taking of either of these medications. As above, do not use acetaminophen with any other products containing acetaminophen.
Apparently so, since the active ingredient in Tylenol, acetaminophen, is used in combination with aspirin, in Anacin Advanced (250 mg acetaminophen, 250 mg aspirin and 65 mg caffeine.)
Can Tylenol and ibuprophen be taken together?
Adults: Yes, they work by different mechanisms. Don't go over 4 grams of Tylenol/day (1 extra strength Tylenol is 500 mg) or over 1200 mg of ibuprofen/day (each tablet is 200 mg). If you have any bleeding, cardiovascular, kidney, or liver problems, run it by your doctor before taking these medications.
Children: In theory, the answer is yes, but to my knowledge, there have not been a lot of studies in children with both medications being used. Better to err on the side of caution and alternate between the two every 4 to 6 hours.
AnswerNo. DON'T DO IT. My friend really struggled. 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.
ibuprofen=Advil, Motrin
naproxen sodium = Aleve
Basically, don't take Tylenol(acetaminophen) with anything.
Don't take Tylenol with alcohol(it increases the toxicity). Taking one acetaminophen tablet daily for a year also increases the risk of kidney failure.
Some forms of actaminophen are

- Excedrin
Do not use Tylenol with any other products containing acetaminophen. Tylenol is acetaminophen and you can exceed the daily recommended limits if you combine it with other acetaminophen products. Excess use can cause liver damage and failure.
Acetaminophen is contained in countless pain formulations, cold products, sinus preparations, and more (e.g. Sinutab, Midol, Ultracet, Dristan).
Many people do not realize that acetaminophen is found in more than 600 over the counter drugs. It can be found in combination with other active ingredients in many cold, sinus, and cough medications.

It is strongly recommended you research this yourself. Excess use can cause liver damage in kids and adults. Do not let someone decide for you;always research these topics yourself!!!!! Never listen to message boards. A lot of people lie on websites.
Please do not take my word for it. Please always research it yourself at a reliable source. If in doubt, talk to your doctor.
