How long do you wait after talking Tylenol before taking Aspirin?

Tylenol and Ibuprofen are two different classifications of drugs. They may be taken together. For prolonged pain/fever relief, the best way is to take the Tylenol and then two hours later take the Ibuprofen.

How many Tylenol 3 can I take for pain?

Yes, Tylenol 3 contains a compound of Tylenol (300mg) and Codeine (30mg) I've gotten this for the severe sore throat I have, it says to take 2 every 4 hours and right now it's taken down the pain, now I can finally sleep (haven't slept in 2 days since my coughing was bad) Make sure you take it with food, as you can get gut pain. Never go over 2 tablets, that should be enough. You can also get a "high" feeling. Remember taking so much Tylenol 3 for a long period a time will cause liver failure as it contains Acetaminophen which is only good if you ONLY take 2 every 4 hours as needed. Do not exceed what they strongly recommend. IT IS ENOUGH, trust me. I'm 170 pounds, took 2 and the pain went dramatically down, I can finally sleep. I tried half of another pill, now I have gut pain. Just eat some food, then take 2 Tylenol 3, also this can only be prescribed. No over the counter. YOU CAN ALSO GET ADDICTED SO BE CAREFUL ON YOUR DOSES!

Can you take minocycline and Tylenol while taking topiramate?

Yes. Paracetamol is simply a fancy name for Tylenol. It has no effect on Topamax.

Which is more effective for pain 10 mg hydrocodone with 500 acetaminophen or 10 mg with 325 mg of acetaminophen?

The only difference between these two pills is the amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol) contained within. As to which one is more effective, it can depend on what kind of pain you have. If it is an 'inflammatory' type of pain that Tylenol works really well against, more Tylenol (10/500) would be better. On the other hand, some people report that the hydrocodone is more effective with less Tylenol, and prefer the 10/325 combination instead. I believe the phrase "More killer, less filler" is used to express this preference :)

Hope that helps!

Can you mix acetaminophen and vicodin?

ALWAYS check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking any Medications. CVN, Walgreens or any chain or Mom & Pop Pharmacist would be glad to give you advice based on your particular condition.

Vicodin is a Narcotic pain releiver in the opioid family it has "Hydrocodone" as an active ingredient, it also has a NSAID named "acetaminophen" in it (main ingredient in Tylenol).

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin group of drugs. It fights bacteria in your body and is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria. It will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or Flu.

These medicines do not perform the same function and should not affect the same systems. The Pain medicine is going to act on your CNS (Central nervous system). You should not take more than the doctor prescribed, because you can relax your breathing too much and go into what is called respitory depression, and die.

Some people think they can abuse the drug "Hydrocodone" because they feel okay and have takin it for a while, but they too can fall asleep and basically stop breathing and die as a result.

These medicines should be safe to take together. Dentists give these medicine together for conditions such as an abscessed tooth. The antibiotic will treat infection and the pain medicine will subside the pain while the antibiotic is working on what is causing the pain. So idealy by the time you finish your pain medicine then you shouldn't need it anymore, because the infection should be treated enough for the dentist to work on your tooth. They don't like to work on your teeth when there is an infection because bacteria can enter the bloodstream and attack the heart.

Again, always check with qualified people for your particular situation and all medications you are taking.

Can you take Tylenol prior to having a biopsy done?

Yes, you can take Tylenol medication before blood work using the most current analytic systems. There is a possibility Tylenol may interfere with blood glucose tests depending on the meter. Contact the manufacturer of the particular glucose meter used for further details.

Does codeine Tylenol pills get you high?

Yes codeine gets you high.

Codeine is a very addictive drug that is intended as a painkiller. Many painkillers can get you high, but the risk of an overdose is far too great to toy around with. It is illegal to use controlled substances without a prescription from a licensed physician, and even then it is illegal to take more than your prescribed dosage.

What is the maximum safe dosage of Tylenol at one time?

Do not take more Tylenol in a 24-hour period than is recommended on the bottle. Current FDA guidelines recommend taking no more than 625mg in a single dose to reduce the risk of acetaminophen toxicity, which can cause liver failure.

How much acetaminophen is in hydrocodone tens?

Varies between 325 and 660mg. Vicodin for example contains 5mg/500mg but Norco has 10mg/325mg. It is said that acetaminophen increases the effect of hydro but I have had sure 10mg hydro in Germany and the analgesic effect appears to be about the same.

How far apart should Tylenol and ibuprofen be taken when using together?

You can safely swap Tylenol and ibuprophen every two hours minimal. doing it this way is the best way to keep pain,fever and immflamation down.

Can you take Tylenol and antibiotics together?

Yes, you can. The popular brand of OTC pain reliever, Excedrin, is actually just that - a combination of these two drugs, plus the amount of caffeine equal to one cup of coffee.

For adults, if the pain is severe, you can take two aspirin and two acetaminophen at the same time, then alternate the two drugs every two hours afterwards. For example, after taking two of the aspirin and two acetaminophen, wait two hours, then take two aspirin OR two acetaminophen, then in two more hours, take two of the other. Do NOT continue this for more than one day without your doctors approval.

Is it safe to take 600 mg ibuprofen with 200 mg Tylenol?

These two medications work on pain through different mechanisms so they can be taken together, but DO NOT take them until you have talked to your doctor and/or pharmacist. These drugs may have reactions to other medications you are on, diseases, and/or food and drink.

p.s. the 325 mg in percocet refers to the acetaminophen, but it also contains oxycodone (narcotic).

Description

This drug is available without a prescription. Acetaminophen-or APAP-is sold under various brand names, including Tylenol, Panadol, Aspirin Free Anacin, and Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache Pain Relief Formula. Many multi-symptom cold, flu, and sinus medicines also contain acetaminophen. Check the ingredients listed on the container to see if acetaminophen is included in the product.

Studies have shown that acetaminophen relieves pain and reduces fever about as well as aspirin. But differences between these two common drugs exist. Acetaminophen is less likely than aspirin to irritate the stomach. However, unlike aspirin, acetaminophen does not reduce the redness, stiffness, or swelling that accompany arthritis.

Can dogs have panadol?

No!

it thins their blood to dangerous levels. If you have a small breed 5-15 kg, even 250 mg of panadol can be fatal

Correction:

Paracetamol, also known as Panadol, does not thin the blood like aspirin (and ibuprofen) does.

Any reason not to give dogs Paracetamol is because of the risk of liver damage from incorrect dosage. Always check with your vet for correct dosage.

Can ibuprofen and acetaminophen be taken together safely?

Ibuprofen and Tylenol work on different mechanisms, these drugs can be LETHAL if you take an overdose. Many teenagers have died after swallowing a bottle of Tylenol.

Ibuprofen can cause intestinal bleeding and ulcers.

Tylenol can cause liver failure or even death!

You can safely take Tylenol and Ibuprofen together as they are totally different drugs the combination of drugs controls high fevers, aches and pains, and several other conditions. However as with any drug you should speak with your doctor/pharmacist before taking anything new.

Ibuprofen is considered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meaning it blocks pain and reduces inflammation.

Tylenol is an analgesic (pain reliever) which is used for pain relief and fever reduction.

These drugs can cause serious side effects, so make sure you read the label, and the prescribing information before you take the drugs. If in doubt speak with your pharmacist who is very knowledgeable in this area and will advise you of the correct dosage, and the contraindications of the two drugs combined.
