Is 12000 Mg of naproxen sodium a lethal dose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all depends on the individuals body weight, the rate of metabolism (depends on intake of caffeine), and the time period in which the dosage was taken. If taken all at once by say an 80 pound teenage girl the likelihood of an over dosage is severely high.

Can taking Aleve cause leg cramps?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it causes leg cramps for me. It does wonders for my arthritis and other aches and pains. But, after a few days, I will wake up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, usually on the inside of my thighs - even sometimes in both legs at the same time.

I try to take potassium. This seems to help.

The Website doublecheckmd.com has a section on the liver-related side-effects of Tamiflu. I do not know how reliable a source that website is. I am continuing to research this question as I have a personal stake in the answer as well.

They state that

-----------Quote from website below------------------
"Tamiflu may cause hepatitis (infection or inflammation of the liver - may cause nausea; vomiting; fever; abdominal pain; jaundice/yellowing of the skin; fatigue; loss of energy; abnormal liver blood tests including GGT and AP/alkaline phosphatase).

This drug may also cause the following symptoms that are related to hepatitis:

  • Abnormal liver blood tests Abnormal liver blood tests
  • Liver problems Liver problems
  • Liver failure (may cause nausea; vomiting; fever; abdominal pain; jaundice/yellowing of the skin; fatigue; loss of energy; abnormal liver blood tests including GGT and AP/alkaline phosphatase) Liver failure (uncertainty exists about relationship between drug and side effect)

Medical Source Information
Yellow highlights indicate symptoms related to hepatitis.

Hepatic side effects have included hepatitis and abnormal liver function tests. Hepatic failure has also been reported; however, causality has not been established."

Is it safe to take 3 Aleve at once?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not a good idea.

The real problem here is the aspirin/ibuprofen combination. You can normally mix acetaminophen with either of those things, but combining aspirin with NSAIDs is a no-no.

The other complicating factor is that "Tylenol 3" contains an opioid, codeine. I know that codeine and aspirin are sometimes combined, but you're adding acetaminophen to the mix as well, you should probably ask your pharmacist.

It is not recommended for use in dogs and cats by vets due to the high risk of toxicity and overdose. If you decide to go ahead anyway, give an oral dose of 2 mg/kg every other day. Your dog weighs 45kg.

Can you take cephalexin and naproxen together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No do not take them together

ANSWER:

The above answer is not correct. YES you may take Aspirin and Cephalexin together. This, and many other relative questions can be answered safely and reliably by calling your local pharmacy, and requesting to speak with the pharmacist on staff. I have verified this information on your behalf, with three pharmacists.

If you are taking Keflex (Cephalexin) for an infection in your GI system, it is not recommended that you consume Aspirin, because it may cause further stomach upset in relation to the GI infection. However, if your bacterial infection is not related to your GI (gastrointestinal)...stomach...then Aspirin is fine to take along with the Cephalexin.

On a personal note, I was prescribed Keflex (which is Cephalexin) for an infected gland. It was painful, and I also took Aspirin (one Aspirin, 325mg). I had no problems and it did help with the pain.

Be sure to read the Aspirin bottle, however, and do not take any more than what is printed on the label.

In the future, I highly recommend asking for a print-out of food and drug interactions that your prescribed medication has, and keep it close. CVS, Walgreen's, and Osco Drug all offer this as a courtesy. All you have to do is request it.

Should you take Aleve or hydrocodon for tooth pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would say it depends on the type of dental pain (pre-surgical,post-surgical,or just bad infections or abcesses). Demerol (meperidine) is a way stronger pain killer than hydrocodone( vicodin,lortab,norco,vicoprofen). People having serious dental surgeries or have a tolerence to opiods might need the stronger demerol. Less severe dental pain can most likely be controlled by hydrocodone. Also hydrocodone always has either acetaminophen,or ibuprofen in it . While meperidine (demerol) has only that drug in it. The acetaminophen or ibuprofen in hydrocodone also has an anti swelling property to it which can help a lot. I've personally never heard of demerol prescribed for dental pain. Usually if something stronger than hydrocodone is needed percocet (oxycodone) is given.
