Can you take Ibuprofen after taking 1000mg of Tylenol?
Assuming two 500mg tablets of Tylenol (acetaminophen), you could take some ibuprofen as well. Some doctors will prescribe this as both drugs work in different (but similar) ways. You need to be careful of the dosage of Ibuprofen that you take. I would recommend reading this article: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_take_acetaminophen_and_ibuprofen_together
Can you mix Tylenol with codeine and antacid together?
Yes. It's perfectly safe to take the two together. You may want to space them an hour apart, just for good measure. But they don't interact with one another, so they are safe.
Can you take Tylenol with amantadine?
From what I have been told by my son's doctor, he said not to over lap the two but then again I have found several different medication MD websites that say it is fine to take both together. This is a question for a pharmacist or doctor for sure!
What is consider an overdose in Tylenol?
Symptoms of Tylenol overdose include nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, tiredness, paleness and sweating.
The old recommendation was no more than 4000 mg per day for healthy adults (good kidneys and liver). This is 8 extra strength tablets or 12 regular strength tablets per day. The FDA Advisory board has recommended decreasing this, and the FDA will probably do so. Keep in mind that acetaminophen (the active ingredient of Tylenol) can be found in other pain killers and cold and sinus medications. Check for it if you are taking Tylenol with other medications.
What effect will taking two Paracetamol daily from 13 weeks to 28 weeks have on the baby?
Paracetamol is safe in therapeutic doses. I am surprised you are taking co-proxamol as it is a prescription only drug. 4.6 Pregnancy and lactation Pregnancy: Safety in pregnancy has not been established relative to possible adverse effects on fetal development.

This is not a valid conversion. Milliliters (mL or ml) and liters (L) are measures of volume. Grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.
Can you take Tylenol and then 2 hours later take Motrin to lower a child's fever?
You can mix the two because they are not the same medication. However I would not take anything else with acetaminophen (AKA Tylenol) such as NyQuil or Neoproxin (AKA Motrin) You should always consult a doctor before you do anything with medication.
What happens if you smoke paracetamol?
Snorting a substance will irritate the nasal canals and cause pain and maybe bleeding. Snorting hydrocodone and/or acetaminophen would cause a faster reaction than swallowing a pill, but you shouldn't snort any kind of drug without a doctor's orders.
Does tramadol have acetaminophen in it?
Tramadol Hydrochloride is a prescription painkiller and paracetamol is an over the counter painkiller. There are no reported interactions between the two. However, it would be wise to consult a physician before combining any medications.
Aspirin, sold as Bayer or Bufferin was the first over-the-counter pain reliever to see mass production. Aspirin is absorbed into the bloodstream and essentially looks for prostaglandins, substances that are concentrated where we feel pain. In short, aspirin reacts with our blood chemistry to inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which in turns limits the volume of prostaglandins. As you undoubtedly know, aspirin is used to treat headaches of all sizes, to quell minor body aches and pains, and to reduce inflammation when we're sore. But it's rough on the upper digestive tract (can cause upset stomach, heartburn, and even dyspepsia), it's bad for hemophiliacs (because it's an anticoagulant), and it's not always safe for kids (because it's linked to Reye's syndrome). Even so, aspirin is still the most common over-the-counter pain reliever, available in both brand names and generic versions. And now it's also playing a role in the treatment of heart disease as an anticoagulant.
Ibuprofen, sold as Motrin or Advil, is chemically similar to regular aspirin and functions in an analogous way, minimizing the production of prostaglandins, though it accomplishes this with slightly different chemical reactions. So how is ibuprofen different from aspirin? In lower doses, ibuprofen seems to irritate the esophagus and stomach lining less than its close cousins, aspirin and naproxen. If you have ulcers or acid reflux disease, ibuprofen may be the best product for pain clearly resulting from inflammation (arthritis, sprains, sunburns, etc.).
Naproxen, sold as Aleve, is especially effective as an anti-inflammatory agent. For arthritis, sprains, sunburns, and other inflammation-based pain, naproxen seems to edge its competition. Many women suffering from menstrual cramps also report that naproxen is more effective than standard aspirin. Also, similar doses of this over-the-counter pain reliever tend to last longer, often for 8-12 hours instead of 4-8 hours.
Acetaminophen (sometimes called paracetamol), sold as Tylenol, lowers fevers and soothes headaches effectively, but it is NOT an anti-inflammatory substance. As a result, it won't do much for arthritis or sprains. Of course, acetaminophen has some key trade-off benefits, including a milder effect on the upper digestive tract than other over-the-counter pain relievers. It is less irritating to the lining of the stomach, making it the best headache treatment for people with acid reflux disease, ulcers, and the like. Acetaminophen is also safer for hemophiliacs and children than aspirin and its friends. There are various permutations of acetaminophen on the market, so be sure to see what else it's partnered with and whether drowsiness may result from the combo.
Be aware that because its usual dosage for pain relief and its overdose amount are not incredibly different, some doctors consider acetaminophen to be more dangerous than aspirin, arguing that it is easier to overdose unintentionally which can cause kidney and liver failure leading to death. It is among the most overdosed drugs in the world. You should not take more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen a day. Taking more, especially 7000 mg or more, can lead to a severe overdose if not treated. Accidental overdose can be the result of taking multiple products containing acetaminophen. Symptoms may not occur until 12 or more hours after the acetaminophen was swallowed. There is no home treatment. Seek professional medical help immediately. Many people experience no early symptoms after an overdose. In the next 24 to 72 hours, the early symptoms start to go away, but liver damage starts to occur. The first symptom of liver damage is usually upper-right abdominal pain or tenderness (near the liver), and a healthcare provider may notice that the liver is enlarged. After this, liver failure may occur, causing symptoms such as: yellow eyes and skin (jaundice), dark urine, confusion, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), bleeding, nausea and vomiting. Some people also experience kidney failure or heart problems. Death may occur, usually as the result of swelling in the brain, infections, or multiple organ failure. Do not overdose acetaminophen! If the overdose was recent, activated charcoal may be given to prevent the body from absorbing the drug. A medication called N-acetylcysteine (Acetadote®, Mucomyst®) is extremely important for the treatment of an overdose and can help prevent liver damage. Seek medical attention!
Can you take tramadol with codeine and parACETAMOL?
Combining the two can increase the risk of seizures as well as central nervous system and respiratory depression. What that means: the drugs are very similar so taking both is a like taking more of either one. It can cause seizures or even make you stop breathing or go into a coma. The drugs can be taken together if the dosage is correct but you need to know what the correct combined dosage is. Basically Tramadol seems to be safer to use for long term treatment of minor pain (like back troubles) but it may be too soon to be sure how safe it really is. Both drugs are habit forming and there are withdrawl symptoms. There are other drugs that Tramadol and/or codeine react badly with that I have not mentioned. BE CAREFUL. Below is the FDA technical babble that supports what I have told you, (go to FDA or NIH websites for info on drugs) Interaction With Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants: Tramadol hydrochloride should be used with caution and in reduced dosages when administered to patients receiving CNS depressants such as alcohol, opioids, anesthetic agents, narcotics, phenothiazines, tranquilizers or sedative hypnotics. Tramadol hydrochloride increases the risk of CNS and respiratory depression in these patients. Seizure Risk: Seizures have been reported in patients receiving tramadol hydrochloride within the recommended dosage range. Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of tramadol hydrochloride above the recommended range. Concomitant use of tramadol hydrochloride increases the seizure risk in patients taking: • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anoretics), • Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, promethazine, etc.), or • Other opioids. (THIS MEANS CODEINE)
Can you take Darvocet ibuprofen and acetaminophen together?
Darvocet already has acetaminophen in it, so you definitely need to be careful how much other acetaminophen you are taking. The maximum dose you can safely take (and even this is pushing it) is 1000mg per 6 hours. The general rule is no more than 4000mg in a 24 hour period. Darvocet can contain up to 650mg per dose. So simply taking two Darvocet may already put you over the limit of your safe dose of acetaminophen.
It is safe to mix ibuprofen with acetaminophen based products. It is also safe to take ibuprofen with the propoxyphene which is the main ingredient in Darvocet.
If you take methadone can you take Tylenol codeine?
No, methodone does not contain any acetaminophen. Tylenol contains acetaminophen.
What is a Fatal dose of paracetamol?
There was a time, perhaps 50 years ago, when the sleeping pills doctors prescribed were really quite lethal. However, that day is pretty much gone. While those old medications exist, they're rarely prescribed and not even available on the black market anymore.
Modern sleeping pills are extremely hard to overdose on. In fact there are no really trustworthy LD50 stats on them, as the lethal dose for humans is not known. It seems they work well to put you to sleep, but aren't particularly lethal. Which is good, yes? :}
This doesn't mean they can't do you harm -- they can, and you're advised to stick to the doctor's recommendations on dosage. But at this time, there's no way to honestly say what does is lethal.
Can you bring Tylenol on a plane?
No, you are not allowed to bring any form of pain killer or allergy relief drugs. The only drug you are allowed on a plane are insulin injectors for diabetes sufferers.
If you are in pain, you must take the pain killer before you get on the plane, if you are suffering from allergies, i suggest you bring a nasal spray as they allowed on a plane as they are within the amount of fluids allowed on a flight to stop suicide bombers.
I hope this answer has been useful.
