Can you take aspirin and acetaminophen together?
You Should not mix Acetaminophen (Tylenol)[Paracetamol ]
and Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). The reason for this is long term renal (kidney) damage. What happens is - 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).
Acetavance by Cadance (CADX) is an injectable acetaminophen, imminent FDA approval is likely.
It is already available in Europe. For many decades intravenous dosing was not an option because of degradation in solution, and generally poor solubility
Can you take Tylenol cold multi-symptom medicine two hours after taking aspirin?
There should be no problem taking these to medications in close temporal proximity, as there is no significant interactions between aspirin and tylenol.
Can you take acetaminophen with Ibuprofen?
Yes, you can take both of these medications at the same time, and in fact your doctor may recommend that you do so. These drugs do not exhibit any inherent, dangerous interaction with each other, and have been in the field for a long time, so no new findings are likely or anticipated.
However, as toxicity is always a function of dosage, any time you take any active medication, you need to be aware of how much you take, and what other medications you're taking that act in the same manner. Ibuprofen and Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) belong to the group of drugs called NSAIDs - Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. They work in a very similar but not identical way. Acetaminophen is not considered an NSAID and is thought to work in the brain rather than peripherally. They are gastrointestinal irritants (APAP, the least irritating, also doesn't perform as well as an anti-inflammatory). They work as pain relievers by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. And, even though these drugs do not specifically interact with each other, unsupervised or self-medication has the risk of overdosing, if the patient takes very high doses or two or three of these meds concurrently.
The makers of Tylenol (APAP) specifically do not recommend the patient mixing these drugs without medical supervision. The reason for this is, while the drugs can themselves be safely used concurrently, dosage and over-dosage is always a concern. Understandably, they are worried about accidental overdose resulting from ignorance of the contents of all the medications their customers can take, and they've opted for the most conservative if not the most medically effective course in issuing this warning.
It is further observed that many over the counter and prescription products contain these medications. For instance, Tylenol is the brand name for APAP, so of course it'll contain it. Vicodin, a prescription painkiller, also contains APAP. And so on. The wise patient will keep a sharp eye on this when they use over the counter remedies, and will tell their doctor what they've taken, be it prescription, OTC or homeopathic/natural/herbal medication, so that the caregiver can make a clear, informed decision about further medication. It's generally accepted that the more a patient knows about their condition and medication, the better it is for everyone.
Keep in mind it is important to take the appropriate dosage. Overdosing can lead to drug toxicity.
The US National Institutes of Health reports that both acetaminophen and ibuprofen have been shown to be safe for adults or children when given individually or together in recommended doses for short term use. Children should be given only versions that are clearly identified for use by children. The combination has been shown to be superior to either product individually for the reduction of medium levels of pain. A landmark study is underway at Penn State School of Medicine to determine whether the combination is superior to either product individually for the reduction of fever. It is essential to follow directions for these products carefully, especially for acetaminophen. The margin for error in acetaminophen overdose is slim, and the consequences are serious. (For adults, the combination of acetaminophen and aspirin has been found to be superior to either product individually for the reduction of fever. Children should not be given aspirin.)

If you pop about 15-25 or the whole bottle like 1 after another you can overdose and it can lead to liver problems heart problems and most of the time death.Be careful if you wanna take 1 during the day to take a nap then take 1 and if u wanna take 1 at night take half if 1
Is Tylenol effective to abort pregnancy?
no. Tylenol will do nothing to the fetus unless you are overdosing, and then you have other problems to deal with too.
Tylenol is the medicine for pain recommended for pregnant women if they have to use any.
What can you mix children's Tylenol with so that your toddler will drink it?
The best way to get medicine into a baby or toddler is to use an oral syringe. You suck up the proper amount of medication by looking at the markings on the side of the syringe. Slide the tip of the syringe along the inside of the child's cheek until you can squirt the medicine far enough back so they can't spit it out easily, If you squirt it straight into the mouth, that's exactly what they do - go between the teeth and cheek instead. Have a small glass of their favorite drink handy and give it to them as soon as they swallow the medication.
What is the difference between aspirin and paracetamol?
Paracetamol is often more commonly known by its alternate name acetaminophen. It is a common drug that is usually available over the counter and sold under brand names like Tylenol®:. Its main uses are to relieve pain (analgesic) and to reduce fever (antipyretic), and it typically mild with few side effects. Most people can take paracetamol without problems, though there are a few instances where it may be contraindicated.
Aspirin is an analgesic, or pain reducer, an anti-inflammatory and a fever reducer. As such, it is often resorted to for mild to moderate pain, such as attends chronic arthritis, colds and flu, or sports injuries. Developed in the latter part of the nineteenth century, aspirin is now known to reduce the coagulation of the blood, and in continuous low doses can provide some protection from heart attacks.
What are the characteristics of acetaminophen?

If you are taking this much acetaminophen at once, then you are risking liver damage and failure. 4000mg is the maximum amount of Tylenol allowed in a 24 hour period. You also need to be on the look out for acetaminophen in other products, such as NyQuil, Excedrin, etc..
You may wish to speak with your doctor regarding medication.
Before doing so, I would try taking 800mg of ibuprofen (4 Advil or Motrin). If this doesn't work, I would also try taking two Aleve (naprosyn sodium). (Not altogether)
Taking 600 mg of Ibuprofen or 500 mg of Tylenol provide similar amounts of pain and fever reduction. Both are NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Can you take Tylenol with famotidine?
can I take tylenol with Famotidine or and atarax(antihystamine)
You weigh 145 pounds and get high when you take 2 Tylenol pm pills is that strange?
You're not getting high, as the ingredients in Tylenol pm are acetaminophen and diphenhydramine (an antihistamine better known as benadryl). Sorry to tell you that diphenhydramine doesn't cause any effects on the central nervous system, and really can only make you drowsy. If anybody is looking for a sleep aid, it's better to just buy generic benadryl than spend the money on Tylenol pm.
Is it safe to take Tylenol rapid release when pregnant?
I would recommend that with any medicines..prescriptions, OTC, vitamins, herbs that you talk with your ob/gyn doctor or his/her nurse ---- Tylenol is generally considered a safe medication during pregnancy. It is category B for pregnancy, which means there are no studies in animals or humans showing detrimental effects. I do agree, generally, with the sentiment above, however, that any new medication should be discussed with your Obstetrician if there are any questions or concerns.

Can you take Tylenol pm while on Cymbalta?
It might work for you, but I would certainly ask my doctor first. I will share with you my experience when taking these two drugs together to better help you determine if this is a good idea. I took only one Tylenol PM tablet when I was taking Cymbalta, and soon after I experienced extreme body jerking. It got so bad, I had to lay on the bed and hold my legs into my chest tightly. I couldn't even eat without throwing food everywhere, and my husband finally had to feed me. While I was sitting on the edge of the bed, my husband turned his back for a second. My entire body jerked onto the floor. I must have hit the back of my neck because there is a knot there now that won't go away. I might need to go to a chiropractor to fix this. I was unconscious and my body was jerking wildly. My husband said I changed colors then my body stiffened. After that, my husband thought I had died for sure. All the time this was happening he was talking to emergency, so they were on the way. He said I finally took a deep breath and started breathing normally again. He also said I threw up on the police officer who was in our room :P (Sorry officer). Since then, I have been experiencing terrible headaches all day everyday. I cringe at the thought of ever taking Tylenol PM again, and I have stopped taking Cymbalta. Still detoxing but I am almost there. Good luck to you, and I hope you find the way that is right for you.
Can you use acetaminophen and ibuprofen for weight loss?
No. Neither contain appetite suppressants and in fact, taking both or either on an empty stomach will cause nausea, sometimes sever nausea depending on how empty the stomach is and the individual. Continuing to regularly take acetaminophen (aspirin) without food can cause stomach ulcers and damage the lining of the stomach.
It just doesn't work.
Added: Just wanted to make a quick, but important note: acetaminophen is NOT the same as aspirin, as it might be concluded from the answer above. In fact, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a NON-ASPIRIN pain reliever that may be taken by people who cannot/should not take blood-thinning substances, such as aspirin.
Can you smoke marijuana and take Tylenol cold night time?

What happens when you have meth vodka and Tylenol pm in excess in your body?
You feel bad, will probably be sick and feel really bad tomorrow. The vodka would be the main concern. You can get alcohol poisoning and die. You really can't OD on Meth. It can make you do stupid things, but it probably won't kill you outright. Tylenol PM isn't going to be a big factor unless you took a whole bottle. Drink as much water as possible, stop what you are doing and figure out what the problem is. Been there, done that and it isn't the answer.
They do have Tylenol suppositories you can shove up his booty. Ask your doctor or pharmacist.
